Parliament of the World’s Religions seeks understanding and action

August 11, 2023

Anila Ali traces her interest in the interfaith movement to scripture.

“God says in the Koran to Muslims,” she says, “I have created you into tribes—different tribes—so that you may get to know each other.” … “Islam came to liberate women. It was a modern, progressive religion. And a lot of the teachings have been stolen.”

Stolen, she says, by religious radicals.

“And I feel that it’s time we set the record straight,” Ali says.

Part of setting the record straight is her participation in this year’s Parliament of the World’s Religions, which begins Sunday in Chicago. …

The Parliament is one of the world’s largest inter-faith gatherings and comes at a time when belief is often seen as a force that divides. But its progressive organizers want to send a different message

Some 10,000 participants from more than 80 countries and 200 religious traditions will convene in Chicago.

The meeting has its origins back in 1893, when the first Parliament of the World’s Religions took place as part of the world’s fair known as the Columbian Exposition. The gathering was held in what is now the Art Institute of Chicago and is viewed as the birth of the modern interfaith movement, which holds that different religions have something to learn from each other and can cooperate for the good of humanity. …

Among this year’s participants is Michael Bernard Beckwith, founder of Agape International Spiritual Center in Los Angeles, part of the New Thought movement. …

This idea of a global ethic has its origins in the work of the Swiss theologian and Catholic priest Hans Küng. …

The theme of this year’s Parliament is “A Call to Conscience: Defending Freedom and Human Rights.” It’s a call close to program chair Phyllis Curott’s heart.

“We are we recognize that we are creating the world as we wish it to be,” she says.

Curott is a Wiccan priestess, … it is sometimes difficult, says Parliament executive director Stephen Avino, for people to see the good that religions do given how people use faith to abridge the rights of others based on race, gender and sexual orientation.

Depending on who wields it, Ali says, religious power can bring destruction or light.

“It is also like fire.” https://www.npr.org/2023/08/11/1192525419/parliament-of-the-worlds-religions-seeks-understanding-and-action

The interfaith movement has many parts. It is good to peacefully cooperate with people, whether or not they share the same religion. However, much of what the interfaith movement pushes is opposed to the Bible as well as it tends to ignore the real God. Many in it, push condoning of sexual and other immorality that the Bible says should not be condoned (cf. Romans 1:18-32).

Despite supposedly preaching tolerance, the interfaith movement wants to shut down aspects of religious and moral speech (e.g. see Interfaith leaders opposing LGBT conversion therapy).

Here is a video about the interfaith movement promoting sexual immorality:

Interfaith movement pushing LGBTQ+ agenda

Deutsche Welle reported “LGBT conversion therapy: Religious leaders call for ban to ‘abhorrent’ practice.” 370 religious leaders around the world have declared their support for the LGBTQ+ agenda. They declare their support of the view of the World Health Organization that it is normal to not be cisgender heterosexual. They bemoan “that certain religious teachings have often, throughout the ages” (like those of the Bible) have “caused … offense to those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex.” The Global Interfaith Commission on LGBT+ Lives wants people to tell their religious leaders to sign a supportive “Global Declaration.’ Yet, this is in conflict with scripture. In this video, Dr. Thiel quotes scriptures from the Holy Bible that clearly oppose and condemn homosexuality, lesbianism, transgenderism, and male effeminacy. God is not the author of confusion. Dr. Thiel also quotes passages in the Bible where God warns what will happen to those who despise His statutes, abhors God’s judgments, so that you do not perform all His commandments. Dr. Thiel also points to the totalitarian system the interfaith agenda is moving towards.

The interfaith movement tends to favor different commandments. Related to that, we put out the following video:

Interfaith Beast Commandments?

On November 13, 2022, the Interfaith Center for Sustainable Development had a ceremony in Egypt where they laid out ‘Ten Principles for Climate Repentance.’ Then two tablets were tossed down and broken in the traditional area that Moses broke the tablets of the Ten Commandments at the base of Mt. Sinai. The ‘breaker’ had also given Newsweek a set of climate ‘Ten Commandments’ in August of 2022. Furthermore, in the Spring of 2022, Ecumenical News and the World Council of Churches reported about a set of digital ‘Ten Commandments,’ which, while a mixture of good and evil, condoned sin. Are these actions helping to set the stage for the Beast who will change times and law (Daniel 7:25)? Will the coming Beast and Antichrist promote the breaking God’s Ten Commandments? Are the ecumenical and interfaith movements moving in that direction? Would actually keeping God’s Ten Commandments solve weather matters that are blamed on ‘climate change’? Steve Dupuie and Dr. Thiel address these matters.

Here is a link to our video: Interfaith Beast Commandments?

Notice the following:

14 ‘But if you do not obey Me, and do not observe all these commandments,
15 and if you despise My statutes, or if your soul abhors My judgments, so that you do not perform all My commandments, but break My covenant,
16 I also will do this to you:
I will even appoint terror over you, wasting disease and fever which shall consume the eyes and cause sorrow of heart. (Leviticus 26:14-16)

The interfaith movement clearly abhors God’s judgments, despises the word of God, and His standards of morality. We have seen terror and a waste causing disease (COVID)–but a more totalitarian form of terror is coming (Revelation 13)–and the interfaith movement is inadvertently pushing towards it.

The Vatican has long been pushing aspects of the interfaith agenda, including the promotion of items that are associated with paganism (see Vatican continues to promote interfaith agenda, including “Amazonian religion’ paganism). The Vatican also is working towards various plans with the Muslims (see ‘The Catholic-Muslim Interfaith Council Created By Pope Francis Announces New Chrislam Headquarters Opening In 2022’). Protestants and many others also are supporting related aspects of this (e.g. CT: Global Church is experiencing an ‘ecumenical emergency’; CNA: Anglicans recognize Pope as ‘father of the Church in the West,’ says archbishop of Canterbury and Pope Francis and WCC pushing interfaith agenda).

A forced religion is to come upon the world per Revelation 13. It, in my view, will have many aspects of the interfaith and ecumenical agenda that the Vatican, the United Nations, and the World Council of Churches has been promoting.

The religious should realize that the Bible opposes the interfaith agenda:

14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? 15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said:

“I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.”

17 Therefore

“Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.” (2 Corinthians 6:14-17)
