The One World Church

[Salty]

When it comes to the one-world church - Will the Muslims be part of it? If so, who will be the ruler? The pope or a Muslim leader.

The pope wants to mend the schism with the Eastern Orthodox. One of the major differences is that Eastern Orthodox does not recognize papal supremacy.


In addition, he wants dialog with Muslims.

So is this the beginning of the one-world church?

The one world church is something I hear about from time to time. Although I have not actually searched for it, I don't recall seeing any direct scriptural support for it. So, would anyone like to enlighten me?

[FONT=&quot]Revelation 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Revelation 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]2 Thessalonians 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.[/FONT]

All pf the inaved who are religious shall be part of it, and the leader of that will be the False prophet to the False messiah, Antichrist...

That is scriptural support but it is not very direct. As you know there are several interpretations of the Revelation passage. One is that this beast out of the earth represents the Jewish rulers of Jerusalem, who were generally in cahoots with the Romans. Another interpretation is that this beast represents the pagan priests of the Roman emperors.

There seems to be a common belief that a one world religion is an established fact for the future, just like the rapture. You can't find direct uncontroverted evidence of either in the scriptures.

It will not be Muslim, Catholic, or reflect anything we see today. It will be all about the Anti-Christ trying to copy Christ.

I think the pope may become muslim or at least fall into chrislam.

 

[Yeshua1]

It will be the world religion left over after the rapture of the true Church of Christ, but could well be the Church of Rome heading it up...
