Ecumenical Compromises
An Angel King gave me a Briefing on the planned New Dispensation – “The Three Peoples suffering from Drought need to be brought to the Water” – and the Angel knelt and drew a Map on the ground showing 3 Mountains (one to the North West, the second to the North, and the third to the South East, which was adjacent to a large Lake to its East). From this I inferred that the Three Higher Religions, which are now undergoing a Dry Period, would be brought to one New Spiritual Fountain.
I should have asked for clarification but I didn’t. However, I understand the Three Peoples to be Catholicism, Islam and the Sanskrit Traditions.
It is my hope that the New Dispensation will be ushered in with numerous Signs and Wonders. Today there are rather more people who are apathetic about the doctrines tenaciously held by any of the Institutionalized Religions, then those who would stubbornly persist in them. Such apathetic people would instantly be attracted to a Super Christ-like Saint or Prophet. But maybe it will not be that easy, or maybe God intends that some of the Religious Diehards be brought into the New Fold also. This would require that they accept some level of compromise.
As Christ said, you cannot pour New Wine into Old Skins. All of the Ancient surviving Religions are very ‘old skins’. They’ve poured out their wine, and now they all show themselves to be dry in the Spirit. Where Christians think they can convert Islam, or Islam that they can convert Christianity… well each would be humiliated to accept the complete doctrines of the other while rejecting all of their own. And to convert them by force would take 3 Generations to assimilate – three Generations which would be packed with murderous civil conflicts. It would not be worth it. Besides, these two Religions can hardly hold onto their present memberships, let alone expand. Christianity is falling prey to Atheists, Masons, Scientists and Secularists. Islam is falling to the same trends, with the added threat of Military Intimidation being foisted upon them by the West. A New Dispensation, to draw in the old Diehards from Catholicism and Islam will have to preserve the essentials of each Tradition while eliminating the offensive non-essentials. They would need to be offered something they obviously agree with, while being asked to give up ideas that they do not feel it worth fighting for.
Christianity could easily lose all the excrescent influences of Paul – salvation by Faith, rejection of Righteousness, Christ as a Polytheistic God – Christ taught none of these things. Islam – they could give up the notion that Mohammed was the final word from God… which will be easy enough for them when they are confronted by this next Great Prophet. The Sanskrit Traditions could demote their Multitudes of Gods and Goddesses to the rank of Arch Angels so as to side-step the charge of blatant Polytheism.
