Could all Religions Come Together?

The quoted post was speaking of the effect upon a mindset today.

in fact the heavens provided 3 examples, all misconstrued particularly by the religion of the roman empire, c bible and judaism - the unwed mery, happily living with joseph - the itinerant - mary magdalene as examples of the events that lead to the final chapter -

excluding the prevailing - arrogant, paterfamilias of both the political / judaism at that time as a mutual discernment that prevails to this day.

I've been correct about future events and am not a prophet.
Jesus sets himself apart from prophets. Who else has said that he and "the Father" are one? Who else said that before the first prophet he already existed?

No one that I know of. Nonetheless Muslims consider him the purest of the prophets.

Difficult to explain some things.

Not really. The Jews don't believe Jesus is the messiah either.

Could all Religions Come Together?

No, the very purpose of religion is to foment conflict and division, to advance one’s religion as the ‘true’ religion, and to vanquish other faiths through proselytization, intimidation, and war.

Indeed, religion has been the dominant cause of war for thousands of years.

No mystery there; easily explainable.

Well, Jesus wasn't an anointed warrior king who vanquished their enemies.

Perhaps I should have asked, Despite differing beliefs, how can we make worshiping together happen?

Let's start with the three Abrahamic faiths. How might we come together?

It doesn’t make any difference how you phrase the question – the answer remains the same: conflict and division is the purpose of religion; the three Abrahamic faiths in particular.

The three Abrahamic faiths exist because of religion’s propensity for conflict and division.

Even the so-called Christian churches could never get together. Without the Pope, the R.C.C has no raison d'être, and no major "Protestant" faiths would survive accepting a pope.
So much more are the impassable differences between other religions.
How many gods in Hinduism, how many in Buddhism and how many in Islam?

Good luck with that.

A propensity that exists in every other facet of human social organization. This is how religions are essentially political. Some form of élite forms that doesn't hesitate to exploit the foibles of the others. Their message supports their means.

Good luck with that.

Exactly.
The only to bring humans together spiritually would be to, first, have the vast majority at least admit something spiritual could exist and then have some transcendent spiritual event occur. Direct revelation to everyone at the same time.

That's not going to happen either.

Now who's prophesying?

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Because Jesus prayed we might all be one, not that we all be divided.

That we might all be one, that we’re all not divided, can come about only when there’s an end to religion.

Religion is the bane of humankind – the cause of war and conflict, the source of bigotry, discrimination, and hate, the justification for division and exclusion.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Muslims, Christians and Jews all worship different gods.

What they all have in common is none of those gods exist.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

yes, that's where they are indoctrinated that Islam is the only true religion and all others are to be destroyed.

And here we have an example of how religion foments bigotry and hate, in this case the unwarranted vilification of Islam.
