Spirit -- For our World
The Oneness of Religion
There is only one God, holding forth one great evolving religion, and there is but one human family,
thirsting for reunion with that Source…
thirsting for reunion with that Source…
For a Peaceful World

All religions are one: Their roots are the same.
Each has the same purpose: the advancement of human civilization.
They follow the same basic ten Commandments and codes of conduct: These are the “Eternal Laws”.*
Each faith was begun by an Amazing spiritual Being showing powers
beyond anything that is merely human.
These Amazing Beings suffered for their teachings, and yet manifested pure love and tolerance
for the persecutors.
The new teachings of each new faith are far, far ahead of their time, and of the human standards of the time.
Each religion admits of other Prophets and builds on those previous teachings.
Each also enjoins us to seek out future Prophets and revelations, and gives signs by which
to recognise them.
In addition to the Oneness of the Faiths, I submit that every religious teaching of our time will and should make sense.
When properly interpreted, they will not be found to directly contradict science and reason.*
If the religions are for our healing then this must be so, for civilization cannot advance without it. Also, hearts will not be won over, for people are more educated than in past ages and will not be satisfied by the old out moded ways.
One potter has fashioned all the pots,
One light pervades all creation."
Sikhism; Sire Rag, Ashtoadiyan, p.26
Believe it or not, religion and peace are related!* Although it has caused bloodshed in the past, religion has great power for unity. "Religion must be a means of unity..."* |
Religion is one, and made for the good of the world.
