I wonder how many people are aware of the move towards a one world religion, and how that plays out in end times prophecy. According to the bible, this should be our response when people try to bring another gospel:
Gal 1:6-10 NIV84 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— (7) which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. (8) But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! (9) As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned! (10) Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
Yet in the YouTube clips and subsequent article, you will see a completely different response. There is now a widely accepted assumption that all religions worship the same God, yet that is clearly contrary to what the bible teaches. We need to stand firmly on what scripture teaches. If you choose to compromise the word of God, you will find yourself on a very slippery path which will ultimately require you to tear huge chunks out of your bible as the truth is systematically diluted to accommodate conflicting beliefs. Stand firm!
The unifying of the world religions started to gain momentum after the Pope called all world religions together at Assisi back in 1986. This old video clip by Dave Hunt shows footage from that meeting:

The seriousness of this ecumenical movement to unify the religions must not be under-estimated. Watch now as famous evangelist, Billy Graham, embraces unity during an interview with Robert Schuller:
Finally, read this article about the Interfaith worship centre in Omaha. Ironically, the Saudi government has also funded a multi-million dollar interfaith centre in Vienna. Feel free to research that yourself!

[Tri-Faith Initiative] The National Council of Churches of Christ USA will present an award to the Episcopal Tri-Faith Ministries in Omaha, Nebraska on Feb. 9 as an “engaged interfaith community, one of only five awards given this year to U.S. churches.
The Episcopal Tri-Faith Ministries is the new church which will be sited with its Tri-Faith Initiative partners, Temple Israel and the American Institute of Islamic Studies and Culture in a unique campus featuring a synagogue, a church, a mosque and an interfaith center at Sterling Ridge (http://www.sterlingridge.com/About.html), a new development at the former home of the Ironwood golf course.
“We are a congregation engaged in interfaith work because of our partnership with Temple Israel and the AIISC,” said the Rev. Canon Tim Anderson, who leads the new Episcopal congregation. “We are accepting in the name of all the partners in the Tri-Faith Initiative.”
The new church is a project of the Episcopal Diocese of Nebraska, which serves the whole state and has 55 parishes. The Diocese joined the Tri-Faith Initiative in 2006 along with the Jewish and Muslim organizations. “We all trace our religions back the patriarch Abraham.” explained Anderson.
Rabbi Aryeh Azriel of Temple Israel said “I have been amazed and overwhelmed by the strength and leadership of the Episcopal Diocese of Nebraska. After only five years of dreaming and visioning about the Tri-Faith relationship, we are poised to undertake the construction of a campus, where three faith communities will live in harmony under God’s watching eye.”
“The willingness of the Episcopal Diocese to learn and listen to the other two faiths has played a major role in continuing with this dialogue and advancing the relationship between the members of the three faiths,” said Dr. Syed Mohiuddin, president of the AIISC. “The intentional co-location of these places of worship of the Abrahamic faiths with the Center of Learning (a fourth building serving as an interfaith center) is a feat unheard of in our religious history. It will be a place where we will share our dreams, our hopes and our inspiration in the service of God.”
The award will be presented at 7 p.m. at St. Augustine of Canterbury Church, 285 South 208th St. in Elkhorn, NE, by Marilyn Mecham, executive director of Interchurch Ministries of Nebraska on behalf of the NCCCUSA. Bishop J. Scott Barker, Rabbi Azriel, and Karim Khayati from the AIISC will speak during the brief ceremony, followed by a dessert reception. The service is open to the public and there is no charge.
The Episcopal Tri-Faith Ministries meets at St. Augustine at 5 p.m. each Sunday for a worship service followed by an informal dinner and program. The weekly programs explore aspects of interfaith dialogue.
