Emerging One World Church

Step by step, what is "emerging" may not be what you think it is.

Things are changing everywhere. What's happening? To begin to understand, it is crucial to take a closer look and find out what is really being said. For example:

quoted from this
article:
"According to a prominent liberal Evangelical, there is a major political and generational shift going on among Evangelical Christians in America. (says) Jim Wallis, the editor of Sojourners Magazine......"

(and this toward the end of the article:)

"Religion has no monopoly on morality," Wallis agreed, acknowledging that all the great social movements have had a significant component of people of faith, but never exclusively. "And there's a whole new denomination now," he added, "called the spiritual but not religious, that's growing all over the country."
----------------------------------
Here is an article telling us of what is being called a "major shift" among "Evangelical Christians". Christian are you aware that you are being shifted? According to Jim Wallis you are being shifted into a "whole new denomination". What does this mean? When he says that it's no longer "religious" but it's now "spiritual", how is that to be understood? The answer is not difficult. "Religion" is something that divides, but "spirituality" can be inclusive. This is a creative use of language which really means the dismantling of religious institutions to unify people of different beliefs for efficient global management. Yes, this calls for a whole new denomination for a whole new society. The global society, and it is not going to be any one "religion" i.e. Christianity, but a blending of all religions.

An interesting definition of globalization:

According to
Wikipedia: Globalization can be described as a process by which the people of the world are unified into a single society. This process is a combination of economic, technological, sociocultural and political forces.[* Sheila L. Croucher. Globalization and Belonging: The Politics of Identity in a Changing World. Rowman & Littlefield. (2004). p.10 ]

The "process" of globalization, by which "the people of the world are unified into a single society" is not only underway it is quite advanced. The majority of people are unaware primarily because they are not looking for it, and consequently do not understand the implications of the changes that are happening. It is hoped that the Christian reader may begin first to see, and then to understand what is happening. Many Christians are taught that they are to be "Kingdom builders" and have "Kingdom thinking", etc. The problem is that the "Kingdom" being created is not one that would ever submit to the "King of Kings". No, the stage is being readied for another, one world religion and all. This will be the one the Word of God identifies as...

"that man of sin..... the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped" (2 Thes. 2:4)
