In The Name of Purpose:
Sacrificing Truth on the Altar of Unity
by Tamara Hartzell, 2006
"Today's Christianity may be having a lot of fun in its new way of
thinking and behaving, but this isn't a game. Eternal souls are at
stake, and the departure from the faith is real. Jesus Christ is
being presented as a way of relativism rather than as the way and
the truth, and the faith is being presented as an ever-changing
method or experience that can be inserted into any faith." (In the
Name of Purpose, p. 385)
Simply being a Christian does not automatically immunize us from
deception. Scripture's numerous warnings are meant to be heeded. If
Christians couldn't be deceived, then the Holy Spirit would be
wrong about those who will "depart from the faith" (see 1 Timothy
4:1).
Sadly, this departure from the faith will be so great that the Lord
Jesus Christ asks us to consider whether He will actually find
faith on the earth when He returns (see Luke 18:
. Since Christians today are trading in the truth of the
faith for interfaith unity and are falling for the false gospel of
the (New Age) New Spirituality that says all religions are equally
valid paths to God, it's no wonder the Lord Jesus Christ asked
this.
The universal religion with its spiritual transformation is not
coming; it is here. The Angel of light's kingdom is gathering
together "all men of peace" from "every world religion" "as the
embodiment of the emerging Kingdom of God on earth."* In this
emerging interfaith kingdom there is:
"One Truth," yet many theologies;
"One God," yet many paths;
"One Church," yet many expressions; and
"One Divine Life," yet many 'little Christs.'
Despite its deceived claims that its message hasn't changed,
today's Christianity is embracing the teachings of the counterfeit
kingdom. As a result, it is being steadily transitioned away from
Jesus Christ, the Rock of Offence, to the universal "Christ" who
broadly accepts people within all religions/faiths. Its purposeful
pursuit of unity with the world truly is uniting today's
Christianity with the world.
"The religion of the future will be a general converging of
religions in a universal Christ that will satisfy all ... In the
end, it is hoped that the Christian will become a better Christian
and each Hindu a better Hindu." Jesuit theologian Father Jacques
Dupuis, at the 2003 interfaith congress "The Future of God"*
"The Christ has no religious barriers in His consciousness. It
matters not to Him of what faith a man may call himself." Alice
Bailey & Djwhal Khul*
"I happen to know people who are followers of Christ in other
religions." Rick Warren*
"He ['the Christ'] inaugurated the new era and ... the new world
religion began to take form. The word 'religion' concerns
relationship ..." Alice Bailey & Djwhal Khul*
"I have known many people who believe in the Messiah of Jesus,
regardless of what religion they are, because they believe in him.
It's about a relationship, not a religion." Rick Warren*
"The day is dawning when all religions win [sic] be regarded as
emanating from one great spiritual source; all will be seen as
unitedly providing the one root out of which the universal world
religion will inevitably emerge. Then there will be neither
Christian nor heathen, neither Jew nor Gentile, but simply one
great body of believers, gathered out of all the current
religions." Alice Bailey & Djwhal Khul*
"I thought, you know where people are moving in they probably need
new houses of worships, temples, and synagogues, and churches, and
stuff like that." Rick Warren*
"The church is bigger than any organization in the world. Then you
add in Muslims, you add in Hindus, you add in all the different
religions, and you use those houses of worship as distribution
centers, not just for spiritual care but health care." Rick
Warren*
"I could take you today to a million villages ... they got a
church. Or they got a synagogue. They got something. They got a
house of worship. The church is the biggest organization in the
world.... And I came up with a thing called the P.E.A.C.E. Plan.
When Jesus sent the disciples out, he said, 'When you go into a
village, you find the man of peace.' Now this person doesn't have
to be a Christian.... You find the person of peace, and then you
begin to do the P.E.A.C.E. Plan ... Now why am I telling this to
you? Because we're going public with it this next year in 2006....
And I believe it will change the world." Rick Warren*
Yes, change is the order of the day.
Truth becomes the sacrifice:
when absolutism is out, and relativism is in;
when obedience is out, and pragmatism is in;
when teaching is out, and dialogue is in;
when thus saith the Lord is out, and consensus of opinion is
in;
when using Scripture to judge right and wrong is out, and unity
with tolerance at all costs is in;
when the narrow way is out, and the broad way is in.
While Christians have slumbered, the new way of thinking and acting
has been built up underneath the old, leaving the old to crumble
virtually without notice.
