Ecumenism - unity of all religions

[handsoff241]

---

Are you saying ECUMENISM are only for Christians, Muslims and Jews? Are you saying Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Confucianism, Baha'i, and other faiths are excluded? Think again!

Forcing THEOSOPHY? Critical Thinking please!

NO! please read again, i said "etc" to pertain to the rest of the religious denominations of the world. buddhism hinduism etc.

then what's the purpose for this thread? information drive?

please stop spamming those fake smiley, they are losing their value to you.

wala na silay labot, reg, kay outside salvation na sila.

im not a close minded fundie, remember im one of the catholics who thinks even hitler can be saved.

Do you know what is common to all religions? Not even the concept of GOD but the concept of THE GOLDEN RULE! And that is the essence of ECUMENISM!

the essence of ecunemism revolves around a "god" being a paternal/communal being.

Ok, but why are you so allergic of THEOSOPHY? It's not even imposing a CATMATIC I mean DOGMATIC belief because THEOSOPHY is a relgious synthesis of all philosophies. Are you aware that there are relgions who don't subscribe to your Anthropomorphic god? The, why do you keep on pushing your Anthropomorphic god as universal? That is just a dogmatic belief and not based on universal TRUTH!

ESOTERIC side of religions don't buy on your Anthropomorpic god by the way!

So, what do you think is the purpose of Ecumenism if not for UNITY and UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD? Embracing the belief of your Anthropomorpic god? Maybe but then again what is important are the UNIVERSAL VALUES such as LOVE, PEACE and UNITY!

Spamming? Well, I respect your opinion and in my opinion I am not spamming my dear! Losing value? for you but for me it is valuable!

PACEM IN TERRIS!

I beg to disagree. The ESSENCE of ECUMENISM is a healthy SPIRITUAL DIALOGUE and TOLERANCE among religions despite of their differences in their faith. What is important in ECUMENISM is not their doctrines and beliefs but rather the UNIVERSAL VALUES such as PEACE, UNITY and LOVE or COMPASSIOn! Remember BUDDHISM doesn't talk about GOD and by the way GOD is not being a paternal only but maternal too in some religions!

I want you to refer it to the encylcical letter of Pope John XXIII on PACEM IN TERRIS! Read it coz you are a Catholic. I have read that letter when I was in first year high school pa!

PAX MI AMIGO!

I'm not allergic to theosophy, for the record. But the way you insist that it supports ecumenism is quite uncomfortable to ignore. I'm not pushing him as universal, I am stating it with regards also to your statement, if you think im pushing for it,well think again, kabantay diay ka magsugod ko ug thread para lang ana? I only let out those ideas when parry arguments, which is in a purpose, only a response and not an assertion.

Esoteric side of religion is not practiced, they exist because the system requires them to. They are not the blood of religion, they are luxuries of people with overwhelming wisdom.

So, what do you think is the purpose of Ecumenism if not for UNITY and UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD? Embracing the belief of your Anthropomorpic god? Maybe but then again what is important are the UNIVERSAL VALUES such as LOVE, PEACE and UNITY!

Purpose is unity. As I have said(kapoya ani oi taligam-an man ang ubang detalye kapoy cge'g balik) we don't need to embrace god as an athropomorphic being, we already recognize him as such.

Sorry about the smiley issue, i know you are a bubbly guy. but sometimes the smiley does not coincide with the words. can't blame me for that cause i have common sense.

That is the goal of ecumenism, the essence I was talking about was it's aspect with regards to the idea of God.

Thanks for the idea, you know the first reason why i want to hangout with you is because you have a vast reserve of information.
