Is there hope to establish peace in the world? Not just politically, but among the different religions as well

Question

Lol. I'm glad at least one person is positive about this. Personally, I feel like it all starts on an individual basis. We all have control over ourselves, and only ourselves. I do think my religion is right-for myself. However, I'm open to hearing other points of view, too. I find learning about others beliefs very interesting, not cause for conflict. What I'm trying to say is, that isn't if possible for people to approach this category with more pureness and reverance in their hearts, and before speaking, realize that at a very basic level, we are all the same?

I never stop learning here. I didn't even know there was a religion called Bahai. Thanks for sharing that.

Answer 1

keeping the present situation in view.it look like a dream tht will never come true.........but i feel YES .........i am always hopeful .

Answer 2

True peace is impossible with conflict, even just conflict of beliefs. You'd need to eradicate all opposition, thats possibly why most religions have an end times in which the non-believers get killed off.

Answer 3

Well, one way or the other, that will be achieved.

Just how many will die, is an academic question.

Yesterday, we had the warmongers like Hitler with his "Master Race" ideas; today the Muslims are dangerously propagating the "Master Religion" equation.

We all know that not all Muslims are like that and that it's a minority of them that do this, but then who can help that?

Not all the Germans were Nazi, but all the Germans paid for Hitlers misdeeds.

History has a bad habit of repeating itself.

Answer 4

The Bible tells us there will be...Isaiah wrote:

“In the last days the mountain of the LORD’s temple will be established as chief among the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it. Many peoples will come and say, ‘Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.’ The law will go out from Zion, the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore.”

And again, he wrote, “Every warrior’s boot used in battle and every garment rolled in blood will be destined for burning, will be fuel for the fire. For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders…Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end.”

Answer 5

Not in this present wicked system of things. Take a look in the political sytem. Do you see any evidence of peace in the near future? World leaders cannot even hold a peaceful meeting at the UN this past September. These are supposed to be influential leaders, but it just goes to show you how "man cannot direct his own steps." (Jeremiah 10:23) Also, the political system is corrupt. They are having debates over abortion, homosexuality and peace, whereas the Bible condems murder (Deuteronomy 5:17) and homosexuality (1 Corinthians 6:9, 10). You keep hearing of "peace talks." Yet, there is bloodshed in the name of religion.

In a sudden, shocking move, the world's political powers will turn on false religion and completely destroy her! What will prompt this action? The Bible book of Revelation 17:17 says how "God put it into their hearts to carry out his thought." So, be careful about putting your trust in the government/nobles (Psalm 146:3)

In general, it is very hard to be in harmony with each other when many people have conflicting ideas. Just look within the political system. We hear of the U.S. telling Korea to stop testing nuclear weapons, but Korea has other plans. In religion, the teachings, doctrines and conduct all differ from religion to religion.

The only way for peace to be established is to have one religion with the same doctrine, conduct and teachings in order to be happy eternally. Ephesians 4:5, 6 says, "one Lord, one faith, one baptism; [v6] one God and Father of all [persons], who is over all and through all and in all. That scripture says one faith, one God and Father. Only one faith will still be standing and will "never be brought to ruin." (Daniel 2:44)

What faith is that? The religion that bases its teachings, NOT based on human "traditions" and "commands," but solely on God's Word the Bible (See 2 Timothy 3:16;).

The religion that displays love and not divided by culture, race, color, ethnicity. They are colored with love. True religion bases its doctrine on God's Word, the Bible (Matthew 15:6-9; John 13:34, 35)

The religion that upholds high moral standards and strengthens families. Husbands must love their wives as their own bodies (Ephesians 5:28), Wives must develop deep respect for their husbands (Ephesians 5:33) and Children obeying their parents (Ephesians 6:1)

What is the name of this true religion? Here is a hint, their trademark is preaching from door-to-door. Their initials are JW's. Perhaps they have knocked at your door, but you were not interested. Sometimes, the solutions we look for are right in front of our faces, but don't know it. Next time, take the time and ask them the same question you posed here as well as other questions you may have.

Thanks,

Answer 6

Yes - once we realize that all the primary religions in the world are sent from the same God - "This is the changeless Faith of God - eternal in the past, eternal in the future."

Answer 7

Answer 8

No... No matter how OK you say you are with other people's ideas, you will still always be thinking "Yeah, but you're wrong."

Answer 9

not until we get rid of religious gangs, they are always fighting each other.

Answer 10

Never. 'Cause somebody will just come up and say, "No, your religion is wrong."
