Can we all be Abrahamians? Can we cross the Muslim/Christian/Jewish differences and be called by Abraham?

Question

I am sick and tired watching Christians, Muslims and Jews fighting and verbally abusing each other's religions. Religions were communicated to mankind for two purposes; one is Human/God or Creature/Maker relationship and the other is Human/Human relationship. What we see now is humanity being divided into groups each is badmouthing the other and believe me; nothing good will come out of this. It is in no one interest to go back to religious wars and kill each other. If God wanted us ALL to be of one single faith don't you think he could have done it? and while he's at it why not make us all one race with the same skin colour and physical traits. The idea of civilization is to develop ourselves and cross the boundary of being different and know how to live together in harmony. Do I approve of what Muslims are doing now, or what Hitler did in ww2 or the Turks did with the Armenians, HELL NO! this was all madness that we should leave behind and be worthy of the word Human beings..

Answer 1

Verily, Sir, the Master said "There be none so blind as will not see."

I always wonder what happened to the "Human Race"?

Merry Christmas.

Answer 2

Baha'is believe that all the major religions comprise one great, progressive religion - The Religion of God. Abraham was the first Manifestation of God in the Abrahamic religious cycle which ended with the Seal of the Prophets, Mohammed. In 1863 a new religious cycle was heralded by The Bab (The Gate) and in 1844, as foretold in the Books of the Messengers, the first Revelation of this new religious cycle was revealed. The Manifestation of God for this age is Baha'u'llah (The Glory of God) and His Revelation is available to all humanity.

"... consort with the followers of all religions in a spirit of friendliness and fellowship..." -Baha'u'llah

"... The earth is but one country and mankind its citizens." -Baha'u'llah

"O CHILDREN OF MEN!
Know ye not why We created you all from the same dust? That no one should exalt himself over the other. ..." -Baha'u'llah

The trouble is there's really not enough there for a single religion. What would this religion's systems be?

There's a God
That God should be worshipped;
And, uh... about half of us shouldn't eat pork.

The way each religion prays, the piety practices, soteriology, eschatology - they are all different. Its a great idea in theory, but the reason we have different religions, is because we all believe differently enough for there to be different religions. We can't wish ourselves into a non-existent unity, unfortunately.

Abraham can't save me from my sins. Only Jesus can!
