Do you believe the UN will soon try to over throw world religion in attempts to attain peace?

Question

I asked this question in the Politics section and got good logical answers. would like to see how the lovers of religion n(any religion) view this question.

very interesting.just as i suspected. Asking this question got me exactly opposite answers than in the government section. People that are more religous take a protective stance over this question and say it will not happen. hmmmm
i disagree. i believe it will. soon

KDUDE,
Im talking about organized religion. not about 3 people studying the bible in there backyard.

JR-
Nice Job! kinda hard to explain that in one paragraph or less huh? hehe

IDDYBUG93
very nice explanation. I hope people take the time to read it.

Answer 1

I believe that they will try to do this soon because Bible prophecy indicates this to be true.

Rather than living up to their UN commitment to “settle their international disputes by peaceful means,” nations or whole blocs of nations have often resorted to war, claiming that the ‘matter was essentially within their domestic jurisdiction.’—Article 2(3,7).

"Since the UN’s formation, twenty million persons have died in wars, a mournful fact attesting to the cost of that failure.’—“Nation Against Nation,” by Thomas M. Franck

In highly symbolic language, the book of Revelation describes the destruction of Babylon the Great. At Revelation 17:16 we read: “The ten horns that you saw, and the wild beast, these will hate the harlot and will make her devastated and naked, and will eat up her fleshy parts and will completely burn her with fire.” “The ten horns” symbolize all the political powers now on the world scene and that support the United Nations, the “scarlet-colored wild beast,” itself the image of the Devil’s bloodstained political system.—Revelation 16:2; 17:3.
According to Bible prophecy, the political powers associated with the United Nations will turn against the world empire of false religion and devastate her. All false religions will be affected. Some political systems have already shown their impatience with false religion’s interference in political and social spheres. Some socialistic countries have taken a stand for atheism and have reduced religion to a virtual nonentity, as in Albania, or to a compliant handmaiden, as in Russia and China. Elsewhere, political rulers show strong resentment for the liberation theology of some Catholic priests in poorer countries. Yet others repress religions that get involved in racial matters. Even in so-called liberal countries, some politicians resent clerical meddling in politics and social issues.

When we study the history of the worldwide empire of religion, we can easily see why God. The Supreme Judge has a basis for the execution of Babylon the Great. “Yes, in her was found the blood of prophets and of holy ones and of all those who have been slaughtered on the earth.” (Revelation 18:24) False religion’s complicity in regional and world wars has made her guilty in God’s sight for the blood of “all those who have been slaughtered on the earth.”
According to the Biblical indictment, Babylon the Great has been judged worthy of destruction by reason of her historical record of spiritual fornication with world rulers, her bloodguilt in wars, and her spiritistic practices. Therefore, God has judicially determined that Babylon the Great must be destroyed.—Revelation 18:3, 23, 24.

It remains to be seen just what further issues will provoke the political elements worldwide to act against false religion. But one thing is certain—the execution of Babylon the Great by these elements will be not only their will but also the will of God. Revelation 17:17 states: “God put it into their hearts to carry out his thought, even to carry out their one thought by giving their kingdom to the wild beast, until the words of God will have been accomplished.”—Also see Jeremiah 51:12, 13. In the Lord's prayer we say (in part)...thy kingdom come. It's only by this kingdom that peace worldwide can be established since no man has been able to do this.

Answer 2

No, they will continue to hunt down violent extremists. Just because someone is Muslim, Catholic, Jewish etc.. does not mean they are all violent. (or pedophiles,etc)

I think the UN may become the last world power, especially with minority groups becoming so large here in the United States, the L.A. riots, and such a huge population of Bush haters, etc.. then hopefully they will declare peace and security after bringing a short end to war. Resulting in instant destruction of man's governments. Based on certain Christian beliefs and bible prophecies

Answer 3

I do not think that the UN would be able to legislate away religion in the name of peace. In fact, I think that would end up being counter-productive as many people would violently oppose further curtailment of their beliefs.

What I would like to see is more TALK about religion by the peoples of the world and less SHOOTING. However, as there are religious bigots and extremists all around the world, I see that as unlikely.

Answer 4

The way to peace is not through war. The way to peace is along some path up through Ethics, Proverbs, Wisdom literature, Philosophy, Culture Studies, Law, Social Studies, Political Studies, and History. All of those fields must be taken into account but the most essential is Philosophy and Ethics which holds all of those others together like glue.

Does it make any sense to do away with Philosophy? Does it make any sense to do away with Law? Then how do you propose to do away with Religion?

Answer 5

For those who says it won't happen.

Based on the book of Revelations, it says that the Kings of the World would do this themselves. Its not going to start on their own, but God himself is going to put it into their hearts for this to actually happen.

Revelation 17

12 "The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but who for one hour will receive authority as kings along with the beast.

13 They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast.

14 They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers."

**As you can see, the kings of the earth give the power to the wild beast. But further in the future, they will turn against the lamb and religion altogether.

15 Then the angel said to me, "The waters you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages.

18 The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth."

**Again, the woman (false religion) rules over the city. But later, they will turn against her


16 The beast and the ten horns you saw will hate the prostitute. They will bring her to ruin and leave her naked; they will eat her flesh and burn her with fire.

**How will this happen?

17 For God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose by agreeing to give the beast their power to rule, until God's words are fulfilled.

**Note that it says "God has put it into their hearts to accomplish his purpose."

The UN is talked about in the book of Revelations as being the 8th King. How is this so?

10 They are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come;

** FIVE Have fallen (Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo Persia Greece) one is (Rome), the other has yet to come (Anglo America).

11 The beast who once was, and now is not, is an eighth king. He belongs to the seven and is going to his destruction.

**Anglo-America became the world powers of thew world shortly after the first world war. As for the United Nations, they are considered the 8th king because they sprung from the 7th King, which is Anglo America.

** I can go into further but It will take a lot of time. Mountains and Kings represented high government rulers..

OnTheWatch - lol Yes. I tried to get everything in at once, but its pretty hard.

Answer 6

No way, they don't have the power to do so or the popularity needed to get nations to agree to such a thing. Religion and government should be kept separate.

*Edit: Okay, I'm not even religious, but how can you overthrow a religion? Religion is more or less spiritual and can't be physically overthrown.*

Answer 7

That would only cause more conflict. Even though Religion accounts for much of the violence of today and the past, trying to forcefully abolish it would only lead to more war. If it keeps the world stable let them keep their religion. Not all of them are bad and violent.

Answer 8

How is the UN going to do that? I'm so tired of this irrational paranoia about the UN.

No, I don't think it'll happen. They don't have that kind of power and nothing would make the human mindset cling to religion more than some sort of totalitarian decree forbidding religion.

Answer 9

UN can't do anything right much less overthrow world religion. But personally, I believe that the world will be better off without religion. allow individual spirituality but no organized religion. Historically, religion has always been the caused of wars.

Answer 10

The UN isn't capable of a good group fart, let alone anything that might actually change the world. I mean they might try, but they can't deal with two bit dictators. What makes you think they would even consider going against someone with the power of the Pope?
