Answer 1

My goal is to understand what the other person is actually trying to say. Stated another way: Don't assume that you know their position and just keep repeating your position.

Will Religion Bring World Peace?

FROM August 28 to August 31, 2000, more than 500 representatives from 73 countries converged on New York City. They met together at the United Nations for “The Millennium World Peace Summit of Religious and Spiritual Leaders.” The leaders—many clad in turbans, saffron-colored robes, feather headdresses, or long black cloaks—represented a multitude of faiths. Among these were Baha’i, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism, Shinto, Sikhism, Taoism, Zoroastrianism, and religions of Christendom.

The delegates met at the United Nations for the first two days of the four-day conference. However, the conference was not organized or funded by the United Nations but by various foundations. Nevertheless, both UN and religious leaders spoke of the importance of working together to bring an end to poverty, racism, environmental problems, war, and weapons of mass destruction.

The delegates signed a document entitled “Commitment to Global Peace.” While acknowledging that violence and war are “sometimes perpetrated in the name of religion,” the document declared that the signers would “collaborate with the United Nations . . . in the pursuit of peace.” There were, however, no specific resolutions indicating how this might be done.

On the second day, Bawa Jain, the secretary-general of the summit, concluded his opening remarks by explaining that some years earlier he had noticed a certain painting at the United Nations. The painting depicted a man taller than the United Nations Secretariat building. He was knocking on the building as if it were a door. Below the picture was the caption: “Prince of Peace.” Mr. Jain said: “[The picture] had a deep effect on me the moment I saw it. I asked different people what [it] meant. I think today I have the answer. The gathering of you all here, the spiritual and religious leaders of the world, demonstrates to me that [this] is the prince of peace knocking on the door of the United Nations.”

The Bible presents a different view. It shows that the Prince of Peace is Jesus Christ. He will bring global peace, not through the efforts of this world’s political or religious leaders, but by means of God’s Kingdom. It is this Kingdom—God’s heavenly government—that will successfully unite obedient mankind and cause God’s will to be done on earth.—Isaiah 9:6; Matthew 6:9, 10.

Answer 3

It all begins with a smile. I try to work harmoniously with everyone I meet. I'm Christian but I embrace Muslims and Jew alike. The biggest contention between these three faiths isn't religious but political on the global scale. The common Christian, Jew or Muslim much prefer to live in peace with each other. I see it everyday and at work. I live in a community with such a diverse mix. But this includes everyone not just these three groups. We have the chance every day of our lives to make the world a better place its a willing choice I make to do so. We all have different beliefs but we are not so different. We have chosen different paths as well but our destination to stand before God is the same.

Answer 4

We all are going to have to work together keep the world together. Revelation is not saying we have to have an armageddon. All prophecy is if. If we keep on the same way and don't come together. I see science now getting closer and closer to confirming the bible. For instance they say the mind we use, is a monkey on the back of a tiger, the subconscious. In religion our mind is into our animal nature and the tiger is the spirit, the helper. The mind that connects to the universe and God and is aware of the life and spirit within us. It speaks to us through the Intuition, a still small voice, even the conscience and we don't listen. When we follow Jesus' simply command, love one another, forgive and not to judge, we connect with the spirit and it "leads us into all truth, even the deep things of God."

We can all connected with God. It is the time for the fulfillment of end time prophecy such as, Jer 31:34 "No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more." and, Joel 2:28,29 "And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days." We may be hopeful at what God can do and be gentler on our 'brothers' as, in fact, we are all his progeny. He deeply loves each one of us, secular or not.

Answer 5

Many religion's can teach what they will, your faith in god comes straight from your heart, what you believe in, I am Catholic I love the parrish I am in, but I also do not agree what a lot of things they do, so I think beyond all that and look at it as this is my place of worship, I feel comfortable here, I don't have to agree with everything, I just need to believe that there is something more out there..

Answer 6

I think one important thing to realize and accept (goal?) is that you may not make everybody understand and believe what you do and that is ok. I know you may want everyone to understand and accept the love of Christ but that willnot always happen or maybe you're just one to plant the seed but you won't see the fruit. I also think its good to have the thought that if you are going to discuss religion with others of a different faith, don't get pompous and tear down their faith. Its ok to ask questions about what you don't understand and whatnot but to be disrespectful to what they believe will tear down any chance of a relationship you had with them.
Another goal is to pray for those who don't know Christ. Sometimes I forget to pray for them and just don't think about it. Its important to pray for them and that maybe they will come to know God. Also, one goal of mine it to recognize that everybody will not show the same respect for my God as i would to their beliefs and to not be angry and defensive when people do that because it is not beneficial for me or for showing the love of christ to them.

Answer 7

My goal is to never go to church for the rest of my life. So far I haven't went in 4-6 years! I am pretty happy without it. Honestly!

Answer 8

Well...I currently work with many people of different cultures and religions on daily basis. In the business that I am in we are all trained to be very aware of different religious customs of different countries because of the type of screening that we perform at our countries airports. We have to be very well versed in what we do because we/I do not want to offend anyone because of religious beliefs and/or preferences. I strongly believe that it is each person choice to believe how they choose to and it is "not" my place to judge anyone at anytime.

Answer 9
