What’s Wrong With Ecumenism?

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine,
but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears,
they will heap up for themselves teachers,
and they will turn their ears AWAY FROM THE TRUTH,
and be turned aside to fables.”
2nd Timothy 4:3-4
The Bible foretells that in the last days there will come a global government and a global religion. My point here is to explain HOW ecumenism is setting the stage for the last-days global religion, which the Bible calls the “harlot.”
What is a harlot?
A harlot is a woman who is intimate with any man anywhere. She gives herself to all.
The apostate church of the last days is going to be the religion that joins all faiths together under the banner of tolerance and mutual acceptance. “Let’s focus on what we have in common,” the harlot will say, “and just be tolerant on the points on which we disagree.”
That sounds good, doesn’t it? Warm and fuzzy good. But it’s harlotry.
There are multitudes of religions upon this poor earth, but most of them have a lot in common. The top-most characteristic shared by all is charity, and most have a well-defined system of morality. On these points they will all agree.
But there is one, namely Christianity, which differs from them all in that Jesus Christ says plainly that he didn’t come to impose religious practices on his follwers, he came to bear the judgment due on man’s sins, to die in the place of every believer, of anyone who will receive him and surrender their lives to him. He is the only one who can make this claim. Mohammed didn’t die for anyone. Joseph Smith didn’t die for anyone. Buddha didn’t die for anyone. Jesus, and he alone came to die to bear the judgment for man’s sins. The Bible clearly teaches that without that atonement man is lost. All who follow the other religions – are lost. Don’t become angry with me for saying such a radical thing – I’m only repeating what Jesus Christ said. Read the Gospel of John, chapter 3. Jesus said “you must be born again,” and no other religion on earth makes this claim. They can’t.
Jesus made many claims. Foremost among them is his declaration that there is NO OTHER WAY to the Father except through him:
“I AM the way, the truth, and the life.
NO ONE comes to the Father EXCEPT through me.”
John 14:6
That means you cannot approach God through Mohammed, or through anyone other than Jesus, including Mary the mother of Jesus, or through anyone “saintly” enough to be canonized by the Roman Catholic church. Jesus’s claims are exclusionary and if one follows Jesus he must forsake all others. Believers in Jesus are called by the Scriptures “the Bride of Christ.” To try to approach God any other way is HARLOTRY.
And that’s the point. Ecumenism is trying to unite people of different faiths under one umbrella, and it is foretold that it’s going to succeed in the last days global religion – but that it will be a harlot religion.
“Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ?
Shall I then take the members of Christ
and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not!”
1st Corinthians 6:15
“Do not be UNEQUALLY YOKED TOGETHER with unbelievers.
For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness?
And what communion has light with darkness?”
2nd Corinthians 6:14
You might say, “well they aren’t unbelievers.” No, it’s worse than that. They believe …in other gods.
For years we couldn’t imagine the world’s religions coming together. Their doctrines were too different, and it seemed that this Bible prediction was impossible to come about. But what is happening before our eyes is that they are setting aside their doctrines for the sake of “unity.”
What are some of these doctrines?
Islam believes in Jesus – at least that’s what they’ll tell you. They believe he is going to come back with the Islamic “mahdi” which is Islam’s version of the Messiah, and that he is going to bring all of the world together under the banner of Islam. But another part they WON’T tell you, is that he is going to then destroy all the Jews and Christians. And then, ready for this? – Jesus will die and be buried next to Mohammed. Islam says Jesus was a prophet. But they do not believe in what that “prophet” said. On the Dome of the Rock mosque on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is written: “God has no son.” This is blasphemously written on the holiest site in the Biblical Scriptures.
“He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.
Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either;
he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.”
1st John 2:22-23
They won’t tell you that. They know that if they tell you they believe in Jesus, that’s all most will need to hear in order to accept them.
The Mormons will tell you they believe in Jesus, too. But what they won’t tell you is that they believe that he is a created being, and that his birth was the result of physical sex between God and a goddess wife who came from another world. They believe that God wasn’t always God, but that he was a being from a planet in a star system called Kolob who evolved to becoming a god. You can bet they won’t be telling you that.They believe that Jesus and Satan are brothers and that God liked Jesus’s plan best so Satan rebelled. They believe that God and his goddess produce spirit-offspring in heaven who then come and inhabit bodies on earth. They won’t tell you these things until they’ve hooked you, which they do by their endearing characteristics of clean living, morality, and winsome ways. How could they be so grossly wrong? people would ask. Well if it’s ok to you, then you will probably be one who will be part of the last days ecumenical harlot religion.
The pope has met with false teachers in the church as well, notably Kenneth Copeland who says Martin Luther erred when he protested against the Catholic church and that it’s time to stop protesting, calling all protestants to embrace Rome. He believes one can speak whatever he wants God to do for him, and it will happen. He represents the heretical “prosperity gospel,” whose doctrines are total heresy, and he kisses the Catholic pope.
Of course there are many, many more. But under the gentle and loving persuasion of the pope of Rome, they will all be brought together in a unity never before seen upon the earth, laying aside their doctrines for the sake of unity. The harlot religion. It’s in the making right now.
And that’s what’s wrong with ecumenism.
