Chap. 10 - The Tower of Babel {PATRIARHS AND PROPHETS, p.
119}
God had directed men to disperse throughout the earth, to replenish and subdue it; but these Babel builders determined to keep their community united in one body, and to found a monarchy that should eventually embrace the whole earth. Thus their city would become the metropolis of a universal empire; …
![Page 9: Babelunity](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062513/554ffeb8b4c90579108b513d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
…The magnificent tower, reaching to the heavens, was intended to stand as a monument of the power and wisdom of its builders, perpetuating their fame to the latest generations. The dwellers on the plain of Shinar disbelieved God's covenant that He would not again bring a flood upon the earth. Many of them denied the existence of God and attributed the Flood to the operation of natural causes. Others believed in a Supreme Being, and that it was He who had destroyed the antediluvian world;…

…One object before them in the erection of the tower was to secure their own safety in case of another deluge. By carrying the structure to a much greater height than was reached by the waters of the Flood, they thought to place themselves beyond all possibility of danger. And as they would be able to ascend to the region of the clouds, they hoped to ascertain the cause of the Flood…

…When the tower had been partially completed, a portion of it was occupied as a dwelling place for the builders; other apartments, splendidly furnished and adorned, were devoted to their idols. {PP, 119}

EXCERPTS FROM THE BOOK: “TOO LONG IN THE SUN”
WILL THE REAL SUN GOD PLEASE STAND UP?
BEL-NIMROD, THAMMUZ, BAAL, MERODACH, SHAMASH, ATTIS, RA, APOLLO, HELIOS, MITHRA: IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE WHAT YOU CALL SATAN AS LONG AS WORSHIP HIM. IF YOU BELIEVE IN MANY gods: NO PROBLEM, JUST MAKE HIM THE CHIEF. IF YOU BELIEVE IN ONE god: NO PROBLEM, JUST ALLOW HIM TO BE MEDIATOR BETWEEN MAN AND GOD AND THE WAY OF SALVATION.

MANY—gods—ONE LEADER
NOTE: BETIS, THE WIFE OF BEL-NIMROD AND MOTHER OF SUPPOSED SON NIN, WAS WORSHIPPED AS THE “MOTHER OF GOD”. THAT CAME BY WAY OF THE REINCARNATION OF BEL-NIMROD AS NIN: MAKING NIN HIS MOTHER’S HUSBAND.

(Cited from Global Peace and the rise of Antichrist p.95,
Dave Hunt).
To change the system one must change people’s values and their thinking. Something must be introduced that would bring a new paradigm. Something that would affect not a few, but many at the same time. For new ideas to replace the old ones one, we must disregard the old and only embrace the new. We have come to identify this by what they call it, “the paradigm shift.”

TWO HURDLES: GOSPEL—LANGUAGES
CONFUSION OF LANGUAGES
1. IT BECAME MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO BUILD AN ALLIANCE.
2. IT MADE THE TASK OF PREACHING THE GOSPEL MUCH MORE HARDER.

JUST AS GOD CALLED ANCIENT ISRAEL TO PROCLAIM HIS MESSAGE OF THE
COMING MESSIAH, TODAY, HE CALLS A PEOPLE TO PROCLAIM THE MESSAGE OF THE MESSIAH WHO HAS COME.
TODAY, THE TOWER OF BABEL IS NOT GEOGRAPHICALLY REMOVED, BUT
UNIVERSALLY UNITED, IN ITS REBELLION AGAINST GOD.

"Unity of the Churches: An Actual Possibility," published
in 1983.
THE ECUMENICAL PLAN
Thesis I—Build a Community of Faith "The fundamental truths of Christianity, as they are expressed in Holy Scripture, in the Apostles' Creed, and in that of Nicaea and Constantinople are binding on all partner churches of the one Church to be. . .The one Church to be is a possibility only if it is a community of faith. . .the individual receives his faith by way of the community of faith and of the believers; and . . .the individual comes to faith by joining this antecedent community. . .
![Page 39: Babelunity](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062513/554ffeb8b4c90579108b513d/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
…The community…assumes primacy over the individual in the realm of Christian faith…of believers and not an isolated individual." p.13
![Page 40: Babelunity](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062513/554ffeb8b4c90579108b513d/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
PROFESSORS: KARL RAHNER & HEINRICH FRIES
Thesis II Individual Dogma
"Beyond that (accepting the creed), a realistic principle of faith should apply: Nothing may be rejected decisively and confessionally in one partner church which is binding dogma in another partner church.” P. 25 "As an individual, one becomes ever more impotent; one has to depend more and more on the knowledge of others, which one can no longer assimilate or check oneself. . . except among the few in the Roman Congregation of the Faith…"
p. 28-29
![Page 41: Babelunity](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062513/554ffeb8b4c90579108b513d/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
THESIS III
"In this one Church of Jesus, composed of the uniting churches, there are regional partner churches which can, to large extent, maintain their existing structures." p. 43
“On the basis of their theological expertise and their religious conscience, the representatives of this ecclesiastical leadership can decide in favor of church unity, and can also work with sufficient zeal among the church members to gain their understanding for this decision." p. 54
![Page 42: Babelunity](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062513/554ffeb8b4c90579108b513d/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Finally Thesis IV
"All partner churches acknowledge the meaning and right of the Petrine service of the Roman pope to be the concrete guarantor of the unity of the church in truth and love" p. 59 "But there has been for years, in churches of the Protestant faith, a strong and growing sentiment in favor of a union based upon common points of doctrine. To secure such a union, the discussion of subjects upon which all were not agreed—however important they might be from a Bible standpoint—must…be waived…

…And what do we see just ahead? Another general council! A world's convention! Evangelical alliance, and universal creed!" When this shall be gained, then, in the effort to secure complete uniformity, it will be only a step to the resort to force.” {GC, p. 444}

UNANIMITY + UNIFORMITY + UNITY = ECUMENISM
PARLIAMENT OF WORLD RELIGIONS Our Mission
The Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions was created to cultivate harmony among the world's religious and spiritual communities and foster their engagement with the world and its guiding institutions in order to achieve a just, peaceful and sustainable world.
To accomplish this, we invite individuals and communities who are equally invested in attaining this goal.
Our Vision
The vision of the Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions is of a just, peaceful and sustainable world in which:
Religious and spiritual communities live in harmony and contribute to a better world from their riches of wisdom and compassion
Religious and cultural fears and hatreds are replaced with understanding and respect
People everywhere come to know and care for their neighbors The richness of human and religious diversity is woven into the fabric of
communal, civil, societal and global life The world's most powerful and influential institutions move beyond
narrow self-interest to realize common good The Earth and all life are cherished, protected, healed and restored All people commit to living out their highest values and aspirations.
Our Approach
The Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions seeks to promote interreligious harmony, rather than unity. The problem with seeking unity among religions is the risk of loss of the unique and precious character of each individual religious and spiritual tradition; this understanding is key to our framework. Interreligious harmony, on the other hand, is an attainable and highly desirable goal. Such an approach respects, and is enriched by, the particularities of each tradition. Moreover, within each tradition are the resources (philosophical, theological and spiritual teachings and perspectives) that enable each to enter into respectful, appreciative and cooperative relationships with persons and communities of other traditions.
