FAITH MELTING POT: EPISCOPAL BISHOP SAYS IT’LL WORK. NOT.
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
Episcopal Bishop William Swing of San Francisco told press that he’s ready to form the one world religion. Thus far, it’s not working all that well.
In fact, it very well could be that Swing could swing off the planet through the final exit door before the one world religion takes off. Nevertheless, since he’s a theological liberal given to making the impossible real, he’ll keep moving along.
Those who are into the Bible know that Swing is a false prophet. False prophets are not honored by the Lord God. They are indeed megaphones of the devil, given to evil dressed up in nice religious garb, coming under the divine judgment of condemnation.
One would have thought that Swing would have learned all about false prophets while studying in seminary; but obviously he didn’t. On the other hand, no doubt the seminary from which he graduated taught that all such prohibitions in the Old Testament in particular are mythological. Therefore, they are not to be taken seriously; in other words, they’re basically on the level of a bad joke.
So it is that Swing goes into action with fellow theological liberals. Of course, when approaching evangelicals and devout Roman Catholics, for instance, Swing just doesn’t make it. In fact, the wall rises up to meet him.
With that, Swing concludes that when his one world religion gets into social causes that attract Catholics and Protestant evangelicals he might have a better chance of winning them over.
Think again, Swing.
Evangelicals and orthodox Catholics are not stupid. They know their dogmas. They know their doctrines. They don’t bend. And when it comes to humanitarian outreach, these groupings already have their own outreach endeavors working quite well worldwide.
According to Don Lattin of the San Francisco Chronicle, “Swing, the spiritual leader of the Episcopal Diocese of California, publicly announced his United Religions dream in June 1995 at a worship service at Grace Cathedral marking the 50th anniversary of the United Nations.
“Since then, he and a growing global band of interfaith activists have been laying the foundations for the organization. Early in the process, Swing got a less-than-enthusiastic response from many religious leaders.”
Nevertheless, as with most theological liberals, they keep on keeping on, even when bucking the very God they say they represent. Eventually, they come to the Judgment Seat of Christ when they learn the folly of their ways.
In the meantime, they continue marketing folly in the name of “faith.”
