Chap. 10 - The Tower of Babel{PATRIARHS AND PROPHETS, p. 119}
God had directed men to dispersethroughout the earth, to replenish andsubdue it; but these Babel buildersdetermined to keep their community united
in one body, and to found a monarchy thatshould eventually embrace the whole earth.Thus their city would become the metropolisof a universal empire;

The magnificent tower, reaching to theheavens, was intended to stand as amonument of the power and wisdom of its builders, perpetuating their fame tothe latest generations. The dwellers onthe plain of Shinar disbelieved God'scovenant that He would not again bring a
flood upon the earth. Many of themdenied the existence of God andattributed the Flood to the operation of natural causes. Others believed in aSupreme Being, and that it was He whohad destroyed the antediluvian world;

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

(Cited from Global Peace and therise of Antichrist p.95, Dave Hunt).
To change the system one must
change peoples values and their thinking. Something must beintroduced that would bring a newparadigm. Something that would affectnot a few, but many at the same time.For new ideas to replace the old onesone, we must disregard the old andonly embrace the new. We have cometo identify this by what they call it, the
paradigm shift.

"Unity of the Churches: An ActualPossibility, " published in 1983.
THE ECUMENICAL PLAN
Thesis IBuild a Community of Faith"The fundamental truths of Christianity, asthey are expressed in Holy Scripture, in theApostles' Creed, and in that of Nicaea andConstantinople are binding on all partner churches of the one Church to be. . .The oneChurch to be is a possibility only if it is acommunity of faith. . .the individual receiveshis faith by way of the community of faithand of the believers; and . . .the individualcomes to faith by joining this antecedentcommunity. . .

P ROFESSORS: K A R L R A HNER &HEINRICH FRIES
Thesis II Individual Dogma
"Beyond that (accepting the creed), arealistic principle of faith should apply:Nothing may be rejected decisively andconfessionally in one partner church whichis binding dogma in another partner church. P. 25
"As an individual, one becomes ever moreimpotent; one has to depend more and moreon the knowledge of others, which one canno longer assimilate or check oneself. . .except among the few in the RomanCongregation of the Faith "
p. 28-29

THESIS III
"In this one Church of Jesus, composed of the uniting churches, there are regionalpartner churches which can, to large extent,maintain their existing structures. " p. 43
On the basis of their theological expertiseand their religious conscience, the
representatives of this ecclesiasticalleadership can decide in favor of churchunity, and can also work with sufficient zealamong the church members to gain their understanding for this decision. " p. 54

Finally Thesis IV
"All partner churches acknowledge themeaning and right of the Petrine service of
the Roman pope to be the concreteguarantor of the unity of the church in truthand love " p. 59"But there has been for years, in churchesof the Protestant faith, a strong and growingsentiment in favor of a union based uponcommon points of doctrine. To secure sucha union, the discussion of subjects uponwhich all were not agreedhowever important they might be from a Biblestandpointmustbe waived

And what do we see just ahead?Another general council! A world'sconvention! Evangelical alliance, anduniversal creed! " When this shall be
gained, then, in the effort to securecomplete uniformity, it will be only astep to the resort to force.{GC, p. 444}

UNANIMITY + UNIFORMITY + UNITY= ECUMENISM
PA R L IAM ENT OF WOR LD RE L IGIONSOur Mission
The Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions was created to cultivateharmony among the world's religious and spiritual communities and fostertheir engagement with the world and its guiding institutions in order to achievea just, peaceful and sustainable world.
To accomplish this, we invite individuals and communities who are equallyinvested in attaining this g oal.
Our VisionThe vision of the Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions is of a just,peaceful and sustainable world in which:
y Religious and spiritual communities live in harmony and contribute to abetter world from their riches of wisdom and compassion
y Religious and c ultural fears and hatreds are replaced with understandingand respect
y People everywhere come to know and care for their neighborsy The richness of human and religious diversity is woven into the fabric of
communal, civil, societal and global lifey The world's most powerful and influential i nstitutions move beyond
narrow self-interest to realize c ommon goody The Earth and all life are cherished, protected, healed and restoredy A ll people commit to living out their highest values and aspirations.
Our A pproach
The Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions seeks to promoteinterreligious harmony, rather than unity. The problem with seeking unityamong religions is the risk of loss of the unique and precious c haracter of eachindividual religious and spiritual tradition; this understanding is key to ourframework.
Interreligious harmony, on the other hand, is an attainable and highly desirablegoal. Such an approach respects, and is enriched by, the particularities of eachtradition. Moreover, within each tradition are the resources (philosophical,theological and spiritual teachings and perspec tives) that enable each to enterinto respectful, appreciative and c ooperative relationships with persons andcommunities of other traditions.
