Faith Foundation And Globalization

“The vision and values of the Tony Blair Faith Foundation are desperately needed today when every major issue in our world is influenced for good or harm by faith factors. It would be foolish to ignore how religious conviction impacts personal and national identity, poverty and education, extremism and reconciliation, disease and development, peace and progress. In any effort to help people learn to live and work together, we must engage the vast networks, resources, wisdom, and influence of the faith communities. My friends, Tony Blair is uniquely prepared with the gifts of temperament, knowledge, experience, leadership, and global respect essential for a task this great. I honestly don’t know of anyone better suited for this challenge. It’s why I agreed to serve on the Advisory Board. The Tony Blair Faith Foundation’s potential for doing good is staggering.”

“InterFaith” What it is & What it isn’t…

According to Faith Foundation’s website, written by Ian Linden the director of Faiths Act, their explanation is more beautifully packaged evil…

“The irony is that interfaith dialogue, in the experience of most people who undertake it, tends to increase and deepen the understanding of a person’s own faith rather than dilute it. New insights are gained and dimensions that had been unnoticed come into prominence. Another faith can act as a mirror reflecting things that it had not been possible to glimpse before. There are large pictures of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the streets of the beautiful Iranian city of Isfahan, reflecting her veneration in the Shi’a Muslim tradition. But I doubt if any Christian seeing them feels inclined to renounce a distinctive faith in Christianity, or to chuck their “faith in a doctrinal melting pot.” The immediate inclination is more likely a questioning: do they really believe the same as me, what different beliefs are in play here beneath the similarity and why? And what do I believe?”

They’re attempting to qwell the believer’s anxieties about ‘worshipping’ false idols by saying ‘We’re not asking you to believe as we do, but rather consider the similarites, and then ask yourself ‘what do I believe?’” Well that’s a bunch of doublespeak, and that’s what these people are especially good at. Keep in mind There is a political backing to all of this. This mission is not to dismantle your faith (just yet) but to get you to an ‘understanding.’ I could spend months trying to explain this but I’m a very simple person and I break things down into their simplest terms…let’s consider this One instant and it’s the Original Lie…

 

In Genesis 3 the devil disguised himself as a serpent and spoke to Eve in the garden. Do you remember what Satan asked Eve?

“Indeed, has God said, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden’?” (Genesis 3:1b)

Eve knew what God had said regarding the garden, she recited to Satan (first mistake-don’t have conversations with Satan)

“From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat;  ³but from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat from it or touch it, or you will die.’” (Genesis 3:2b-3)

And here’s the kicker…the One Giant Leap for Satan one small step for mankind…

“The serpent said to the woman, “You surely will not die!” (Genesis 3:4)

 

This same lie, “You surely will not die, if you simply open your mind and extend your hand to any and all faiths and religions for the sake of Peace!” Really? Really! Then truly you don’t know the Awesome and Powerful Righteous and Just, Holy God of Israel.

Don’t be deceived brethren. Good is now evil, and Evil is now Good, and you must know the word of God in order to discern which is which, because you (and I) can be deceived if we are not careful.
