But the Bible and Torah are both the word of God, interpreted by different people and the 10 commandments are simplified in the Jewish faith "Harm no one".
And the Catholic concept of purgatory and reliving your sins corresponds with the middle eastern concept of being born over until you reach enlightenment.. in both you have to do it until you get it right...
And if man would only learn to look for the similarities instead of the differences we really could achieve one world some day.
I'm just saying.....
1: Bible and Torah are both inspired words of God. I don't believe they can both be true...
2: The 10 Commandments have two sides: There is only one true God, and Love your neighbour as your neighbour would want to be loved.
3: Purgatory is not Christian, though. AFAIK Catholics have purgatory while other denominations have eternal life in heaven. If purgatory is real then I feel bad for those that go there because you could never outlive your sins and leave purgatory to end up in heaven. Same for reincarnation.
4: Man is full of sin and will never unite as one. The closest you could ever get to uniting people is massive genocide until only one race and religion survives, and that would be awful on many levels. The tower of Babel is the last known time that humans were united as one, and if we learn from this we'll come to see that man can never truly come together for good.
Just my views. Please tear them apart, because I like to see other people's views.
Same fundamentals. Different practices. Simple. In order to unify it as one world as MsRowdy said above is to find a general order of practices and principles that everyone can abide by.
The fundamentals are not the same. Maybe only in the most generic way, but as soon as you look at things slightly deeper the differences are immediate. As I said above, man will never come together under any set of practices and principles because we are corrupt and naturally different.
