    It's Time for More Narrow-Minded Preachers to Arise - Bert Farias

    If you believe in pluralism, you believe that people of all races, classes, religions and backgrounds should be able to get along on equal footing in society. That's a good thing. But when it involves religion, it is tragic for the human race. Allow me to explain.

    Pluralism obviously comes from the word plural, meaning "more than one."

    Someone who believes in pluralism believes that there are many different ways to live, and thinks that government and society should be structured in such a way as to encourage and appreciate people's differences and allowing everyone to co-exist and get along. I have no issues with that at all. It sure beats the other extreme opposite, which is totalitarianism, when one supreme dictator makes all the decisions, and no one can oppose him without serious consequences. We've just had the closest to an American dictator of anyone we've ever had in the White House who is on his way out.

    Pluralism is not dangerous, but it is the religious kind that is detrimental to humanity. Religious pluralism generally refers to the belief in two or more religious world views as being equally valid and acceptable. More than mere tolerance, religious pluralism accepts multiple paths to God or gods as a possibility and is usually contrasted with "exclusivism," the idea that there is only one true religion or way to know God.

    Even though this belief has been in existence for centuries of time it has gained traction and momentum in the latter half of the 20th century in the West—both in Europe and America. Specifically, it would apply to the idea of the religious ecumenical movement (religion working together as one) and the recently popularized interfaith movement that has led to the increased acceptance of religious pluralism in popular culture.

    Studies have even shown that significant numbers of professing Christians now believe that there is more than one way to heaven...

    Nothing surprising about this at all.

    1 Timothy 4:1
    Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

    "depart from the faith" is clearly speaking of those that were once right with the Lord and have departed.
