One World Religion?

I came across this as a meme on Facebook but it appears to maybe be true? Anyone hear anything about this? Mark June?

Abrahamic Family House in Abu Dhabi to open in 2022

The cultural landmark in the UAE capital, which includes a synagogue, a church and a mosque, is meant to be a beacon of understanding and peaceful coexistence, inspired by the Document on Human Fraternity.

The Abrahamic Family House, which encloses a synagogue, a church and a mosque in a single complex, and which is scheduled to be inaugurated in 2022, is 20 percent complete, the Higher Committee of Human Fraternity (HCHF) said in a statement on Tuesday. The Committee, which is also supervising the project , said it is inspired by the 2019 Document on Human Fraternity. Constructed on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, the project is closely followed by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam Ahmed el-Tayeb of al-Azhar, who endorsed the design, the HCHF said.

The Abrahamic Family House derives its name from the Old Testament biblical figure, Abraham, who is recognized and greatly revered by Jews, Christians and Muslims.



Shared values
The Abrahamic Family House’s design, by architect Sir David Adjaye, captures. the values shared by Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, through three main buildings, including a mosque, a church, and a synagogue in one place. “As such, the complex innovatively recounts the history and builds bridges between human civilizations and heavenly messages.”


The names of the three separate iconic houses of worship in the Abrahamic Family House complex are officially unveiled as “Imam AlTayeb Mosque,” “St. Francis Church,” and “Moses Ben Maimon Synagogue”. Moses ben Maimon was a prolific and influential Sephardic Jewish philosopher of the Middle Ages.

Interfaith harmonious coexistence
Besides the 3 places of worship, the site includes a cultural center that aims to encourage people to exemplify human fraternity and solidarity within a community that cherishes the values of mutual respect and peaceful coexistence, while the unique character of each faith is preserved.


The design of the Abrahamic Family House was first unveiled by Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, at a global gathering in New York in 2019, during the 2nd meeting of the HCHF. IT said the design was also presented to Pope Francis and the Grand Imam during a meeting with them in November that year.


1st anniversary of Document on Human Fraternity
“The Abrahamic Family House epitomizes interfaith harmonious coexistence and preserves the unique character of each religion,” said Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, Chairman of the Department of Culture Abu Dhabi and an HCHF member. He said, “It personifies Abu Dhabi’s vision for human fraternity and embeds coexistence into the already diverse cultural fabric of the UAE. Overseeing the development of this iconic project is inspiring and reflective of the UAE efforts in realizing the values of the Document on Human Fraternity and fostering its lofty principles.”

The Document on Human Fraternity
He explained that the names of the three houses of worship recognize the work of the Grand Imam, Pope Francis and Moses Ben Maimon, and “harnesses their teachings to forge a message of goodwill for future generations around the world”.

The "Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together", simply called the Document on Human Fraternity, was signed on February 4, 2019, by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam during the Pope’s visit to Abu Dhabi.

Cultural landmark
In the spirit of this Document, the Abrahamic Family House complex will welcome all visitors wishing to worship, learn and engage in dialogue. In addition, it will offer a variety of daily programmes and activities and will host international conferences and world summits that feature harmonious coexistence within communities. “As a place for learning, dialogue and worship,” the HCHF said, “the Abrahamic Family House will be a cultural landmark and an inspiring global symbol that epitomizes the shared values of harmonious coexistence and understanding among the three Abrahamic faiths of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.”

The iconic geometric architecture of three cubes, representing the separate places of worship, evokes the unified commonality and mutual coexistence between the three religions. At the same time, the design reflects traditional architecture while retaining the individual traits of each of the three faiths.

The supervisors of the project said that during the design phases of the houses of worship, members of religious communities worldwide have been engaged and consulted to ensure consistency with and adherence to the respective religion’s requirements and teachings.

On completion, the complex of the Abrahamic Family House will offer the followers of the respective faiths enough spaces for “real peace of mind and soul within an atmosphere in which a spirit of intimacy prevails”. The HCHF said, “Each aspect of the design is brought to life through the architectural features and unique constructional details of the facades, the external and internal views, the columns, and the windows and vaults that reflect the unique characteristics of each of the three Abrahamic faiths.”

I can't speak for Mark, but I bet this is one thing we can agree on....Bad Idea!

What could go wrong worshipping Abraham?
















lol

Oh Lord.....here we go again!! Paul needs to add another no-no- to the list of banned topics.

it might help

the Jews are the sons of Abraham and Sara the Muslims are the sons of Abraham and Hagar

Ishmael and Isaiah half brothers

this is nothing new


Abu Dhabi his realized they prosper when they don't kill each other

if they can convince more people in the middle east primarily Muslims that they can live in peace then they might see more peace.

Or you could have just not clicked on it. I know, that's just too hard.

Oh no! This would just be waaaayyy too simplistic. The three religions evolved from Abraham, that all believe in a heaven or $ell or afterlife, just different ways to get to either one. Wow would some common discussions and dialogue really add to the UE of the world as millions of pastors, clerics and rabbis would be out of work, especially those on the extreme edges of all three regions. Probably far too many killed in the name of God to date for any major widespread forgiveness to occur. I am one who does not believe that inclusion waters down scripture, it helps me really know what and why I believe as I do while accepting others for their beliefs.

Wahhhhh!!

Kind of what I thought. You must be a democrat. I don't like it! Ban it! Ban it!

Angela,
I am familiar with this project, although not at deep level. Two students here are from that area and I had heard about the Abrahamic project a while back.
Peace is always wonderful of course.
While these faiths claim Abrahamic heritage, Jews, Muslims, and Christians worship differently because each has a different God.
That matters in a world more and more pluralistic.
Christianity is exclusive because Jesus' New Covenant makes it so.

If people can worship among one another, side by side, great. I talk with muslims, spiritists, mostly Messianic Jews, atheists, agnostics, wiccans and dozens more every week.
Scripture is prophetic amidst all of it and we do well to heed the Apostle who saw Jesus personally;

Paul told Timothy in 2 Timothy 4:1-5;
I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom:
preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires,
and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths,
But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

I could go a bit deeper, but that's about the jest of it.
Other religions are offended by the God of the Bible's Truth so I predict it'll fall apart.... if it doesn't...... we're closer then we realize to the end of the End Times.

Exactly what came to my mind.

I wouldnt go there,some religious nutbar will blow it up.

Hmph....

But then folks will have to find new reasons to fight wars over as this would take away the reason for 90% of them.

Exactly. Like, he freed the slaves and stuff, right?

Only part of the world is predominantly one of the Abrahamic religions. I doubt Buddhists Hindus etc want to convert. The Abrahams will likely keep hating and killing one another for a long time

There are plenty of those types of places in the US already that have a church, mosque, and synagogue under one roof. There's one in Omaha called the trip faith initiative.

Well, I suppose it's a nice gesture, if you could trust the originators motives. I don't.

However, it seems a little pointless. What will be the theology of the "Christian Church" ? Most likely some watered down, politically correct version I'll bet.

Every book in the NT is written to believers and every writer warns of false prophets and teachers. Do we think it's not an important prescriptive measure with all the NT authors writing about it?
Of course it is.

So how should believers sift through the noise? It's fairly simple.
Jesus, to Whom all power on heaven and on earth was given after his death, burial, and resurrection (Matt 28:18)... since His death effectually began the New Covenant (Testament), is the Truth,
and Jesus commissioned Apostles to spread the Gospel to Judea, Samaria, and the nations, and so those men began.

The One, Holy, Catholic (universal), Apostolic church, has nothing to do with other gods and goddesses, and false teachers. At all.
The heretics will always try to poison the gourd soup until Jesus returns so we don't worship with others who have poisonous gourds. Period.

So when you contemplate various religions to worship under one roof, it sounds great to those contemplating their own new Babel, and the world will praise them of course,
But it's all tinder according to Holy Scripture, headed for the fire.
The Gospel Truth is exclusionary.
The world is not because sin loves a pat-on-the-back.

Mark

Muslims come from the (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) son of Abraham. A curse and blight for a lack of faith.
Abraham and Sara thought Sara was too old to provide the son that god told them she'd bare. So they took on the younger Hagar to fill in that role. i.e. a lack of faith.

Except muhammed was born about 570AD. And muhammed invented Islam by taking stuff from other faiths, making up more stuff, than claiming to be a prophet. Just like Constantine he began uniting people of different beliefs under a common one.

^^^^^^^
Exactly, for political/power purposes.
That's what I was trying to point out earlier on a similar thread about an NPR interview with a Muslim intellectual who stated that Islam is a political ideology and not religious.
