3. THE UNIFICATION OF RELIGIONS

1) All Religions are Seeking One Goal

There are many religions in this world. We know that they are hoping for the highest goal and are seeking those goals. This is realized by truthful people. Truthful people gathered together in order to seek a true goal, and in history many religions came into existence. Then, it is not right for there to be several kinds of truth or several kinds of goals of religions. According to the flow of history, even if each religion existed within the realm of a certain time, when we look at religions centered on the future goal of goodness to which they are connected, even if there are many paths of many religions, we can definitely conclude that they must all pass through one way to reach the world of the one purpose.

In Christianity there are many denominations. Buddhism has many denominations, too. Even looking at the world religions that we know, we can see that there are many denominations spread about. Then what is the purpose for all those denominations to have come into existence? It is certain that each started due to an internal desire to establish in its denomination more realistically its goal or establish what it thought a better goal. Because of that even though there may be factional rivalry between the denominations, that is not causing a setback in the present move forward. It is a rivalry for reformation on a higher level. Even if they can't achieve that, the goal of the two denominations will be in the upper level. If in a big religion, they will certainly be heading towards one of the highest of purposes.

\We know that the goal of a religion, or the center of a religion, the beginning was centered on a god. The god they revere will appear as the god of victory at the very end of the universe. That god, through himself, through his religious order, or through the way introduced in his doctrine or scriptures will without fail bring to a conclusion one world of victory. But there cannot be two gods. There can be only one God. That God is hoping for one goal. He cannot help but be determining one conclusion. (63-13)
