Beneath all differences of doctrine or discipline there exists a fundamental agreement as to the simple, absolute essentials in religion.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The essence of all religions is one. Only their approaches are different.
Various religious systems have been given to humanity at different times, each suited to meet the spiritual needs of the people among whom it was promulgated, and, coming from the same divine source: - God, all religions exhibit similar fundamentals or first principles.
In my opinion, there is one singular problem with religions in general: they are exclusive. To me, this exclusivity is not right.
Religion is not only a part of education, an element of humanity, but the center of everything else, always the first and the ultimate, the absolutely original.
Religion and modernity are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
All religions develop, become exclusive, become divisive and quarrelsome.
Compare Scripture with Scripture. False doctrines, like false witnesses, agree not among themselves.
I am a believer in the fundamental doctrines of Christianity.
I think all religions can agree on certain definitions of God and concepts of God, like God being the god of love, the great 'I am' energy.
My premise is that the popular aphorism that 'all religions are fundamentally the same and only superficially different' simply is not true. It is more correct to say that all religions are, at best, superficially similar but fundamentally different.
