House of One model (Thaler Tamas)
A new symbol of the interfaith movement is planned for Germany:
March 1, 2021
The German government will be constructing a house of worship for all faiths in Berlin, at a site where a church was torn down in East Germany by the Soviet Union while the site was under occupation, following the end of World War II.
The House of One in Berlin, being referred to as “churmosquagogue,” is intended to bring those of all faiths and no faiths together as a sign of coexistence and solidarity …
It will be designed by Berlin-based architects Kuehn Malvezzi, and will include within the structure a synagogue, a church and a mosque – all linked to a central common area. Events and discussions will take place in its yet-to-be constructed large hall.
“The building epitomizes the relationship between the three religions which can be described as a simultaneity of intimacy and foreignness in a spatial constellation,” architects from Kuehn Malvezzi told Archinect. “Each faith will have their own sacred space as a dedicated house of prayer, specific to their respective liturgies.”
“There is no typological model,” they added. “We aspire to develop the design as an intimate and significant expression of the content itself, thus involving the future users intensely in the design process of this novel building typology.”
According to the report, each faith would worship separately but congregate with one another on holidays and special occasions. …
“There are many different ways to God, and each is a good way,” said Andreas Nachama, a rabbi involved with the project, according to the report. https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/house-of-worship-for-christians-jews-muslims-being-built-in-berlin-660560
There is one way to God according to the Bible.
Jesus said:
6 … I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. (John 14:6)
13 Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. (Matthew 7:13-14)
Notice the following from the Apostle Peter:
10 … Jesus Christ of Nazareth … 11 This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ 12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. (Acts 4:10-12)
2 … the way of truth (2 Peter 2:2)
21 … the way of righteousness (2 Peter 2:21)
The New Testament repeatedly speaks of THE WAY (e.g. Acts 24:22)–the expression “different ways” is not found in the Bible (NKJV).
Of course, it is not just Jewish rabbi Nachama who is pushing different ways.
Here is another report about the new building:
March 1, 2021
Chrislam is the perfect end times hybrid for a coming time when hybrid humans and animals will populate this earth. It combines the counterfeit Christianity of Roman Catholicism, Islam and apostate Judaism, as well as incorporating atheists, Buddhists, and the entire pantheon of the New Age. The ‘House of One’ in Berlin is a bookend to the Abrahamic Family House being built in Abu Dhabi. Why Berlin? Because Germany led the charge in WWI, WWII and will be center stage for the soon-coming WWIII. This is Chrislam, the One World Religion of Antichrist. https://www.nowtheendbegins.com/germany-to-begin-construction-on-chrislam-house-of-one-for-one-world-religion-worship-services-that-will-also-include-atheists/
Yes, Germany will be involved–and to a major degree lead, what can be called WWIII (see also Germany in Biblical and Catholic Prophecy).
Vatican News reported the following back in 2019 about another building:
Three buildings, one foundation
September 21, 2019
A church, a synagogue and a mosque will share the same foundation. It will be a landmark in the United Arab Emirates, located on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi. Above all, it will mark a significant transformation in human history. As Msgr. Yoannes Gaid explained, it will turn what has been used in the past as a means of division among peoples, into a point of contact. https://www.vaticannews.va/en/world/news/2019-09/abrahamic-family-house-document-human-fraternity.html
If the foundation was truly the word of God, there would not be three separate buildings.
The Jews, for example, prefer tradition over scripture, which is why they do not accept the New Testament nor do they accept Jesus as the Messiah. But if they would examine the portion of scripture that they do accept, plus certain of their written traditions that they overlook, the logical conclusion is that Jesus is the prophesied Messiah.
Chapter 3 of my free online book, Proof Jesus is the Messiah explains this in more detail.
As far as Islam goes, it claims that Christians and Jews changed the Bible, so it cannot be relied upon. Hence, Islam does not truly have a biblical foundation (see also Differences Between Islam and the Continuing Church of God). Muslims also do not accept New Testament teachings about the divinity of Jesus–for more details, check out chapter six of the free online book: Proof Jesus is the Messiah.
Now, what seems to be happening between the Catholics and Islam is being called Chrislam. And while there has long been a Nigerian version of that, the Vatican has been producing its own version.
The prophet Amos was inspired to write:
3 Can two walk together, unless they are agreed? (Amos 3:3)
The answer to that question is “No.”
While true Christianity and Islam are biblically incompatible, let’s see some statements from the Catechism of the Catholic Church from the Vatican’s official website http://www.vatican.va/archive/ccc_css/archive/catechism/p123a9p3.htm:
841 The Church’s relationship with the Muslims. “The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind’s judge on the last day.”330
842 The Church’s bond with non-Christian religions is in the first place the common origin and end of the human race:
- All nations form but one community. This is so because all stem from the one stock which God created to people the entire earth, and also because all share a common destiny, namely God. His providence, evident goodness, and saving designs extend to all against the day when the elect are gathered together in the holy city. . .331
843 The Catholic Church recognizes in other religions that search, among shadows and images, for the God who is unknown yet near since he gives life and breath and all things and wants all men to be saved. Thus, the Church considers all goodness and truth found in these religions as “a preparation for the Gospel and given by him who enlightens all men that they may at length have life.”332
So it is not just Pope Francis, the Vatican officially claims that the Muslims and Catholics adore the same deity–so whatever foundation they share, we know it is not the Bible. They are NOT working on a building with Jesus the Christ as the foundation–which is what real Christian leaders do (cf. 1 Corinthians 3:9-14).
It is a non-biblical type of ‘Chrislam’ that the Vatican and various others wish to promote.
Here are some comments from Michael Synder about the Abrahamic House and Chrislam:
The Catholic-Muslim Interfaith Council Created By Pope Francis Announces New Chrislam Headquarters Opening In 2022 That Combines A Mosque And Church According To Signed Covenant
The announcement of the Abrahamic Family House, on the Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi, follows a visit by Pope Francis to the UAE in February, the first by a pope to the Arabian Peninsula. …
As far as advancing the end times timeline goes, 2019 has been a banner year for Pope Francis and the coming One World Religion. We told you back in February that the pope has travelled to Abu Dhabi where he met with Sunni Muslim leader Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb. There the two men signed a global peace covenant called the Document On Human Fraternity For World Peace. From that covenant, the Higher Committee of Human Fraternity was created to implement this end times religious peace treaty. Now that committee has announced that there will be a fancy new headquarters for this endeavor. The shiny, new center of global Chrislam opening in 2022.
“Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.” Isaiah 28:15,16 (KJV)
The end times are unfolding before our very eyes, people, things are speeding up very quickly, if you blink you’ll miss it. This is Chrislam, it will be the foundation of the coming One World Religion the Bible says will assemble in the last days. …
An interfaith council to oversee projects advancing tolerance was formed as a result of the declaration, and named the Higher Committee of Human Fraternity. The Abrahamic Family House is its first initiative. …
The design for the Abrahamic Family House, by the renowned architect David Adjaye, was unveiled during a meeting in New York this week, the second for the committee. According to Gulf News, it will take three years to complete.
The UAE is already home to a synagogue, in Dubai, formed in 2008. Though it receives quiet support from the Emirati authorities, its members have largely kept a low profile. The new state-sanctioned synagogue would mark a significant step forward for public worship of Judaism in the Gulf state. 09/22/19 https://www.nowtheendbegins.com/catholic-muslim-interfaith-council-created-by-pope-francis-announces-new-chrislam-headquarters-in-2022-that-combines-mosque-church/
The interfaith movement is going forward, and for a time, Islam will tolerate it (but that will end–cf. Daniel 11:40-43).
Mike Gendron had the following in his February 2021 newsletter:
The above newsletter linked to the following article:
At the service of fraternity
(Vatican City, January 5, 2021) – The Pope Video for January, the first one in 2021, was just released with the prayer intention that Francis is entrusting to the entire Catholic Church through the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network (which includes the Eucharistic Youth Movement – EYM). The message chosen to open the year 2021 is dedicated to human fraternity: in response to all the challenges facing humanity, the Holy Father asks that we open ourselves to each other and unite, as human beings and as brothers and sisters, “with those who pray according to other cultures, other traditions and other beliefs.” As he has said on other occasions, “There is no alternative: we will either build the future together or there will not be a future. Religions, in particular, cannot renounce the urgent task of building bridges between peoples and cultures.”
“Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? … whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.” Matthew 12
“Who is my mother, or my brethren? And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! 35For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.” Mark 3
Sons and daughters of the same Father
The path towards fraternity proposed by The Pope video starts with openness “to the Father of all,” and with seeing “in the other a brother or sister.” He had already advanced this idea in his latest encyclical, Fratelli tutti: “We are certain that ‘only with this awareness that we are not orphans, but children, can we live in peace with one another.’” For the Pope, the differences among people who profess different religions or who live according to other traditions should not impede achieving a culture of encounter, since after all, “we are brothers and sisters who pray.” https://thepopevideo.org/ accessed 02/01/21
As regular reader of this COGwriter Church of God News page are aware, Pope Francis wants to push for totalitarian control while pushing an interfaith and ecumenical agenda.
It is not a biblical or moral agenda that is being pushed.
Now, related to the pontiff’s religious unity push with Muslims and others, we made the following video nearly two years ago:
On February 4, 2019, at the ‘ Global Conference on Human Fraternity,’ Pope Francis and leading Sunni Imam Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb signed a document that some suspect may lead towards a “one world religion.” The World Council of Churches (WCC) General Secretary, Dr Olav Fykse Tveit, who also attended, pushed for religious leaders and institutions to push towards a particular cooperative agenda to help bring world peace. Will there be real peace or just a temporary one? Will destruction come to the USA and nations in the Middle East and North Africa? What will be some characteristics of this “one world religion’? Will all have the same religious practices? Might it have commonalities with the ancient Roman Empire? The Grand Mosque in the UAE was renamed “Mary, Mother of Jesus.” Will Catholic, Islamic, and even Hindu reverence for Marian figures play a role? Is that part of the plan? Should real Christians support the interfaith and ecumenical agendas or remain separate from them? What does the Bible teach? What did Jesus teach? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more.
Some Muslims are talking with some of the interfaith movement, but despite backing from some Muslim governments, the vast majority of Muslims basically do not wish to be part of it. But it is possible that Marianism may be a factor in getting them to do it.
Notice something from Vatican II:
Moslems…They also honor Mary, His virgin Mother; at times they even call on her with devotion. (Nostra Aetate as cited in Bertone, p. 120)
Chapter 19 of the Qur’an/Koran/Quran is, from an Islamic perspective, devoted to Mary and Jesus (“Mary” is also spelled Maryam, Marium, or Miriam in Arabic translations into English). Here are a few passages from it:
019.020 Y: She said: “How shall I have a son, seeing that no man has touched me, and I am not unchaste?”…
019.027…S: And she came to her people with him, carrying him (with her). They said: O Marium! Surely you have done a strange thing.
019.028 Y: “O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a man of evil, nor thy mother a woman unchaste!”
066.012 Y: And Mary the daughter of ‘Imran, who guarded her chastity; and We breathed into (her body) of Our spirit; and she testified to the truth of the words of her Lord and of His Revelations, and was one of the devout (servants).
While the above supports the virgin birth of Jesus, some also seem to believe that the Qur’an is supportive of teaching the “immaculate” conception of Mary in Islam (Pennington R. Islam’s view of Mary. Muslim Voices, December
22, 2008 http://muslimvoices.org/islam-view-of-mary/ viewed 04/05/2011).
So, there are Islamic ties to Mary that resemble those in post-sixth century Catholicism.
One symbol that the Vatican has used for unity was a ‘Chrislam Cross.’ (The cross looks like it is made out of Arab swords called Scimitars.)
‘Chrislam Cross’ (Vatican News)
We also put together a video related to the Chrislam Cross and the interfaith movement:
20:30
What is Chrislam? What are the two forms of it? Did the Vatican unveil the Chrislam Cross? How does it look? Are Christianity and Islam theologically compatible? What does the ‘Catechism of the Catholic Church’ say? What about the Bible and the Quran? Did Pope Francis and Sunni Imam Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb sign an important interfaith document on February 4, 2019? Do biblical and Islamic prophecies point to a deal between the Europeans and Arabs that will be broken? Do Catholic and Islamic writings support the view that Mary and/or apparitions of ‘Mary’ may lead to temporary cooperation between the Arabs and Europeans? Will such cooperation bring lasting peace or war? Have any of the Eastern Orthodox warned of the danger in using ‘Mary’ to push the interfaith and ecumenical movements? Is there a ‘Mary, Mother of Jesus mosque? Should you wish to be part of the Chrislam movement? What does the Bible teach? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more.
The Book of Revelation teaches:
1 Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, “Come and see.” 2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer. (Revelation 6:1-2)
In a 1973 booklet, the old WCG taught:
The long-term condition of false religion described above will culminate in the end-time fulfillment of the white horseman of Revelation 6, in the person of a great False Prophet … He will signal the beginning of sorrows: the first horseman. (Alexander G. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Ambassador College Press, Pasadena, p. 17)
This horseman will work to conquer the truth. A ‘white’ horse indicates that the message will look good to others. But the Apostle Paul warned about that:
12 But what I do, I will also continue to do, that I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things of which they boast. 13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works. (2 Corinthians 11:12-15)
Paul is warning that people will claim to be true Christian leaders and that those leaders will try to come across as ministers of righteousness, but instead be on Satan’s side.
The late Pastor General of the old Worldwide Church of God, Herbert W. Armstrong, taught:
Revelation 6:2 … a white horse and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. That is the picture of the ministers of Satan and not of Christ (Armstrong HW. Times and Seasons. https://www.hwalibrary.com/cgi-bin/get/hwa.cgi?action=getsermon&InfoID=1335184687 accessed 07/01/20)
Why a bow connected with Satan?
One commentator on a television program (Seven Seals of Revelation episode. Nostradamus Effect. History Channel, 2009) mentioned that she felt that the bow was a representing power of the air. In the Bible Satan is called:
2 … the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, (Ephesians 2:2)
Bows also work over a distance and that is consistent with what leaders of the ecumenical and interfaith movements are working for. And what will happen when various laws are put in place associated with the coming Beast and False Prophet.
This churmosquagogue in Berlin is consistent with the ride of the white horse of the Apocalypse.
The Church of Rome as well as various governments keep pushing for a totalitarian, interfaith, and ecumenical agenda in a quest for peace. Yet, scripturally, prophecies show that the way it is heading will lead to war (cf. Revelation 13).
The Bible warns: “the way of peace they have not known. There is no fear of God before their eyes” (Romans 3:17-18).
Do NOT be deceived — the interfaith movement will not lead to peace.
But, ultimately to totalitarian control (cf. Revelation 13:16-18; 17:12-13).
UPDATE 03/07/21: We just put up the following related video:
Dangers of the Churchmosquagogue?
Is the way to peace to construct buildings for professors of Christ and followers of Muhammed to get together? The German government is planning on constructing a building in Berlin called “the House of One.” It is to include a Jewish synagogue, Greco-Roman church, and an Islamic mosque. It has been called a ‘churchmosquagogue.’ Is each way to God a good one as a rabbi associated with this project has said? Is this another step towards ‘Chrislam’? What about the Abrahamic Family House being built in Abu Dhabi? Is Chrislam to be the final religion of the Beast and Antichrist? Did Pope Francis’ first video of 2021 tie in with his ‘Fratelli tutti’ encyclical? Do Satan’s ministers look good to the world? Does the Bible, in the Book of Revelation, warn about someone who looks like a lamb, but speaks like a dragon (Satan)? Will the interfaith movement lead to peace or war? Should you support it? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more in this video.

BIRTHING THE RELIGION OF ANTICHRIST
The Bible let’s us know that in the Last Days there will be a One World Religion that will take over the globe with all falling prey with the notable exception of the Tribulation believers who will be persecuted and beheaded. We don’t quite know what it will look like, but the foundations for just such a religious enterprise are being laid today, with one of the avenues being the melding of the three Abrahamic faiths of Judaism, Christianity and Islam under the banner of Chrislam. Geoffrey Grider of NTEB writes of Chrislam: “It combines the counterfeit Christianity of Roman Catholicism, Islam and apostate Judaism, as well as incorporating atheists, Buddhists, and the entire pantheon of the New Age. The ‘House of One’ in Berlin is a bookend to the Abrahamic Family House being built in Abu Dhabi. Why Berlin? Because Germany led the charge in WWI, WWII and will be center stage for the soon-coming WWIII.” Grider goes on to name Chrislam as “the religion of Antichrist.”[i] I think we cannot know for sure. But it certainly is a staging area for its ascent.
Scripture tells us this. “And all the world marveled and followed the beast. So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, ‘Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?’” (Revelation 13:4-5) So there is surely coming a time when all the world will fall prey to this delusion. We know of the Abrahamic Family House being built in Abu Dhabi. Well, now another is being built in Berlin, Germany. From The Guardian. “On the site of a church torn down by East Germany’s communist rulers, a new place of worship is set to rise that will bring Christians, Jews and Muslims under one roof – and it has already been dubbed a ‘churmosquagogue.’” Christian theologian Roland Stolte summarized it. “We wanted to build a house of prayer and learning, where these three religions could co-exist while each retaining their own identity.” They are calling it the House of One.[ii] It’s inclusiveness fits in nicely with Pope Francis’ heresy that all are children of God. In case you are not aware, here’s the scripture that gives the lie to that notion. “He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” (John 1:11-13)
