Will there ever be just the one religion - as there is only the one God!? (beliefs, creation)

Amen!

Is there any prophecy in that there will be one religion at the end when all knees will bend to Jesus?

Are unsaved people included in that one religion?

Can you please explain further..

"Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess" It will be kind of hard to hold to a different religion when your knees are bowing and your tongue confessing

When you say religion, what do you mean?

Can we one day walk as one as we were meant to?

I ask this question not to discriminate against any religion, but to pose the question of unity in order to create a more peaceful place to live and to prompt others to think about the creation of the world we live in and the vastness of its beauty and really what God's intentions would have been?

I think I'm going to ignore the content of this original post and respond instead to what I think was its sentiment.

I do not think there will ever be one religion. I think if we look at history--particularly recent history--we see an interesting phenomena that contradicts, in many ways, 18th-19th century predictions that modernizing, Westernizing processes will overcome cultural differences and melt cultural distinctions into one uniform "culture". We have seen that globalization is countered by localization, syncretism by anti-syncretism, modernism by fundamentalism, and ecumenism by dogmatism. Everywhere processes to erase distinctions arise, other processes intended to preserve cultural and religious identity, purity and authenticity counteract them. I think it doubtful, then, that humanity will ever be able to overcome cultural differences enough to form one world religion. We can learn to live peacefully, I think, but I don't think we'll ever get further than that.

IMO there will never be one religion. It is healthy to have different religions, different points of view, it's how we grow, and learn.
I don't think a peaceful world is relliant upon a combining of religions, but rather a refusal to use a specific religion to fuel ones hatred.

Everyone will know the truth, and there will be no denying it.
