I rediscovered an old article I've had and lost several time over, perhaps, 10 years or so. I thought I'd share it to see what people's thoughts were on the subject.
"Progressive revelation is the teaching that different Messengers of God appeared in the world at different times to guide mankind on a spiritual path. All of these Messengers were sent by One God and so, fundimentally, the religion of God is one religion. Unfortunately, most people fail to see the universality of religions and there have been, and still are, constant religious wars and conflicts because each group of people believes that theirs is the only true Messenger from God."
