How do you know what religion is the right one?

Question

I mean if i go to the buddist, they will claim they are. Catholics, christians, jehovas witness, jews, will all claim this. How can we know?

Answer 1

it's a crap shoot

Answer 2

I dont believe there is any "correct" religion to belong to. Whatever fits your spiritual beliefs, go there.

Think about it: I know Bhuddists don't have 'god', but other religions do. Now Catholics claim that any other religion is untrue or sinful. And most claim that "'s god is wrong. But wouldn't that make them polytheistic by acknowledging another god, and therefore gaianst their own religion?

Whether or not I'm correct, it's complicating thoughts like that which are why I stay away from churches and commited religions until I've found what fits my personal beliefs.

Answer 3

Religion is wired into your brain as a child in a way that you can't erase it. That's why most people continue the rituals when they really don't believe. That is why you asked the wrong question. You should ask if you should believe any religion. All ask you to accept the paradox that an all-powerful all-knowing god can make you with free will. That's nonsense - he/it can't help knowing if your are being made strong enough to resist sin or not. Ask yourself if it is reasonable that a god that can make you can't make sense.

Answer 4

You have to ignore the claims, and see which one fits you. Read about the different religions, is there one that rings true to your heart? If their beliefs don't feel right to you, don't try it. When you find a belief that seems right, find a church, Sometimes you may even have to try a couple different churches of the same faith to find the right one.

I hope this helps, don't let anyone confuse you. God bless & good luck !!!!

Answer 5

the right religion is the one that you choose. Think over your options, read up on the different religions, and make your own choices based on your findings. Only after you have decided your religion for yourself through your own research and feelings, and not what others tell you is correct, will you find the one true religion.

Religion is something individual to each person, so find your own path that is right for you.

Answer 6

Well, the reason they will all say that they're religion is the best is because it's their opinion, and in they're opinion, they're religion is just right for them. You have to look into each religion and try it out to see what's right for you based on what you believe, and what seems logical to you..It's something that's strictly and solely up to the person themselves, and no one can change it..But every religion will claim theiselves as "Best". But it's just an opinion. (I myself think that the way I go "Atheism" is best, but that again is my opinion, because it makes sense to me, and it's logical, and it's simple.) You have to make your own decisions on these types of things..Obviously, if you go on what others say, your gonna be in one big confusing mess seeing as they see what they believe is best.

Answer 7

I wanted to ask this , I wish I Knew . I don't think any one can really know for sure , I think God is your concience telling you right from wrong what is good from what is evil. Like the picture that has the angel whispering in one ear and the devil talking in the other.

Answer 8

You'll know....when u find the right religion....:)

Go ahead and learn more about these religions...Hindu, Buddism, Christians, Jewish, Islam etc...

And later you'll notice that most of them preaches the same thing and perhaps the same one God....
The only major difference is that these religions starts at different eras...

Answer 9

No religion is "the right one." They are all flawed. But when you get to know Jesus personally, then you'll know.

John 14:6
"Jesus answered, 'I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"

Answer 10

To make it simple--ask or pray to the one and only true God. Religious groups are basically just social clubs that make up the rules to fit their own ideals--thats why there are so many to choose from and each one will tell you that --their religion is the one - sanctioned by God.

Answer 11

First of all it's not about religon ,It about God man made denominations to divide currency into different values of money .Modern man created this same senario in religion and tradition also to divide . Every person has the spirit of God in them called the Holy Spirit which is part of the God head or trilogy of God the father,Son,Holy Spirit.Now the way you listen to the voice of God is with your heart .I f you always listen to your heart he'll guide you to where he wants you.
