What religion are you and why is it the right one?

Question

Not why are the other religions wrong but why is yours the "right" one. I know that it's a personal relationship that matters most, but denominational doctrine/beliefs (like forgiveness being a gift vs earned) do influence our personal relationship and view of God.

Answer 1

CHRISTIAN
Not in the sense of Religiosity or Legalism, but in the truest sense that I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. He is my Lord and Savior. Not Catholic or anything else! Just CHRIST. His way is the right one because He SAID it was! "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man cometh to the Father, but by me." He could not have been just a good guy because he also claimed to be God. "I and my Father are one." That's why he was killed!
I had to find out for myself that religion is pointless if its not the result of a relationship. Christianity is "the right one" because I have experienced His love in my life PERSONALLY. He has changed me and filled me with His Spirit. That's not a feeling or an idea. That's a fact.

Answer 2

i am a protestant, and of no particular denomination. i believe all christian denominations do believe the same thing at the end, but just go about differently expressing these beliefs. i became a believer, after doing my own research into the claims of this Jesus figure. Like the writer C.S Lewis said i thought , for a man to make such a cliam that he is God, he must be the devil, lunatic, of really God. So i went out of the bible, looked up works of Jewish historians like Josephus, Tacitus (who are not biblical figures), read some diary entries by Caesar at the time, and a whole lot of other eye witnessess to this Jesus who were not christians to begin with. Then after realizing that such events did take place, and that there were people that weren't in the bible who also accounted for this Jesus, i came to believe. History is such a valuable treasure.

Answer 3

For many years I was a Baptist. Now I refer to myself as a Christian (someone that patterns their life after Christ). I know that I'm not perfect, but their are certain ways that I should live and certain things that I should do (like help others be saved by telling them that God sacrificed his only son for our sins). I hate when people point the finger and think that their religion is the "only right one". As long as it pertains to the Bible and not man's interpretations of it...you can't go wrong.

Right now I am attending a non denominational church. It has all colors and truly represents what heaven will be like. We all believe in God the father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.

Answer 4

Diesel,
I was born and raised Roman Catholic and then married a Southern Baptist, so I have been practicing the Baptist faith for several years now. I have found that right now, Baptist is giving me what I need to be fed in the word of God. I have not totally given up the Catholic faith, but I do not attend Mass except occasionally. I am forgiven, and saved by Grace, and I am developing my personal relationship with Christ. That's the ONLY religion I need, even if I am in an organized belief system.

Answer 5

My personal beliefs are not exactly Pagan, but it's the closest term I can find to describe it. I can't say for certain that my beliefs are 'right' or that everybody needs to believe in what I believe. The reason I choose this path and no other is the sense of a "helping-hand" or something along that line. I feel like the beautiful Goddess guides me and I trust that regardless of the difficult situations I'm often faced with, I always get through them because I just follow my inner guidence. I remember to be grateful for the miracles around me, like my cat, my parents, my brother, my job, my great meals every day, the sun, the great weather here! sooooo much else. I love life, and for that I believe Paganism is right for me.

Answer 6

right now, i don't think i have a religion. i believe in God and Jesus, but i just don't have a religion. I was baptised Episcopalian then i converted to Catholicism when i was 10. but i didn't know anything about it really, i mean, i was 10. and so after looking at some of the Church's feelings about certain issues, i've found that i don't agree with them at all, and so i'm just kinda on my own.

Answer 7

I'm Catholic. Is it the right one? I wouldn't know. I go through the motions of being a Catholic but deep inside it doesn't matter. Because as far as I know every good thing I do for my fellowmen I learned from other people and not from the Bible. I just go to church to make my family happy. It's just an hour every Sunday anyway...

Answer 8

I don't have a religion and I believe that God (or whatever you want to call that being) is nothing more than a spirit that exists in all of us and some invisible being in the sky. I don't think religions in itself are wrong. It is the interpretation and the belief that theirs is the only way and everyone else is wrong. In other words, intolerance.

Answer 9

I am a Muslim.

I studied the Quran really throughly (no, not the internet one because the internet holy books eg holy Quran, bible and others are largely corrupted and not at all dependable). In the Quran and around me I found many many many evidence of Allah and so, I think, it is right. N pls don't think that there is terrorisim in the Quran. There isn't!!!! Trust me don't beleive the newspapers. The newspapers, I regret to say are even fooling some of our muslims in the Islamic community and it is very sad.

Answer 10

Buddhist, which is not technically a religion because we don't have a god. I was raised in the anglican church but as my personal philosophy developed I realised it was not right for me. I beagn looking for an established church but found buddhism matched my beliefs very closely so I chose that path.
