Ask the Muslims, Buddhists, Jews, etc.

Religion is opinion. None of it can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

The feelings of genuine truth in one's religion are felt by members of all religions.

Anyone who claims they know, without any doubt, how what they believe is the only real and true belief is proclaiming their own idiocy.

If this were not the case, there would not be so many variations on the beliefs. For example, how many "flavors" of christianity are there, and which one is the "right" one? Does this make all of the others 'wrong'?

Look how the various sects of Islam are busy killing each other over their common faith.

The orthodox and non-orthodox progressive jews regularly debate also. There is plenty of religious disagreement within all faiths...

...which is why none of them can proclaim to be the one REAL and TRUE religion...because they don't even know what's right within their own sects. There is simply no proof, and no way to test theology.

It's all make-believe, and no one can prove otherwise.

To answer your question, NO. I am a Christian but the answer to your question is no. Why do you ask? Because religion is something that is manmade. Christianity is from God, and it is a relationship between man and God. Read John 3:3-6 and Ephesians 2:8-9

From a historic perspective, that's how the denominations advanced. I make no declare to which one teaches "real" Christianity. The Christian faith (which contained in the Bible is observed extra in many circumstances as those who followed the way) spread from Judaea to Rome and Asia Minor and Greece. there have been distinct splinter faiths that disagreed with the major element that Jesus became God and guy. Many NT books talk this controversy. The church became persecuted for decades earlier starting to be the dominant faith of the Roman Empire between three hundred-500. for the period of that element, the Council of Nicaea met and formalized the books of the recent testomony, even as concurrently publishing the Nicene Creed, an announcement of what being a Christian entailed, conception-sensible. at present, maximum Christians known a unmarried Church. the first major chop up contained in the Church surpassed off even as Egypt/Ethiopia lost contact with something else of Christendom in the course of the autumn of the Roma Empire. This grew to change into the Coptic Church. Over the subsequent thousand or so years, the Western Church depending in Rome gave its allegiance to the Bishop of Rome who observed as himself the Pope. The more suitable jap Empire, besides the undeniable fact that, commanded the allegiance of the jap Church, who considered the Emperor to be their religious chief. by utilizing 1054, the pressure between those 2 factions grew so large that each and every excommunicated the chief of the different. This Schism of 1054 resulted contained in the Western (Roman) Catholic Church and the jap (Greek) Orthodox Church. The Orthodox Church slowly advanced into distinct nationally-flavored (Russian, Armenian, Greek) Orthodox church homes. The Roman Catholic Church stayed jointly until eventually Martin Luther broke away, claiming the Church were entirely corrupted by utilizing the sins of its heirarchy. This became the initiating of the Protestant Church, which very straight away calved into distinct denominations inclusive of Lutheranism, Calvinism, Anglicanism, and far later Methodism, and almost all th different "-ism" or "-ist" Protestant church homes available. So that is merely as real to assert that Catholicism "got here from" Orthodoxy as any opposite direction round. yet somewhat they chop up from one yet another.

Every person has a different religion. If you meet two people who believed they were christian through and through, they would disagree on what they thought god was, or Jesus, or if things like the resurrection is actual or metaphorical or what-have-you.

Christianity itself, is not a sect of religion but rather a belief that Jesus Christ, the son of God, was sent here to save us from our sins. Pay no attention to the non believers. They rejoice in sin and would pull you down to *hell* with themselves. Rather, rejoice in Jesus our lord and savior and be saved.

God is NOT about religion. This whole thing about religion comes from people who don't believe many of the quotes in the original Bible. I'm not going to get deep-down and personal because there's A LOT of information in the Bible that states what I'm about to say and I don't specifically know where to quote in the Bible to help you but; I will help you to the best of my ability according to the scriptures.

Like I said before, God is Not religion. Jehovah our God, has been here before religion was created. Religion got it's name because there are groups of people out there who believe differently about God. They believe differently about God and so, they make up thier own book which is similiar to the Holy Bible, but it's according to THEIR OWN understanding.

What most people don't seem to realize, is that the Holy Bible was here before human existed(John 1:1-4), and if there were any questions or doubts in there minds about God according to the Holy Bible, they should've gotten down on their faces and sought the Lord----NOT THEIR OWN KNOWLEDGE!!!!!!!!!!!

The Holy Bible in the book of Proverbs 1:7, it says " The fear of the Lord is the begining of KNOWLEDGE, but FOOLS despise wisdom and instruction." This verse supports what happened in the book of Genesis with Adam and Eve. God told Adam not to eat from the tree of good and evil. After Eve was made, she knew not to eat from the tree of good and evil; but the serpent tempted Eve into eating the fruit and she gave to her husband from the tree of good and evil.

My point from this is that Eve despised God's instruction for something she wanted. If something caused her not to be sure of something, she should've seeked her husband for further confirmation but instead; she ate because she like what the serpent was saying in her ears about knowing what God knows. Genesis 2:8,9 and 15-17.
Genesis 3:1-7

Now, my point to you is that if you're not sure where to go as far as God is concern, DON"T SEEK YOUR OWN WISDOM, but seek God's wisdom. He'll help you to understand which way to go. The Bible say's, "I am the Way; the Truth; and the Life; you cannot get to the Father unless by Me."

Please read these verses in your Bible:
Proverbs 3:5-7
Proverbs 4:26; 5:21-23(remember Adam and Eve)
Proverbs 5:1,2
Proverbs 6: 23

It's all how you believe. God talked to the Jews first. So maybe it's Jewish. Being a Christian to me just means I believe in God. A religion is how you worship God.

Christianity is not a religion. Catholics and Protestants and other such branches of Christianity are religions. They all believe in Jesus Christ - there are other matters upon which they cannot agree....................
