No, Jesus said that most people are on the broad road to destruction, and even many recognizing Jesus as Lord would not be acceptable. Matthew 7:13, 14, 21-23

it is not the religion God looks at, but where your heart is in concern to Him. He sent His only Son Jesus to Earth to live a brief human life (about 33 years), and then Jesus died on the cross for our sins, as He has no sin. Three days later he arose from the dead and walked amongst his disciples and several other people to prove that he was alive. To get back to the question though... in the Bible God tells us that He is a jealous God and that no one is to worship a false god. I know of several churches that preach the Bible, but don't really understand the meaning of what they are talking about. I have to admit to no longer going to church myself, but rather listen to online "teachings" in regards to the Bible and what the Bible tells us. A good place to look to is Oneplace (dot) com. Zeus, Jupiter, Eros, etc.. are false gods. There is only one God and that is the Christian God. If you want proof of this statement look in Matthew 24, Revelations 6 & 7: it tells of the end times and so far almost every prophecy has been found out to be accurate, although the Bible was written almost 2000 years ago.

We cannot know what pleases some external God in the sky, so decide whether a religion pleases God based on whether it pleases God's presence in you, i.e. your individual conscience and sense of right and wrong. If a religion teaches you to do something that does not comport with how you feel people should be treated, then it does not please the manifestation of God in your own soul, and that is all you can know.

No, in fact I believe that there is only one true religion, and that is none. No religion can be real because if there was one true religion, then the rest of the religions would look bad. So ,like, I believe that a real religion has yet to be discovered.

Definitely not. God is not interested in "religion." He is interested in mankind coming to a relational knowledge of him. There is only God and only one way of knowing him. Jesus said that he is the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father but through him. Jesus is God come in the flesh to teach, to fulfill prophecy, and to pay the price for our sins. You can either accept this or you can try to pay for your own sins when you die and stand before God to give an account of your life on earth. Make no mistake about it. The reason that we have so many "religions" out there is that people rather keep their sins than come to a knowledge of God. God is good, merciful, and loving, but he will not ignore our sins. He expects obedience, but he is not a tyrant. He is holy and expects holiness form us, but he also enables us to live according to his will. God is truly just and loving, but he is also a God of justice. A good church that believes the whole Bible and teaches is where you will learn about him.
Have a great day,
Mr. M on religions.

I think the religions are fine it's the fanatics who belong to the religions. Each religion has the same basic concept....a belief in a Higher Power.....wanting the same end result....being in a place of utopia at the end of your life. Everything in between gets screwed up because of the fanatics. People need to chill.

The only way to the father is through the son. The only thing that pleases God is faith in his word.

Pleasing to God?? Sorry, that makes no sense. You're saying that God sits around and approves and disapproves???
I'd say that if that were true, he would definitely disapprove of most Christianity as it is practiced, as well as Muslim fundamentalists. God is within.

Religions that goes against His will and purposes and destroy human lives and others doesn't please God. I personally think religions doesn't please God at all...too many indoctrination and ideas that goes way far from whats originally taught causing people to war even their own kind. Who would be happy about that...
