What religion is correct?

Question

Hey, I've grown up christian but there are so many things out there that I can't explain. Can anyone prove to me that they have the correct religion?

Answer 1

Buddhism? It is more of a philosophy, but still... They believe in man, not god.

And because Buddhism has spread without any fight or violence; while every other religion has had wars.

Now... who has the right message of love, and peace? People who went on the crusades, who kill others because they are different, or people who really do as they preach?

Answer 2

It's like anything else a person can do. You could do anything at all in a better way or in a worse way and the correctness of any religion is more a matter of individual practice than rightness or wrongness in the system.
Judaism and Islam are right when they say that you shouldn't worship an idol, but some people make the idea wrong when they don't allow God to be a living being. It is wrong to say that God is only words in a book.
Christianity and Buddhism are right in practicing compassion, but wrong when they practice idolatry.
A continual practice of meditation is good, but it is wrong to shun the real world.
It is right to have a way to care for the poor, but it is wrong to make religion into something that is enforced by the government. Religion by force can never be right.
It is good to have a personal practice that can be done every day.
It is wrong to assume that one's personal path to God is the only path there is.
It is wrong to suppose that a person can only talk to God in one particular language as if God can not understand all languages. That is a gateway to racism.
And in particular- listen up all "Christians", "Jews" and "Muslims"- it is never right to kill in the name of God. Not ever. Nor is it ever right to judge another person as a person. People's actions can be wrong and people can change their actions into better actions, but you must never call another person evil or wrong or foolish or an infidel or a heathen.
Apart from that, the proper religion is the one that allows a person to love God, love humanity and love nature and allows a person to escape from the evil of hatred.
Hope this helps.

Answer 3

There is no correct religion. It is up to each person to find out for themselves what they want to believe. If you look at all the different religions of the world they all have very similar properties, with some settle differences. Is it possible that all religions came from one source, that one true religion. The only way to know for sure, as has already been said, is to die and find out.

Answer 4

I don't think there is a correct religion or a wrong one. It is my opinion that all religions are actually different interpretations by different groups of people of the same Supreme Being. There are actually a lot of similarities between the religions.

I think that the most important thing in all religions is compassion, love and respect we learn to have for other beings. If that is embraced, whichever religion you are affiliated with is correct.

Answer 5

The more appropriate question is, which religion is almost correct ? Because no religion is entirely correct. However there is religion which includes much of what all other religions say and more. Its Hinduism. It may not explain you every thing but it can give you new direction to your thought. For example Hinduism says that you see God as you want to see him, like if you want to see him as jesus he will be jesus, if you want to see him like Krishna, he will be lord krishna. There are many thought provoking ideas in Hinduism, which I am very impressed with.Most important thing is that you need not follow hindu customs to know hinduism.

Answer 6

The "correct" religion is different for every person. The religion that feels one hundred per cent comfortable to you is the "correct" one.

The path I am at home in is Paganism and Witchcraft. I've never been happier. If you're spiritually lost, I would suggest some soul-searching.

Answer 7

All religions are the correct one for thier followers ans all religions are the wrong ones for people who don't follow them. It's a paradoxical question. There is no correct religion in general as no one single religion provides all the answers in a believable way.

Answer 8

there is a "correct" religion, the bible talks about only one church, one flock, one who follows the words of God, if you're searching for the true church, create your questions first, go to different churches and ask them those questions, if they answer your questions using the verses in the bible, try to listen, they maybe preaching the true gospel... it is hard to look for the true church...
but the easiest way is to ask how many gods they worship, and what is the nature of God, is he spirit? is he Christ, because the bible teaches that God and Christ is two different entities, Christ worships God as do most christians, but God does not worship Christ, so God, Christ and the Holy Spirit cannot be one in the same body... So create your questions, attend different churches... If you have time, attend the services of Church of Christ/ Iglesia ni Cristo, the one founded in July 27, 1914, this is just an invitation...

Answer 9

There is no such thing as a correct religion. As long as you are not hurting anyone, you are respecting other's religion, you are a strong believer of the religion you chose to be in... Then there, there shouldn't be a problem.

Answer 10

Agnosticism. That would be the only 'correct' one, because they do not claim to know the truth about the supernatural. They just believe in living a good life, and not all this manmade dogma in other religions.
