Do all religions lead us to the one true God?

Answer 1

Do all roads take you to New York? It's the same for all religions leading us to God. Even if you are on the "right' road, you need to be heading in the right direction. The road that does take you to New York, can also lead you away. That is why we are cautioned about keeping watch.

But as far as the question, "do all religions lead us to God," this is the answer: "Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6)

Notice that this is not a claim of Christians. It is the claim of Christ. Buddha never claimed this. Muhammad never claimed this. Krishna never claimed this. It is only through Jesus Christ that you can come to the Father. So, either Jesus was a liar, or a lunatic, or He was Lord, and was speaking the truth.

Answer 2

I think so, even if in a non-conventional way, if they are "good" religions. The point is: there is no need of God for explaining the Universe, but religion is something the human being really needs (for his psychic sake). Man needs to believe in something higher, that explains and justify everything, and act as a father to him/her. Therefore religion can be of paramount importance, and every religion which makes the human being act respectfully of the others (and other's beliefs and religions) and satisfy his/her need of confidence can be a good religion. At the end, every "good" religion leads to the "true" God, in this sense.

Answer 3

The original, unchanged revelations given to Abraham and other prophets(like Moses and Jesus ) reaching back to Adam all came from the One True God(The Creator). This common origin explains their similarities in many beliefs and values

However, over time the teachings of the various religions, due to a variety of reasons, have become distorted and mixed with made-man ideas.

The last Prophet and Messenger of God, Muhammad , who is a direct descendant of Abraham through his first born son, Ishmael, was sent with the Last Guidance, Revelation and Testament, the Holy Qur'an(koran) to amend and correct the changes and corruption made to the the "Torah" which was sent to Moses and theTrue Gospel of Jesus.To say the truth ,God preserved all the other Holy Books plainly by preserving His Last Book the Holy Qur'an(koran)which contains the right and the truth of all that was changed in those other Books.

God promised that since Muhammad is the last of the series of the Prophets and Messengers and since the Holy Qur'an is His last Book of Guidance to humanity, He Himself will guard it from any changes or corruptions till the Day of Judgment. This is why this last Revelation which was sent 1423 years ago has remained unchanged, not even a word or a letter has been altered.

There is not even one word of difference between two Arabic Qur'ans, anywhere in the world. There has been no disagreements in history among Muslims as to what should and should not be in the Qur'an.

Islam teaches us that we must pray directly to God without an intermediary and no soul can bear the burden of another and that the nature of humanity is good, and we did not inherit sin from Adam. Each soul comes into being free of sin.

The oneness and universality of God's message requires that people accept all the messengers of God. Rejecting one of them amounts to rejecting them all. The Jews reject Jesus's mission and Muhammad's mission; the Christians reject Muhammad's mission; whereas the Muslims accept them all, but reject incorrect historical interpretations and human elements in these missions.

Answer 4

I don't know if there is a God or not... but if there is, I'd think it's the same God, that he just goes by different names depending on the culture and language. He's accepting of the changes that Man has made over the years, considering he gave us the brain to learn and grow. He's also accepting of homosexuality, cursing, nudity and everything else that gives his creations pleasure, as long as it doesn't lead to hurting others.

Because none of that can be true (according to Christians), God cannot possibly exist.

Answer 5

I am not religious, per say, but I DO tend to think the answer to your question is: YES.

The problem is the word, "GOD"

Muslims pronounce it, "Allah" and have different beliefs about it, and we can go on about the others.

The common, fundamental idea of ALL religious/spiritual ideals is what is most important. The basic idea of morality, for example. (well...for 99% of religions)

What I think are the most important BASIC ideals, are the realization of some energy force--some guiding source of our natural intuition--some explanation of the afterlife...

Explanations of the afterlife, interestingly, seem to differ quite a bit--as much as the rules and regulations about those religions. What might be important, however--is the fact that most of those afterlife beliefs might actually have common principles that are simply understood in different ways--as I believe is also true of religion.

Answer 6

The One true God (from the Bible) tells us who He is and what to look for. Any God which teaches differently is not Him. For example: the Muslim's "Allah" which they will say is the same God as the Christian God, cannot be the same because their Allah teaches to murder all "unbelievers" and also tells them that if they do suicide bombs they will be martyrs and get 72 virgins in their new paradise. My God (of the Bible) teaches against all that, so obviously they are not the same. Some people are deceived. Make that, MANY!!!!!!

Answer 7

of course not. because not all religions single out one being. There is allah, the god of christianity, buddah, mohammed, etc. some people worship prophets. other people worship statues. others worship spirits or the unseen god. So if there is in fact one true god, then somebody's wrong! all this talk of everything and everybody leading you to heaven is definitely incorrect.
this is entitled: "What happens when you die?" i hope it proves useful.

Answer 8

The religion that takes you to God is your true religion, the one that resonates with your beliefs. Mine might be different, but I'll meet you at the finish line.

Answer 9

"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” - Gospel of Mathew, chapter 7, verses 13 & 14



Religion is man's pathetic attempt to reach GOD.

Which is impossible by the way.

Christianity is GOD reaching out to man to save him from himself and his sins through Jesus Christ. Big difference!!!

Answer 10

Religions are man made...what leads us to God is our faith in Him, and living a life according to what the Bible directs!
