Does God accept all religions?

Question

What does the Bible teach as far as how God feels toward all the different religions? There are many different religions claiming to be Christian, yet they teach conflicting ideas. Does the Bible teach that He accepts all forms of Christianity? How about other religions? Please use scriptures to support your answer.

Answer 1

It is important that we worship God in the way that he approves. Many people believe that all religions are pleasing to God, but the Bible does not teach that. It is not even enough just to claim to be a Christian. Jesus said: “Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will.” To have God’s approval, therefore, we must learn what God requires of us and do it. Jesus called those who do not do God’s will “workers of lawlessness.” (Matthew 7:21-23) Like counterfeit money, false religion has no real value. Even worse, such religion is actually harmful.

Mark 7:6, 7: “He [Jesus] said to them [the Jewish Pharisees and scribes]: ‘Isaiah aptly prophesied about you hypocrites, as it is written, “This people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far removed from me. It is in vain that they keep worshiping me, because they teach as doctrines commands of men.”

Regardless of whom a group profess to worship, if they hold to doctrines of men instead of the inspired Word of God, their worship is in vain.

“Go in through the narrow gate,” Jesus said, “because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it; whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it.” (Matthew 7:13, 14) According to God’s Word, there are only two kinds of religion: one true, one false; one right, one wrong; one that leads to life, one that leads to destruction.

Some people think that all religions are pleasing to God. The preceding Bible verses show that this is not true.

The important part is the same -- accept the gift of salvation through the sacrifice of Jesus.

Well, there was really only the one Christianity back in Biblical times.

John 3:16 is one of the best known verses in the world. "For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten son, that whomsoever believes in Him would not perish, but have everlasting life". So no....God does not "accept" all religions. There is only one way to the one God and that is by His one son.

There are many different denominations....some of them disagree in doctrine, but all in this one thing: Jesus is the only way to salvation. And if they do not believe this, they are not Christian.

Mormons, by the way, are not Christian. They are believers in a Jesus other than the biblical Jesus (who they claim to be the "spirit brother" of satan)....and their false prophet was warned about in the book of Galatians, chapter 1, verses 8 and 9 "but if we, or even an angel from heaven, should preach unto you another gospel than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed". Joseph Smith claimed to have been given a "new gospel" by an angel. Interesting this was foretold two thousand years earlier.

One has to be very careful...and know the bible....to avoid counterfeits.

Answer 4

There may be different denominations, but only one Church. The Church of Jesus Christ comprises of people who have received Christ as their savior, accepted His work of salvation on the cross and believe He rose from the dead. The Church also believes in the inerrancy of Scripture as far as history, doctrine and ethics are concerned.
As far as world religions go, Jesus said:
"I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through Me" (Jn.14:6)

Peter the apostle stated in Acts 4:12, "Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved"

Answer 5

Yes,but in The New Testament is writte that The Way to God is Jesus Christ, "Jesus:I Am the Way,the Truth and the Life"
I think ,when i go in visit and i have dirty shoes,i must to clean my shoes and after that i come in house.
We must understand that The Sacriffice of Jesus cleaned our souls and we must to do what Jesus said in the Bible and after that we can meet God.
By the sin of Adam God punished the men.
God forgives the men by The Sacriffice of Jesus Christ The Son of God . If we don't believe in Jesus we stay in the first situation: men is punished by God and the Heaven is closed for he.
We must go in the second situation in each the Heaven in opened for men. Just i think so,i understand in this way my belief.

Answer 6

Let's put down the bible for a minute and ask ourselves if it is worth it (in all ways) to subscribe to any sort of God that would send much of the world to a fiery, eternal Hell for not accepting certain dogmatic truths over others.

Answer 8

the problem with religion is that they are so narrow and so selfish...let's look at it this way: instead of thinking of religion as the only way, let's look at it as another way...
