I was just thinking. What does it say to you when God gives inconsistent, contradictory, and ambiguous books of instructions to Jews (Old Testament), Christians (including Catholics, even though Catholic Dogma is more important), Mormons (Book of Mormon), and Muslims (Qoran)

It tells me religion is made up by MAN.
Not that there isn't a god but god would never be this complicated and confusing. I think we're just supposed to interpret life for ourselves and religion doesn't have to even enter the picture.

I can't speak for the Muslims...but the instructions given to God's people have been consistent with what they needed at the time they received it. The Jews received the Law of Moses because that's what they needed and that's what they could handle. Then when Jesus came along he gave them a higher law. Then when all the sects fell away from the truth anad Jesus restored it to the Mormons, he restored the fullness of His gospel and gave them additional scripture and revelation (Book of Mormon and other). I don't see anything contradictory in this. It is instead an indication of a God who is concerned and engaged with His people.

The Bible is the only thing god gave us. The book of morman, qoran and all the other books out there came from a man not God.

He didnt. You should research each religion, its foundation, its dogma, and it basis of fact. You'll find MOST were forwarded by man themselves, not God, and that denomination religion is the basis for the contridictions, not God.

Because man created god, not the other way around.

He didn't. He gave clear instructions, etc to the Jews and then to the Christians....People have twisted those words, changed them, added to them and taken from them to make them fit what they want them to. (Read the last verse of the Bible.)

What makes you think God did that?

Those are all religions of middle eastern origin.
That explains it for me.
