Why should I follow your religion?

Question

If you were to try and bring me to believe in your faith/religion. why should i believe your faith over any other??? what do you think makes yours the truth?

{ I currently follow no religion and have no bias towards any specific one(s)}

Answer 1

I don't think it is good idea to try and bring you to believe in my religion. I think religion is very personal and it comes from within.

Answer 2

You shouldn't follow just any religion, but the one that truly fulfills a heart's desire for a better world and society. If you are truly tired of seeing all the madness in the world and on the planet, and believe that man cannot solve his own problems, the Holy Spirit will lead you to the right religion. A religion does not need a large and expensive building, with entertainment, and all types of social programs in order the attract people. It needs only the blessing of the Holy Spirit.

The religion does not need just one or two persons, hording all the knowledge of the Bible, but teaches every member, over the age of understanding how to preach and teach the Bible, as Jesus instructed.

It does not need a Sunday School, or children's programs, as it is the responsibility of parents to teach young children about the Bible. If they don't know enough to teach their children, they are not being properly taught by their religion.

A religion doesn't need large idolic symbols, and require or encourage its members to carry around idolic symbols, to re-enforce their faith, because faith is found in the heart, not in a thing.

A religion does need members to come together for worship, because worship is not a group function, but is a personal and intimate exchange done between humans and God. Christ said the blessed one was not the man who prayed at the Eastern Wall of the Temple, but did so at home, alone, for no one to see.

If one of the congregations of a religion becomes too large, it should be able to split it in two, to form a new congregation, since every adult head of household, in good standing, is qualified to lead the new congregation. A religion's congregations should need to be split every 30 days, somewhere on the planet, due to growth.

Teaching God's Word is a responsibility, not a profession, one gets paid to do, in a large building that requires the passing of the plate, or tithing. A simple donation box, in the back, should be all that is necessary.

Going from one congregation to another, any where on the planet, you should seethe same types of people, learning God's Word in the same way.

Yearly conferences of the religion should include the attendance of every member on the planet, with enough conferences held throughout the planet to accommodate everyone.

Finally, a good sign that a religion has the blessings of the Holy Spirit is that it has existed for more than 50 years and no group has split off to form a different branch of the religion, because the members cannot agree on what God wants of us. Uniformity in beliefs is a hallmark of a true belief in God and his Son.

Find all those factors in a religion, and you will have found the right one, if finding the right one is truly your heart's desire.

Answer 4

good question...

i would ask one thing before you make your decision... the ones that try to convert you are the ones that should not be bothered with. Why should a free spirit be drawn to anything specific other than faith itself.

You managed to bring yourself here by means of pure faith and now you seem like you need guidance of some sort, bad things happen to us all and we all need someone when the lights go out and there is no-one there to talk to.

Just look up at the sky, think of the stars, remember what it was like to be a 10 year old when the world was still pure. The answer will come to you.

I'm like you i dont follow anything specific.

hope you find what you seek.

Answer 5

Personally I don't believe you should follow any faith just because someone is trying to convince you. Faith is a personal choice of what you believe it has nothing to do with anyone else except you and your beliefs. If you are interested in religion your best bet would be to study the teachings and see which one is right for you.

Answer 6

I can only tell you why I follow mine, and that's because I met with Jesus. I wasn't raised in any faith, never went to church or any other place of worship, had only a basic knowledge of Christianity, but God persued me until one day, at a friends baptism, the Holy spirit stirred my spirit and it was truly like the scales falling from my eyes. It was like seeing the truth for the first time, that everything about the world I believed to be true was an evil lie. Satan is known as the father of lies, it says in the Bible he has blinded the world to the truth of Jesus. Jesus opened my eyes, I was baptised in the Spirit but didn't know that's what had happened until a few weeks later. It was like being filled with pure love. I have studied other faiths since then, but I can't deny my experience through Jesus. I have many prayers answered and Ive been used to heal a couple of times, instant miracles, in non christians who were amazed. That's why Christianity is true for me. God has not let me down once not even in the hard times, His promises to me personally have all been honoured.

Answer 7

I have never asked anyone to follow my religion.We are free to follow whatever religion we choose and there is nothing that says my religion is any different or is the only right religion to choose.The church or religion is not going to get you into heaven.It only shows you the road to heaven and gives you a place to go to feel the presence of the lord.Since the church is a symbol of the lord and everything in it is based on the lord,it can bring you peace and confort to feel this close to him.It does not matter what religion you are,they all have basically the same beleifs in general.They all honor the 10 commandments and they all beleive in the bible.Most even use the same bible,the king james version or the living bible.They all teach you to respect the elders,not to steal and treat others with respect,they all teach you that you are not alone and god is always listening even though he may not always answer our prayers in the way we want.Some religions use different things to symbolize things which is about the only difference in the religions.It all boils down to one thing though,always be good to all man kind.

god bless you

Answer 8

Lets see. If you believe that hell and the devil don't exist then my religion could be yours as well. We do not believe in an supreme evil force or that there is or ever will be a hell. Our Creator gives out unconditional love to all. Our Creator loves everyone no matter their beliefs. Our Creator answers all prayers and is active in the lives of those that paise the Creator. We have no church, we give no tithes. No one had to die to bring us eternal salvation. We recieve the Creator's blessings every day and see the wonders of life all around. We are charged by the Creator to heal the world by any deed or act that we can do. My religion?

I am a Witch and I worship the Goddess.

Answer 9

Faith

Answer 10

I can't make you or even persuade you to follow my faith - because my faith is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God - it's not a religion. And I would hope that my life and the way I am and live would cause you to pursue me with questions and interests in why my life with Christ is the way it is so that I wouldn't have to "try and bring you to my faith". Only the Holy Spirit's conviction can truly bring you to Jesus Christ, my role is to live in such a way that you would want what I have in my life and to share with you the joys of my faith, not try to brainwash you into it. And what makes it the truth? Because there is only one truth - and Christ says He is the Truth - and there is no other religion that says it is only through their Christ that salvation and heaven is to be had. That's faith - and that's good enough for me.

Answer 11

Read Acts Chapter 1 and 2 in the New Testament and then you decide. If you believed you could receive that experience you most likely would want to. It's not religion, it's just living for God.
