Could all religions be right basically, without the need for violence?

Answer 1

I've heard that all religions have a PIECE of the Truth, and if it weren't for the stubbornness of man, they could probably come together in peace. But not in the real world.

Answer 2

There is no need for violence, but all religions cannot be basically right. There is only one truth. All religions could be wrong but not right.

Consider the story of the elephant and the blind men. Each touched different parts of the elephant and each can away with a different understanding of the elephant. Only with sight could the whole elephant be understood.

You must decide if the religion that you follow provides the true vision of God.

Answer 3

All religions could be wrong basically, without the need for violence.

Answer 4

There are really 3 religions the have one message, Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
You will ask why are there 3 religions, I'll tell you the following:
Jews manipulted the Holy book and didn't follow what GOD told them to do.
After this manipulation GOD sent Jesus Christ ( in the original Holy Book of the Jews it was mentioned that a man will be sent by GOD in the future who's Jesus Christ ), but what Jews did is that they fought him.
When Jesus Christ was sent Jews Fought him and his followers manipulated the Bible, to a degree that made them believe that Jesus Christ was the GOD, so in the original Bible it was mentioned that a man will be sent in the future to clear the things up who's Mohammed, and that's how these religions are.
The followers of Mohammed and Islam didn't manipulate the Holy Book Quran, and till now the Quran is still the original one.
And Mohammed is the last Messenger that will be sent to earth.
But sorrowfully all non-Muslims are fighting Islam without even knowing it and without even visiting Islamic countries and people,
Judaism and Christianity were supposed to be correct but their followers manipulated them, so Islam is the correct and clearest religion now whether people believe in that or not.

But even of this, I say that we must live together peacefully and solve these religious issues by dialogue not by violence.

Answer 5

...That makes no sense. How could all religions be basically right - you need to compare what they teach. If everybody is right, then nobody is. Let me illustrate.
...Jesus claimed to be God, and the only way to God - now either He is or He isn't - and He leaves you no wiggle room. And many faiths would deny that He is the only way to God.
...The difference between Christianity and all other faiths is this:
1. Christianity is the "DONE" faith. In 1 Corinthians 15 we read,
"3 For I passed on to you first of all what I also had received, that Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for our sins in accordance with [what] the Scriptures [foretold],
4 That He was buried, that He arose on the third day as the Scriptures foretold,
...Christianity is based on the finished work of Christ - what He has already done, and we are called to trust in Him alone for salvation. When he died, Jesus said, "It is finished", meaning the debt is paid, or paid in full.
2. All others faiths are "DO" faiths - that is, they count on some type of works-based salvation program, to become right with God.
Scripture says "by the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified"
...As for the violence, it is a pity that there are those who make it their objective to force people to "join their faith or religion" and do so at gunpoint or use violence. Sadly, that will probably continue - I know of no way to deal with radical terrorists, whose goal in life to exterminate and harm as many others as possible.
...If they trust in Christ, He will change them from the inside out; otherwise, I can offer them no hope.

Answer 6

They can all be right only from a certain perspective. However not even within a particular religion do adherents agree with one any other so how do you expect world wide they do so about religions outside their own.

But if you are still attracted to such an idea I suggest researching either the universalist and or the Bahai faiths as this is one of their biggest themes.

Answer 7

A religious seer once espoused that there are many ways up the mountain. However the seer may not have been hearing from God. The Christian Bible teaches that God came down to make a non-violent way for man to be forgiven and restored to peace with his Creator. The only violence that was necessary came from those who crucified Jesus (for our sins).

Answer 8

Any religion that advocates violence and senseless brutality(I.e the Abrahamic three- Christianity, judaism and Islam) cannot be right because of thier attitude towards others that do not think like they do.

Answer 9

No. Christianity states that you must accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord and that He is God. Muslims do not. This is a bit of an impasse and since Christianity and Muslims make exclusive claims, one or the other must be right as both cannot be.

As far as violence goes, the percentage of Christian to Muslim terrorists acts for their religion, not politics, is very low.

Answer 10

basically right? no
without violence? yes
I once heard a story about two blind men who walked up to an elephant. one grabbed the elaphants back and said when the elephant lays down I will be safe. The other one grabbed the elaphants belly and said when the elephant lays down I will be safe. hhmmm. both blind men have a very different veiw and only one is right.
