Even if the path was a runway with flashing red lights, some people wouldn't follow him. If you are unsure, do some homework, go to different churches and see which one seems the most logical to you. Be careful, there are alot of false churches out there. Satan does not want you to find your way there. A lot of different religions just confuse. Makes it harder to find the path, under all the brush.
God gave the gift to everyone, you have free will to say no.
Catholicism was not the first religion. Jesus' followers were first called Christians in Acts. The disciples visited many temples and churches. The word catholic means universal. Catholics took it one step further and made Pope's, nuns, etc.

real reason there are so many religions??? Catholicism was the first religion. Unfortunatly the prists would tell members what to believe without having proof of what they were saying. The members were not allowed to read the Bible as this was only for the priests to read. This is how they became money hungry, saying you could buy your way into heaven and such. The Bible or any book for that matter was very expensive to print becasue it was done by hand and took a very long time. Most could not afford this. when it was published and members got to read what the Bible really said, they broke off and made different religions starting with the prodestants i think. I learned all this in a History class in college.. Found it very interesting.

In my opinion, religion is a man made way to deal with the uncertanties of life. If I am a certain religion it's because I feel it brings me closest to God. If God had laid out a road map to heaven then there would be no such thing as faith. If there were a road map then we'd all be saved and it would be worth nothing. This way there is a CHOICE and that's what God is all about. He give us the info that we need and then the choice to follow is up to us. Come on....we all live for a little challenge now and then right :)

God gave us only one very clear path. Unfortunately, because Satan does not want you to find it, he is using a cloaking device (my expression) trying to hide the path from each one of us. Then, some got discouraged and said "I give up on God" and so they also started telling people that no path ever existed. Others, decided they could make their own path and charge people to get on it, so they also led them away from the true path with their lies. Now we have a big mess but the true path is still there and God wants you to find it. That is why he wrote you that letter (The Bible). He tells you to search as if for great treasure. Don't give up.

Oh this is such an honest question. I wish I could be as clear to you as crystal, so you could see. He did make a clear path. Jesus said, "narrow is the path to life, few will be on it". He said He was the truth, the life and the way.
The reason there are so many other "paths" claiming to be right is that there is an entity called satan....who is the father of lies. His entire existence is about destroying people, doing anything he can to lead them away from the truth of Jesus Christ.
The path is Jesus; the way to find it is through God's word, the bible. I pray that He show you that way and make your way sure.

because there are so many different people with vivid imaginations and predisposition to superstition, the same reason people get addicted to gambling, you win a couple of times so you think hey I will win, you see something that your told is an act of god but is really a coincedence and hey presto must be god or the gods and from then on in you only need the occasional reaffirmation by the odd coincedence to stay hooked on your chosen faith. God made it hard to find Him because He wants people who really want to find Him, if you really look and you really want God then you WILL find Him, if you don't you wont.

Religions were made by man, not God. Different cultures and different people have different ways of looking at God. I believe that God has lots of names: Buddha, Allah, Krishna, Yahweh, Waken Tanka.......
God did not give us a clear path because he will help us but wants us to do the footwork. He helps those who help themselves in many ways.

God didn't create all these religions. Most of them are manmade. God provided us with one Church, founded by Himself 2,000 years ago, within which the path to salvation is very clear indeed.

Religions are creations of man, and not God. That's why there are so many different interpretations. My advice is to get out of any religion you may be in and do your own thinking.

the biggest mistakes human beings have made is in allowing others to inform us what G-d's note says. we are responsible to understand His note for ourselves. As for the thanks to understand, G-d gave that answer besides: seek for Him with a straightforward heart ane you'll locate him. regrettably many attempt that out with an already defeated approach, no longer truly looking forward to an answer. i do not trust that "any" denomination or faith" can any further declare the "finished truth", besides the very undeniable truth that it truly is in Scripture. guy has stuck his 2 cents nicely worth in too many parts. fortuitously G-d will preserve that quite quickly even as He sends Yeshua lower back to Earth to end ha Satans reign. Then the completed truth will be re-instituted.
