True Believers? why would your faith in your deity be more valid than the faith others have in their deity?

Question

answer the question assuming that people of other religions and spiritualities are as sincere in their faith and belief as you are in yours.

Answer 1

Well, simply put, my faith in my God is more valid because to believe otherwise would imply that my faith is wrong, and no one likes to be wrong. When you believe in something with all your heart and soul, you do not want to think that someone who has a different belief then your is right, thus making everything you believe in wrong.

Answer 2

everybody is born an atheist. Then they're taught and indoctrinated in believes and faiths or despite. they'd or won't have determination in this as a infant counting on individual condition. because of the fact the guy gets older and extra autonomous they'd acquire a level of determination. some have lots some only approximately none counting on their degree of indoctrination, cultural pressures and private intelligence and cognitive skills. they could be waiting to compliment faith or atheism independently at this component. not everybody reaches this point and that they settle with their youthful programming. because of the fact of this atheist tend to have a intense wide-unfold intelligence. they'd desire to make it this a ways to compliment. it quite is to not say that everybody who makes it this a ways or has a intense intelligence chooses atheism. only that they attain the component of determination.

Answer 3

There is nothing about my faith that is more valid than any other. I believe the question you are intending to ask is: Why would the Deity you choose to place your faith in be more valid than the deities chosen by others in which to place their faith?

Be Blessed and Blessed Be

Answer 4

Good question.

But first: There is no "more" to validity. God is God, and no one else is.

I believe that many other faiths attempt to describe God, and that it is apparent that their "authors" had some insights into and experiences with God. How "far" the authors went on their faith journey and how they interpreted their experiences is a whole other matter.

This is complex to talk about, though, since some religions began years before Christ came to earth. Take Hinduism, for example. A very old faith system with some validity with regard to its practices and with some insights regarding that which is human and that which is divine. It is valid as an experience, an interpretation...but it is not the Truth of God. How do I know? Because a man lived on the earth and said that the only Way to God was through him, and then he sacrificed his life so that humankind could be free of sin. So, many Hindus today have the opportunity to know Christ. They can choose an ancient faith system that seems to earnestly seek to know God, or they can choose to get to know God themselves through the Way. A Hindu prior to Christ did not have this option...no one did. Today, he or she does.

Take Judaism, for example. The Old Testament, true to the letter of God but perhaps not true to the spirit, is speaking of God. It prophesies a Messiah. It is apparent that the Messiah arrived. So Jews may choose to accept him, or they can continue to wait. There is the choice.

There is much to account for when trying to discuss the history of world religions, and I am too lazy to go through it at present. Let's just put it this way: God is God. God sent his Son, so that we may reach him and come to know him personally. There are other faith systems that attempt to point to God, but none other that offers a way to find him. While some people practicing religions other than Christianity can have insights regarding God by way of their practice, they cannot reach him directly, not going the Way. I believe that many faith practitioners are sincere...but none other claims to provide the key to the kingdom, not that I know of. They may be able to partly describe the kingdom, and give partial directions to reach it...yet as for a Way to unlock the gate, they do not offer it.

Answer 5

1 Because the Bible is unique. The materials used; the way it was written the historical reliability of both the Old and New Testament stands apart from every other historical book ever written.

2. Jesus is a man of history. We have documented resources outside of the Bible to verify His existence. If Jesus was not God then He deserves an Oscar. Jesus was either who he said he was... or he was the worlds best liar... and who would die for a lie? Or he was a crazed lunatic... yet his teachings were sound and logical.

Jesus claimed to be the only way to get to heaven... He provided the only answer.

Sure there are a lot of religions out there... but Jesus stands apart. He is worthy of researching. To be a Christian means that one follows Christ. And to follow Christ; one must know Him. To do that one must earnestly seek Him. Hebrews 11:1, 6.

Answer 6

As far as I am concerned there was never a question of validity of faith. What ever faith one professes sincerely is valid.

Answer 7

Christianity.Simply,Fulfilled prophecies(No other religion has them) and lives changed for the better by the millions.
No other religious leader claimed for 31/2 years that he would die and raise from the dead...and then do it ,except Jesus.Buddah is dead Muhammed is dead,Confusious is dead ,Zoaroaster is dead,....but Jesus lives!
St.Paul says,(paraphrased)He rose and was seen by a few and then by the 12 and then by his brother James(James didn't believe in him until he saw him resurrected),then by 500 at one time and finally by me...as one born out of time.
Flavius Josephus writes(A Jew who lived at that time) 'Jesus was a good man ,he and his followers went about doing good'.Josephus was present when Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 AD by the Romans...one of Jesus' fulfilled prophecies he said in about 33 AD.
Paul says" out of the body(dead) at home with the Lord".That's a lot better than having to continue on the "Wheel of Life "until finally you're thrown out into nothingness...so-called Nirvana..(great group)

Answer 8

One person's faith CAN be as valid as another person's (this is assuming fiath is not a religion, but an attribute), but not all religions are valid.

Answer 9

I am a Pagan, i beleive in over 1000 gods and i worship over 300 of them.

who the bloody hell would i be to tell someone else that their god does not exist?

all religions are viable and correct when they increase the value of life for the people that follow them.

Answer 10
