+ How do you know you have faith in the right religion?

Question

They can't all be right.

Answer 1

Sorry, that is a decision that you have to make. All religions are faith based.

I find that you can have a lot of very good reasons for your choice, but, the last step, even if it small, is still a step of faith.

Answer 2

No, they can't all be right simply because Christ warned us that many will simply speak in his name, but are not true followers.

How do I know? Because I know for certain that the head of a congregation, a circuit, or a district are in keeping with the ways of Christ, and not just in the positions to own expensive homes, cars, and $1000 suit. Despite having an active membership of over 2 million, no one gets paid to hold their positions, and do not hold them for more than two years, at which time they are replaced.

Because they teach the whole Bible, and not the sum of its part, to every member, adult and children together. By the time children reach 12, they have a basic knowledge of the Bible, and can begin learning public speaking. They give talks before the congregation, before members of 10-12 congregations attending a circuit meeting, and before members of 10-12 circuits attending a district assembly.

Because they don't oppose children learning about Evolution in school, because they have nothing to worry about, as the children get a good Bible education at home. Plus, learning about evolution give a better understand of how variations of species developed since the Great Flood.

Because I know that the people who attend congregations do so because they want and do spread the teachings of Christ. Their lives are center around God and Christ. Because when you ask them when do they observe the Memorial, their answer is always the one given by Christ, which no other religion does, and that even a 12 year old child can answer.

Dear WALTZ #2 (XO),

Religion does not save a person from anything. The Bible tells us of the Only Savior--Jesus Christ, who actually is Jehovah God. If you read the Bible you will also know that your faith cannot save you! (Please see Galatians 2:16, 20 and Philippians 3:9 of the KJV Bible). You'll see that the only One who is faithful is the Lord Jesus Christ (Revelation 19:11).
Your point concerning all the "religions" cannot be true is exactly correct. Even in a particular denomination, say Baptist... You have the southern Baptists, the fundamental Baptists, etc. God only gave one (1) Bible. Therefore, there is a problem in the interpretation and that has been the error of all the "christian" churches. "For many are called, but few are chosen."

Answer 4

By their fruit you will recognize them.--Matthew 7:16-20

They Practice Love:
"this is the most important aspect of true religion.--John13:35; Acts 10:34-35 They are not divided by race or culture. And are willing to die for one onother. --1 John 3:16

They Trust in God's Word:
"instead of traditions of men.--Matthew15:6-9 Why? All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight.....(2 Timothy 3:16)

They Strengthens Families And Uphold High Moral Standards.--Ephesians 5:28, 33; 6:1
Those entrusted with position of authority must have exemplary morals.--1 Timothy 3:1-10

Please read scriptures for full impact on answer.

Answer 5

Because I studied all faiths for over 20 years before becoming Catholic.

Peace!

Answer 6

Don't waste your time, try Islam and you will feel the difference.

Yes, there is only one religion did not and will not lose its purity: ISLAM.
No contradictions, the holy book :"Quran" is the same one since Muhammed(PBUH). Full of Faith and peace.
Westerners convert to Islam become stronger in their faith because they enter Islam after they tried others not like the muslems who were born muslems.

Answer 7

You need to gain knowledge... the bible states at John 17:3-This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ... Did you notice what you need to do in order to gain EVERLASTING LIFE.... you need to take in knowledge... how does one do that? Study the bible. If you have questions, ask. What does it mean everlasting life... as Jehovah's Witnesses, we believe we will live FOREVER in paradise here on earth.... all without crimes, violence, wars, sickness, death, old age... and everything else we all have to worry about in todays world. We will all be young and healthy... who doesn't want that? You can find all of this in the Bible... you have to search... like the bible says, as if searching for hid treasures.... If you knew there was GOLD in your back yard... wouldn't you look for it without letup... you would go to great means to find it...never giving up... so the "rewards" for searching unending for God's gold is everlasting life... any other questions, you can ALWAYS ask one of Jehovah's Witnesses... they are never afraid to discuss any questions you have and if they do not know the answer, they will research it and then get back to you. So next time they knock on your door... listen.

Answer 8

IMO - there is no religion that is better than any others. I am not a 'religious' person but I have my beliefs. The way I see it is that if you are comfortable with your own beliefs then you have no reason to label yourself.

Answer 9

You don't. That's why religion is bull crap. People will argue that theirs is right until the end of time.

Answer 10

studying studying and studying, religion isnt something youre born into its something you discover, blind faith is not good, you cant make a 'leap of faith', it has to make sense to you, you have to be honest to yourself and do some really good research
