Can you explain why Your religion is the only one, and why the other religions are mans design but not yours?

Question

You will declare that YOU have found the truth-You will base considerable amounts of the decisions you make on your religious views-YOU will chose friends and associates, lifesryles and occupations based on your knowledge of what you have learned about your religion-and at the same time you will do your best to dissaude discussion or reference other religions BECAUSE YOUR GOD TOLD YOU SO. YOU made the correct choice and all others are wrong because your absolutely sure GOD wouldn't lie to YOU-he found you special enough to create so WHY would he try to deceive YOU! Why would he give you unto a family that worships these same beliefs of place before you the guidance and directions that you follow if YOUR God were not the TRUE God-Now consider this entire question as one that each individual considers-plus the family direction or peer pressure or ENLIGHTENMENT that has placed this CHOICE into perspective for you. Can you possibly defend your religion with actual proof of it being correct

Answer 1

Well as per my religion we believe

Like all rivers flow towards ocean..all religions and faiths point towards the truth.

Krishna (an incarnaion of God) told in Gita...who so ever worship me by any name or in any form...actually worships me (the supreme consciousness...called God, Allaha)

And mind Hinduism never says...that only they have the truth... although we have deeper philosophies on Universe, Life, Death and God

May god show all the path of Truth

Answer 2

No religion can prove that God exists. That's why religion always tells us what God's true religion is (there's of course), but God never has.The only proof that they have of God's existence is that, "someone said so". Nothing more. Religion has always been a source of power and wealth., even today where you see in some countries government sharing power with one religion. Have you noticed in 3rd world countries that the "men of the cloth" are usually fat and the followers thin? Can any religion offer enlightenment on the dinosaurs that we can prove existed? Religion is power and money for the leaders and enlightenment for the followers.

Answer 3

What happens when you become what you hate? A war against religion is just one more religious war and the world has had enough of people like you. Your question is everything they are and you are no differ ant then them. How does it feel to have become what you hate. Live and let live. Use half your energy to do something positive not pointing out negative and you can change the world. Let it GO and go on with your life and forgive them for being human and not as smart as you. Stop acting like them.

Answer 4

Judaism, Christianity and Islam are chips of the same block. One came after the other, but the message was same. One superseded the other. Judaism and Christianity deviated from the right path, as they made changes to their books, which were revealed by God, and are no more in their original form. So one can't know what was said by Jesus and what wasn't, considering that NONE of the apostles spent anytime with Christ (peace be upon him). Its absurd to say that apostles had revelations, only Prophets have revelations.

Qur'an, unlike other books has been preserved, because it was memorized FIRST rather than being written. Prophet (peace be upon him) had nominated four of his companions who had learned Qur'an from the Prophet (peace be upon him) himself. This way these four passed on their memorization to other people and next generations. Although whenever a revelation came, the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to have it written down by a scribe, but it was also transmitted by him orally to these four companions completely, and partially to others. So when Qur'an was compiled as a book, there were multiple sources of verifying that there was nothing which was changed.

Today more than 13 million muslims know the Qur'an by heart from cover to cover. You can take one memorizer from indonesia and another from America, and they won't differ on a single word!

Even if all the Qur'ans were thrown into the ocean, muslims would reproduce exactly the original Qur'an in a matter of days as so many know all of it by heart.

Answer 5

It is by faith I have been saved - and this not of myself.

In 1986 I asked a youth pastor how he knew his god was the right, real god. He said, "You just know." They asked me that night to give my life to Jesus Christ and I refused because how was I to know that Jesus Christ really was the Son of God, the Messiah? I didn't and they could not PROVE it to me.

In 1988 I prayed alone in my own apartment and asked the real God to reveal Himself by sending true ministers of the real God to my door. The next day, Christians came to my door. But that wasn't even enough. Sometime later I couldn't open the mayonaise and after struggling and frustrated I cried, "Jesus if you are real HELP ME!" and suddenly the lid came off.

If you want to know who the true God is, don't take anyone's word for it or even somebody's supposed proof. You need a direct one to one encounter with Him yourself. But I wouldn't look too hard if you don't want to end up becoming one of those defenders out to prove you are the one who is right. You know how people hate that type.

Answer 6

I would never say my religion is the only one. Obviously there are a lot of religions and there are many paths to God. I do believe that Jesus is the way, but I do not believe that an open-minded active choice of Jesus is the only way. There are as many ways to accept Jesus as there are people seeking God and trying to lead a good life. Someone who never heard of Jesus but is following the law written on their heart (the conscience) has accepted Christ without even knowing him personally.

Answer 7

Well, no. I can explain why my My religion is the only one FOR ME and why I feel that my certainty is justified. I can also tell you that I think whatever each of us believes is actually true for the individual that believes it. I can also tell you that I think that all of the organized religions of Earth share a set of core beliefs and they all are really very similar once you strip away the regional rules and customs. I think if we can strip away the divisiveness we can come up with something truly wonderful.

Peace!

Answer 8

to "prove" your religion you have to back it up with something. I back my beliefs up with the bible. Others place their beliefs partly on the bible but chose to either add or ignore parts to make their religion either more benificial or more inviting to others so they can be in a large church. I do my best to check everything I am told with the bible, and if I do not find any reference to it, I ask the one who told me to show me where in the bible they got their belief. Books written after Revelation may be biblical, but not part of the bible. In the book of Revelation, it says that it is finished. Now how can I prove that the bible is true? It can't be scientifically tested, though some parts are. Many scientists, that you don't hear about very often, have set out to prove something in the bible to be false, but have found it impossible to disprove, becoming believers themselves.

Answer 9

Of course, I can tell you why the religion I practice is the correct one. I can do so without bashing other people's belief systems because I respect each person's right to believe in whatever higher power and belief system that they think is right, or to believe in no higher power at all.

You did not ask me to convince you why my religion is correct, just to tell you why I believe it. To convince you, we would have to agree upon a common authority or moral compass. For me, that is the Bible. I will tell you why I believe the Bible to be authoritative and the Word of God. You can decide for yourself whether that is reason enough to trust in it's guidance.

The Bible was written by many different authors over a period of about 1500 years. Yet, despite the differences in authors, their backgrounds, their occupations, the Bible is in harmony with itself.

The Bible has not changed despite centuries of translations. It has been remarkably preserved. The dead sea scrolls found in 1947 proved this. There was at least of portion of every book of the Old Testament except for Esther, and almost the whole text of Isaiah, word for word.

The Bible has withstood the test of archeology. With every new find, the historical accuracy of the Bible is verified.

The Bible answers all life's hard questions. Where did I come from? Why am I here? What am I supposed to be doing while I am here? Where will I go when I die?

The Bible is accurate when it comes to prophecy. For instance, there are hundreds of messianic prophecies in the OT, each one remarkably fulfilled in the life, death and ressurection of Jesus Christ. In addition, the prophecies of Daniel have been fulfilled to the letter. Daniel 2 reveal that there will be four world kingdoms to dominate the earth. In order, these are Babylon 605-539BC, Medo-Persia 539-361 BC, Greece 361-168 BC and Rome 168 BC-AD 476. After this Daniel predicts that Rome will split into 10 kingdoms. This is exactly what happened. Isaiah 45:1 predicted 150 years before Cyrus was born that he would capture Babylon In addition, Isaiah told the method that Cyrus would use, by drying up the Euphrates. In Daniel 9, the exact year of Jesus' baptism is predicted, along with the year of his death. There are countless others. Let's see any other holy book do that.

The Bible changes lives. God spoke the world into existence, and the same God recreates us in his image by transforming us by the Holy Spirit through the written Word of God. The Word of God is just as powerful written as it is spoken. Millions of changed lives are testimony to this fact.

For these and other reasons, I find the Bible to be an accurate and reliable source of reference, In fact, the Bible speaks of itself:

And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness 2 Timothy 3:15,16

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. 2 Peter 1:20,21

I will leave it up to you to study and find out if the Bible is a reliable source for you. My belief system is based on the Bible. I trust it with my life and the lives of my children. If I did not deem it to be accurate, I would not value it do highly.

Answer 10

I can tell you what "false religion" is, also what "true religion" is, and I happen to belong to the true religion.

One thing Jesus will do when he returns, is get rid of "false religion" along with anyone practicing it.

What is false religion?

Why does religion seem to be at the root of so many problems?
The fault lies, not with all religion, but with “false” religion.

False Religion...MEDDLES IN WAR AND POLITICS: How many religions can you think of whose members engage in war?

False Religion...SPREADS FALSE DOCTRINE: Most religions teach that the soul of spirit is some invisible part of a human that survives the death of the physical body. However, the Bible teaches a different doctrine. “The soul that is sinning, it itself will die.” Ezekiel 18:4 Jesus taught that the dead will be resurrected, an unnecessary action if humans had an immortal soul. Does your religion teach that the soul does not die?

False Religion...TOLERATES IMMORAL SEX: Church groups ordain gay and lesbian members of the clergy. What, though, does the Bible teach? It plainly states: “Do YOU not know that unrighteous persons will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men.” 1 Cor. 6:9,10 Do you know of religions that condone immoral sex?

God will call false religion to account for all the despicable acts she has committed in his name.

What must you do if you do not want to share the fate of false religion? "Get out of her, my people," Rev. 18:4, Now is the time to flee from false religion! But to where can you flee? Not into atheism, since its future is also bleak. The only haven is within true religion

How to identify true religion.

True Religion...PRACTICES LOVE: True worshippers are “no part of the world,” are not divided by race or culture, and display “love among themselves.” Rather than killing one another, they are willing to die for one another.

True Religion...TRUSTS GOD'S WORD: Instead of teaching “tradition” and “commands of men as doctrines,” true religion bases its doctrine on God's Word, the Bible

True Religion...STRENGTHENS FAMILIES AND UPHOLDS HISH MORAL STANDARDS: True religion trains husbands to “love their wives as their own bodies,” helps wives to develop “deep respect for their husbands,” and teaches children to “be obedient to their parents.”
