I discussed the theory of religion(Christanity, Islam, Hindoo, Budhism, Jews, Sikh etc) with concerned ppl.everybody tells u their religion is the Best.I acknowledge this thing too that theoratical they r equally best.
BUT i found that ppl who defend their religion with hardline/softline
never practically follow it.they just satisfied themselves to tell other ppl their religion is the Best?
How do u find out about this? They r all almost in same boat.
Nobody follow it 100 percent in life. its my observation from last 10 years.

You said that every religion has the truth, No they don't, Yes they can take a few scriptures out of the bible to make a point, But can they take the whole Bible & make a point, connecting every scripture in order. No, But God will have a BRIDE down here on earth at the end time that will see eye to eye Isa. 52:8 & Eph. 4:11-14, This I believe, After my observation for over 36 yrs. And I know these people personally from South Afica to Norway, From Canada to Mexico, From Israel to Iraq.

we the religion of humanity and greed follow our own interests, and when we want others to do the same, we call it "religion" and dogma to try and repeat an experience of wonder/worship that was good for us one time

our beliefs based on life experience and input from others shapes our actions and decisions, which then form our percieved character from other's point of view

believing in god and living as god are indeed two different things

those in the past that became the miracle, or became the change they wished to see in others we called saints or 'godly'

very few carry out thier beliefs, largely because belief is other's truths and experiences. We need to focus upon our own truths and experiences for knowledge rather than trusting other's accounts of what was true for them

our actions should be mutually beneficial, even if motivated by greed and selfishness, we can live life in a fair trade society and equal benefit

those who live thier beliefs do not preach, just live and are too busy helping others to preach and boss around

I'm a Christian. Does that mean I am perfect? Absolutely NOT! I make so many mistakes in life, it's not even funny. But the assurance I have is that God will forgive my stupidity! The major difference between Christianity and all other religions is that in Christianity, God is reaching down to mankind to form a relationship with each individual. In all other religions, mankind is trying to be good enough to reach God (or godhood). In Islam, one must pray 5 times a day, go on hadj, fast during Ramadan, etc. In Hinduism, a person must try to be the best they can be in order to eventually evolve into perfection. In Buddhism, one must be the best one can be to eventually become one with all and nothing. In Judaism, one must make sacrifice to God.

the thing you seem to miss is that they are believers and have no desire at all to think or discuss their religion. The religious are quite happy to pay to be told what to think. In the grip of their cults the follow like lambs the Judas Goats of their faiths. Blind to the real world until the end. Sacrificing their entire lives in the service of the make believe worlds of religions. I guess it could be worse, they could be trekkies.
For them to follow their religion they would need to know what and why their religion was created and they have no desire to do that because that would undermine their faith. Do lemmings need to know why they march to the sea? no, and they go more willingly if they don't.

Buddhism doesn't say it is best-it is a way of living that leads to inner peace and escape from suffering. It is unique amongst world faiths in that it embraces the diversity of belief that exists. It has to be seen first and foremost as a system of practical philosophy rather than a conventional religion.

There is a difference between what I believe about my own religion and swearing allegiance to it. Working out how we give assent to the doctrines of our own faith can easily become an idol, taking the place of personal faith. When we confuse the two, that's when we have to defend the doctrine as best- over and against any other system of belief- to protect our own identity, which is wrapped around our religious ideology.

Never say never. I'm sure there are other ppl here besides myself who tries to walk the talk. Maybe you haven't met any personally, but we ARE out here.

Of COURSE nobody can be 100% good. That's why we need Jesus.

i've got observed that fairly some top-wing pundits who continually take care of Christianity by no potential do something incredibly Christian, i.e. following the ten Commandments, loving their neighbours, turning the different cheek, and so on. (seem at Ann Coulter/Rush Limbaugh expenses and you will see what I propose.) They do, although, take some areas of the Bible too actually, like the section approximately dominion over the Earth. (Coulter thinks meaning we are allowed to drill and strip and mine and tension gas-slurping SUVs — i think she reported "rape the Earth.") it is frustrating to tell, truly.

You have not yet discussed this with a Baha'i; who will tell you that there is only one religion--the religion of God, and that their religion, the Baha'i Faith, is not the best, but the most recent from the God of the one religion, which He has progressively revealed to man down through the ages, through various Manifestations of Himself, such as Krishna, Moses, Buddha, Christ, Muhammad, The Bab and Baha'u'llah. You are right. They are equally the best because they are all the one religion of God.

I think the followers of those religions are saying their religions are perfect, not that they are perfect. I believe they are all just trying to the best of their ability and understanding to follow their religions. One would have to be perfect to follow her/his religion 100%, and only God is perfect. I think we all just take three steps forward and two back, pick ourselves up again, and take three more steps forward. I believe God doesn't expect perfection from us; He just expects us to keep our eye on Him, and keep coming closer to Him.

I believe they tell other people about their religion because they want to share something very beautiful that makes them very happy. But, there is no "best" religion, because it is all just one religion. Like succeeding chapers in a book. No one chapter is better than any other chapter. They all constitute the one Holy Book of God.

Progressive Revelation

A great stumbling block to many, in the way of religious unity, is the difference between the Revelations given by the different Prophets. What is commanded by one is forbidden by another; how then can both be right, how can both be proclaiming the Will of God? Surely the truth is One, and cannot change. Yes, the Absolute Truth is One and cannot change, but the Absolute Truth is infinitely beyond the present range of human understanding, and our conceptions of it must constantly change. Our earlier, imperfect ideas will be by the Grace of God replaced, as time goes on, by more and more adequate conceptions. Bahá’u’lláh says, in a Tablet to some Bahá’ís of Persia:—
O people! Words are revealed according to capacity so that the beginners may make progress. The milk must be given according to measure so that the babe of the world may enter into the Realm of Grandeur and be established in the Court of Unity.
It is milk that strengthens the babe so that it can digest more solid food later on. To say that because one Prophet is right in giving a certain teaching at a certain time, therefore another Prophet must be wrong Who gives a different teaching at a different time, is like saying that because milk is the best food 123 for the newborn babe, therefore, milk and nothing but milk should be the food of the grown man also, and to give any other diet would be wrong! ‘Abdu’l-Bahá says:—
Each divine revelation is divided into two parts. The first part is essential and belongs to the eternal world. It is the exposition of Divine truths and essential principles. It is the expression of the Love of God. This is one in all the religions, unchangeable and immutable. The second part is not eternal; it deals with practical life, transactions and business, and changes according to the evolution of man and the requirements of the time of each Prophet. For example. … During the Mosaic period the hand of a person was cut off in punishment of a small theft; there was a law of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, but as these laws were not expedient in the time of Christ, they were abrogated. Likewise divorce had become so universal that there remained no fixed laws of marriage, therefore His Holiness Christ forbade divorce.

According to the exigencies of the time, His Holiness Moses revealed ten laws for capital punishment. It was impossible at that time to protect the community and to preserve social security without these severe measures, for the children of Israel lived in the wilderness of Tah, where there were no established courts of justice and no penitentiaries. But this code of conduct was not needed in the time of Christ. The history of the second part of religion is unimportant, because it relates to the customs of this life only; but the foundation of the religion of God is one, and His Holiness Bahá’u’lláh has renewed that foundation.
The religion of God is the One Religion, and all the Prophets have taught it, but it is a living and a growing thing, not lifeless and unchanging. In the teaching of Moses we see the Bud; in that of Christ the Flower; in that of Bahá’u’lláh the Fruit. The flower does not destroy the bud, nor does the fruit destroy the flower. It destroys not, but fulfills. The bud scales must fall in order that the flower may bloom, and the petals must fall that 124 the fruit may grow and ripen. Were the bud scales and the petals wrong or useless, then, that they had to be discarded? Nay, both in their time were right and necessary; without them there could have been no fruit. So it is with the various prophetic teachings; their externals change from age to age, but each revelation is the fulfillment of its predecessors; they are not separate or incongruous, but different stages in the life history of the One Religion, which has in turn been revealed as seed, as bud and as flower, and now enters on the stage of fruition.
