How do you know if the religion that you belong to is false?
Says that Satan can be an angel of light and appear really good,
So it would not be easy to spot a religion that is not doing God's will, how do you think you could spot a false religion?

False religion is worship that is built on falsehoods and that is in conflict with God's word of truth,the Bible.Jesus Christ indicated that false religion produces bad works,just as a "rotten tree produces worthless fruit"(Matt.7:15-17).Bad fruit such as-
- meddling in war and politics:A prominent religious leader in the United States declared:"You've got to kill the terrorists before the killing stops".His solution?"Blow them all away in the name of the Lord".By contrast,the Bible says:"If anyone makes the statement:'I love God',and yet is hating his brother,he is a liar."(1John4:20)Jesus even said "Continue to love your enemies."(Matt.5:44)How many religions can you think of whose members engage in war?
- spread false doctrine:Most religions teach that the soul or spirit is some invisible part of a human that survives the death of the physical body.By means of this teaching,many of these religions exploit their members,charging money to pray for departed souls.However,the Bible teaches a different doctrine."The soul that is sinning - it itself will die."(Eze.18:4)."The living are conscious that they will die;but as for the dead,they are conscious of nothing at all."(Eccl.9:5).Jesus taught that the dead will be resurrected- an unnecessary action if humans had an immortal soul.(John 11:11-25).Does your religion teach that the soul does not die?
-Tolerates immoral sex:In Western lands,church groups ordain gay and lesbian member of the clergy and urge governments to recognize same sex marriages.Even churches that condemn immorality have tolerated religious leaders who have sexually abused children.What,though,does the Bible teach?it plainly states:"Do not be misled.Neither fornicators,nor idolaters,nor adulterers,nor men kept for unnatural purposes,nor men who lie with men....will inherit God's kingdom.(1Cor.6:9,10)Do you know of religions that condone immoral sex?
What good fruit should true religion produce ?- Matt.7:17
-true religion practices love:True worshippers are "no part of the world",are not divided by race or culture,and display 'love among themselves.(John13:35;17:16:Acts10:34,35) Rather than killing one another,they are willing to die for one another - 1John3:16.
-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.(Matt.15:6-9).Why?Because "all Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching,for reproving,for setting things straight."(2Tim3:16)
-true religion strengthens families and upholds high moral standards.It 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'.(Eph.5:28,33;6:1)
Does any religion meet these standards?The Book Holocaust Politics published in 2001 says:"If more people practiced versions of what the Jehovah's Witnesses preach and practice,the Holocaust could have been prevented and genocide would scourge the world no more."

The origins of most of the religions out there are well known. All one has to do is read the facts.

And the facts are, they're all false, including the bible. If there were a god, and he decided to take anybody to paradise, my guess is he would take the atheists/agnostics. We're the only ones who seem to value finding out the truth of his existence.

well firstly christianity is NOT a religion but a relationship with god.

Secondly all the other so called religions are false to try and put you off the truth.


Have you noticed that most disasters occur in areas where false religious practices take place

e.g the beach where the tsunami hit they were all worshipping the moon, not saying all of them did. it was terrible what happened.

Galatians 1:6-9
I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!

i like your questions mutually as an author writes a e book, she or he many times fashions it to attraction to a particular team of persons. some books are written for the noticeably knowledgeable, others for infants, despite the fact that others for those in extremely expert fields. on a matching time using fact the Bible is actual available to all, that's meant to be understood and widespread via ability of a particular team of persons. Jehovah crafted it for the consumer-friendly-or-outdoor, the meek ones of the earth. Such people can hold close the experience of the Bible, regardless of their preparation, custom, station in life, or ethnic team. (one million Timothy 2:3, 4) at distinctive hand, an tips of Bible fact is denied to those now no longer rightly disposed, no bear in mind how clever or knowledgeable they could be. The haughty, the proud, can't hold close the smart truths of God’s be unsleeping. (Matthew 13:eleven-15; Luke 10:21; Acts 13:40 8) fairly God ought to desire to furnish this sort of e book. you're able to desire to income the historic previous of Christianity: via ability of Jehovah and Illustrated via ability of Jesus Christ, At Matthew 13:24-30...Speaks Volumes mutually as you're like Moses ,The bible says he grew to alter into into the meekest of adult males.

God is going to destroy all false religion by bringing the truth to everyone.

So it doesn't really matter what religion you are, does it.

All that matters is that God loves us enough the he is not going to allow any one to become lost and not find their way back home.

Mm-hmm.

"Even the very elect" are being fooled, according to Jesus... especially the majority of Christians... the ones who believe that by dying on a cross Jesus took care of everything for them so they aren't expected to be perfect in mind and spirit to enter heaven. They definitely missed the biblical point on that one.

Well, if you go to church and it's nothing but smoldering ruins, chances are it WAS false. But we'll just have to wait and see.

When's the date, anyway? I might plan to take off work that day to observe all the implosions.

no one knows only that Jesus says that He is the way, and the bible has withstood time, Jesus is also mentioned in the Koran, but they see him as a prophet, the old test. tells us that a child will be born who is the son of God, so I presume that christianity is the way.
