What I looked into mostly before becoming a Christian was various philosophies, ideologies, and I'd actually adopted a fair a amount of occult practices into my daily life.
I really didn't start to study other established, well-known religions, however, until after I gave my life to Jesus. I didn't go out on a mad search to make sure I was on the right path or anything. Looking into the varous other religions, such as Hinduism, B'hai, Buddhism, Islam, Mormonism, etc., just sort of happened here and there along the way. I'd find out some random fact about a religion then I'd go and check out the validity of the thing I found out, and then, out of sheer interest and/or curiosity, I'd start to dig a little deeper to find out more facts about the religion, and so it would go until I was either bored with the subject or satisfied that I'd learned what I needed to learn about it for the time being.

I carefully compared the teachings of the Bible, which of course is not a religion, with the beliefs and practices of the Christian Witnesses of Jehovah prior to dedicating my life to Jehovah.
I have also compared the teachings of the Bible with so-called mainstream Christianity. In general, they seem to overlook much of the Scriptures.

stable factor, to be purpose you ought to learn all of them. No faith has it completely precise, they might't through fact we are human which potential we are ignorant. God isn't gonna carry it against you in case you studied Muslim over Christianity. Im optimistic it is going to hold it against you in case you by no potential even tried, or once you probably did you made a 0.5 a** attempt through fact you found out to have self assurance it actual takes some attempt. To brush aside God altogether based on the constrained ideas shape you very own is the two absurd and conceited. you recognize so little, atheists, what makes you assume there is no God. i can't inform you why you ought to believe yet i'm going to tell you that the opportunity of God is there so why do you in easy terms brush aside it. Thats in easy terms a stupid theory and a wager i do no longer choose to take, yet suit yourselves.

I have studied many religions, focusing mainly on the eastern ones. My own religion, Theravada Buddhism, is essentially tied to some of them, so I have also compared them

I have studied personally in Christianity and Islam. I was lucky to find the truth regarding Islam, every commandment
had clearly stated its meanings and the reasons as why one must obey. Islam is beautiful, it emphasize on cleanliness in
all aspects that includes mentally and physically. It also teaches its followers to cultivate patience , love, forgiveness and sympathy towards one another. Why not , find out yourself and make your own decision, you won't regret for it.

I have compared and studied quite a few on my own and in study groups.
The most studied so far are Muslim/Islam
Mormans
Jehovah witnessess
Scientology
Catholic rituals and rules outside Gods word and will.
and of course my own belief of Christianity (follower of God and God alone, and all that he has done, all that he is doing, and all that he is yet to do.)

Actually, I have studied some other religions besides my own (Catholicism). I have studied Hindu, Islam, Jewish, and other Christian religions.
May the Lord bless and keep you. May He let the light of His face shine upon you.

I am a Catholic person from Mexico and I have met with some friends in Protestant churches (anabaptist specially). Thanks to them I could learn other opinions and beliefs.
When I studied the differences between that branch of Christianism and mine I could learn more about my own church.
