If people worship but one God, why are religions so competitive?

Question

If it's the same God, why do we allow various religions to ravish religion with harassment or death threats if individuals don't worship the way that they want?

Answer 1

Because churches - all centers of organized religion - do not care about god at all, their sole purpose is to control the masses and use them; churches are the false prophets, really. Top clerics in all religions would kill god and any true messenger on sight to defend their wealth gained by deceiving people.

Answer 2

Its because many do not understand that simple fact.Where did
our planets come from?The sun.The sun came from the galaxy cluster.The galaxy is part of the Universe.The Universe is from the big bang the big bang is from the cosmic manifistation and the cosmic manifistation is from god.God is from the intelligence that binds us all.He is truth itself.He is beyone the vision of the mortal eye.He is beyone life on Earth and extra terrestrial life.
He is beyond our primitive vision of the Universe because he is the intelligence behind the Universe and our conciousness as humans.No matter what there has to be one thing that starts everything.The religions fight over this ofcourse.They have different paths.They all want to find the meaning of existance and be with god and seek a higher knowledge of the Universe and
God.Even if some people belieeve in no God and just fact their God is fact.Their God is the dust clouds of the big bang because it is the source of their concious minds.Christianity
is among the most well understood religions but they condemn other religions and say their is the only path and read quotes from the bibal to prove their points.Yet a religion like Hinduism which believes in one god known as Vishnu/Brahmna (the source of all) they also say that Christianity is a great religion to follow as well as Islam and other religions as long as it is followed sincerely.Thats it.The cow thing is not true at all they just believe that it gets a status since it is usefull to man.
Thats it!And yet every religion will condemn Hinduism and say
it is primitive and without fact when it has been known for ten thousand years.Its sort of like that.Intelligence in religion can be found by studying it.Each religion fills the others gaps and mankind will have to figure it all out.Then as people we can acheive perfection to Earth and end the senseless killings which
will in the end destroy us all.Hinduism,Christianity,Islam all
forsee that happening.In Christianity the apocolype has to do with a horse and as in Hinuism

Answer 3

Who says it's the same God? That cannot be. If the God of the Bible is God, then any other so-called god is not. When is the last time a Christian issued a death threat to a non- Christian?

Before you bring up the Crusades, let me remind you that Catholicism and Christianity are different religions. Catholicism is a pagan religion with Christian trappings.

James 2:19 Do you still think it's enough just to believe that there is one God? Well, even the demons believe this, and they tremble in terror!

Answer 4

First, you assume that there is one God.

From the bible, we get there is one God.

Also from the Qur'an, we get there is no God but God. Again one God.

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Each with its prophets and depending on your belief, which one do you believe.

Judaism has a covenant with God. They have 613 commandments to observe. None of the commandments are directed towards non Jews (gentile).

Christianity has only one restriction, 1 Cor 10:23-24. But with the New Testament you see the claim that Jesus live, died, and was resurrected. It has a hope for eternal life.

Islam is has a prophet who records the word of God (Allah is Arabic for God as used by the Arab Jews and Christians.)

But which (if any) do you believe, especially when all three contradict each other.

You may worship the same God but not in the same way.

Answer 5

John 4:22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

Most people don't know God, though they profess to know Him. That is why there is little agreement.

Answer 6

Christians are the same as People in a race whereby every individual believes that he or she should be the best and can do anything in order to become ahead of the other and receive a crown. so anyone ahead of him or her becomes a hindrance yet the aim and the race is the same so thats why there is competition.

Answer 7

It isn't the same God.
Jehovah does not kill people to fill heaven
He says do not take blood..it belongs to me it is sacred
he says not to have idols
he says not to delve into politics
he does not have a hellfire that burns forever..hell to God is the grave
He does not say every good person worthy of life everlasting will go to heaven.
most will live on earth
so you see this is what the bible really teaches about the Almighty God

Answer 8

Because religions are societal and political institutions, little to do with God.

Those who carry God in their hearts are not aggressive about it, and many do not need a church in order to worship him. Rather than with words that mean little or nothing, they pay God their respects with their every day deeds and thoughts. As the Amish do.

Answer 9

i did not keep in mind that 'Nun' replaced right into a faith. the ingredient is, each and every branch of Christianity thinks that they are good and that the different branches have interpreted Gods will otherwise than what replaced into meant. If God replaced into genuine, i don't believe of there might want to be such an argument.

Answer 10

To put it in simple words, People have misunderstood GOD. If I show you a vegetable (say, a Brinjal) and I ask you what it is, you call it as a Brinjal, a chinese may say that in chinese lang, an Arabic may call it in an arabic lang, a Malaysian may have his own name for it. But ultimately all point out the same "Brinjal". Now, similarly God is one, but each one of us want to prove that his version of God is more superior to the version of others.
