What religions claim to be the absolute truth and all other religions are wrong?

Question

Organized lists, would be appreciated as responses.

Answer 1

Christianity, Islam, and sometimes Judaism (depending on the sect).

Answer 2

That's not how it is.

In every religion, there are some who think theirs in the only truth and all others are wrong (the arrogant and intolerant people -- all religions have them).

In every religion there are some who see that all religions are ways of getting at the same kinds of things (the open-minded and tolerant people -- all religions have them).

Thus, for example, Southern Baptist Bill Moyers could talk with Joseph Campbell in a way that respected all forms of religion -- even though many of that group are tremendously arrogant and closed-minded.

It's the individual, their character and personality, and their relationship to their religion -- not the religion itself.

Answer 3

There can only be "one" True Religion, read the below and try to figure it out yourself.

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?

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 HIGH 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.”

True Religion is available, search for it.

Answer 4

Probably the only major religion that doesn't profess to having the ultimate truth is Buddhism. Curiously, Buddhism is also the only major world religion without a God. While other religions are busy telling their members what they should be and should do, Buddhism is only concerned with freedom from suffering and pain and therefore spends its time telling its members what they should not do so as not to cause themselves pain and suffering. Makes sense to me.

Answer 5

Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that their religion is the only right one. (Isa. 43:10-12) Their beliefs and practices are not new but are a restoration of first-century Christianity. As 'Witnesses' of Jehovah and his Son, Christ Jesus, they really believe that the Bible is God’s Word and that what it contains is there for our instruction. (2 Tim. 3:16, 17; Rom. 15:4; 1 Cor. 10:11) So they do not resort to philosophical arguments to evade its clear statements of truth or to justify the way of life of people who have abandoned its moral standards.
In fact, not all religions could be true, for they all contradict one another, but the really true religion must contradict all others.

The Bible does not agree with the modern view that there are many acceptable ways to worship God. Ephesians 4:5 says there is “one Lord, one faith.” Jesus stated: “Narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it. . . . Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will.”—Matt. 7:13, 14, 21; see also 1 Corinthians 1:10.

Repeatedly the Scriptures refer to the body of true Christian teachings as “the truth,” and Christianity is spoken of as “the way of the truth.” (1 Tim. 3:15; 2 John 1; 2 Pet. 2:2) Because Jehovah’s Witnesses base all of their beliefs, their standards for conduct, and organizational procedures on the Bible, their faith in the Bible itself as God’s Word gives them the conviction that what they have is indeed the truth. So their position is not egotistical but demonstrates their confidence that the Bible is the right standard against which to measure one’s religion. They are not self-centered but are eager to share their beliefs with others.

Some may say, 'Do not other religions also follow the Bible?' Many use it to some extent. But do they really teach and practice what it contains? Please consider:

(1) From most of their Bible translations they have removed the name of the true God thousands of times.
(2) The Trinity doctrine, their concept of God himself, is borrowed from pagan sources and was developed in its present form centuries after Bible writing was completed.
(3) Their belief in immortality of the human soul as the basis for continued life is not taken from the Bible; it has roots in ancient Babylon.
(4) The theme of Jesus’ preaching was the Kingdom of God, and he sent his disciples out to talk personally to others about it; but the churches today seldom mention that Kingdom and their members are not doing the work of preaching “this good news of the kingdom.” (Matt. 24:14; 28:19, 20)
(5) Jesus said that his true followers could be readily identified by their self-sacrificing love for one another. Is that true of the religions of Christendom when the nations go to war?
(6) The Bible says that Christ’s disciples would be no part of the world, and it warns that whoever wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God; but the churches of Christendom and their members are deeply involved in the political affairs of the nations. (Jas. 4:4) In view of such a record, can it honestly be said that they really adhere to the Bible?

Answer 6

All do. That's why they preach or try to convert you. There are some more then others. But everyone believed in the same thing or desired to do so in the same way there wouldn't' be religion(s).

Answer 7

(1)Christianity
(2) Islam

Answer 8

All of them claim to be the absolute truth, by definition. And consequently, all of them claim that if you don't say the exact same thing, you're wrong.

Answer 9

Almost any religion does this.

The Catholic Church, in my belief, has a good claim on this one. They received their instruction from God Himself, in the person of the Christ. Any variation from His instruction is therefore incorrect.

Answer 10

I would like to think they all do ....or should.
Why have a religion if not convinced it is THE way to go?
