Why so many? Because whenever some enterprising business man sees success in a field he is comfortable in, he will likely start up a similar business in competition.

Religion is a godless business, so none of them can claim to be right, and none but God can claim one wrong.

Because it is the religion that I belong to. It's a feeling I have. Never was comfortable as a follower of anything else. In my personal thoughts, every religion is right. The path to spiritual harmony does not have be the same for every person. The manner we take to find our own spiritual enlightenment doesn't matter as much as reaching it. So if a man is spiritually happy with being a Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, Wiccan, Druid, Hindu, or even Satanist, then he is right. Sure one person may not agree with how or what another person has faith in, but isn't the end result what we are all after? There is no written in stone "right religion." People have had religions long before the events in the bible ever happened, look at the Greeks, the Norse, and even the Egyptians. You going to tell them that they are wrong? I guess what I am trying to get at is this: There is no right or wrong religion, it's all a matter of what we get out of our faith that matters. I'm a Druid, and it's the right religion for me.

I am a believer that there is one religion in the world is right ... I am not recognized religions invented by human beings because each person can invent a religion agrees his ideas ... But there are three divine religions - Judaism , Christianity and Islam ... if you read in the three religions you will discover that is one of the three religions unites the Creator and explains how God created human beings, the sun , the moon, the days , the night, the galaxies , the earth , the sky , the mountains the sea and the entire universe .

Actually, it is not a question of a "religion" being right. All the denominations were created by man. We do not follow nor worship man. Man is fallible, God is infallible. He created the earth and all that is in it and on it. He created man and woman. The Bible is God's word given to man a long time ago and has been passed down through generations so we could have the knowledge that we need to have to obey his instructions. We will not live forever and infinity, we can't. We were designed by God to be here a short time as His children and then spend eternity with Him when we die. He gave us a way to do this by giving His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die and shed blood as a sacrifice, making a way for us to live in heaven for eternity, infinity with them. He gave us free will so we could show our love for Him as our Creator by choice. Having followed His instructions and plan for salvation as outlined in the Bible, we have the hope of spending eternity in heaven. If we choose not to follow the guide, then our eternity will be spent in the place of fire and brimstone where there will be agony forever. But-----don't take my word for this or anyone elses, read the Bible, it has all the answers. Actually the New Testament in Acts 2 tells us how THE church was started. In Acts 2:37-38 was the beginning of the first church where God added those that repented of their sins (they had just found out they had crucified the Messiah they had been waiting for) and were pierced to the heart and asked how to be saved. The apostles, inspired by God, told them what to do. So, it is God's church or Christ's church, not 'Peter, Paul nor Mary's' church. Sorry, I've written so much, but I didn't know where to stop. I have a chronological daily Bible reading guide that will help you to understand all. Just respond back and I will email it to you.

As many religions there are, there's only one Bible. Albeit there are a few translations, but if you read one or two and meditate on it, you're going to get a general idea of what God wants and how he wants to be worshiped. Any religion that deviates from the Bible, can't be one that's "right". So to start off, you have to believe that the Bible is God's word, not mans. And go from there. I guess I'm speaking basically of Christianity and it's many religious forms. But either way, avoid "traditions of men", religions without love, and religions that embrace "sin" and continually contradict what God has said in His Word, the Bible.

Religions are not ever right or wrong, they have nothing to do with the truth of the Universal Creator. At best they are supposed
to be communal safe haven for people of similar belief to help
one another. Unfortunately too many have assumed a role
of Divine rule makers and that's only a product of their own ego.

My "Faith" in God is based on the certainty of His existance. I know with absolute certainty that He exists and that my Salvation is assured... I am of The Church of which Jesus The Christ is The Head. This is not a "religion" and I am certain that it is The Only Way... But,I am also a member of a small concervative Baptist congrigation, and I have questions and diferences with some of the man invented doctrins of this and other "denominations" which include those of The True Christian Faith... But it is with the man portions of the "religions/doctrins" that I have differences... not with that which I know to be from God.

There are those of The True Christian Faith to be found in many of what the world calls "denominations", As are found there also many who only think they are and many who only pretend.

I can not "prove" my faith to you or to any one else. And I do not try to. The proof you seek can only come from God when He decides to reveal it to you... as He has to Those of The True Christian FAith... and if/when God reveals to you, you will also be of The True Christian Faith. Because when TheTruth is revealed to you by God you will not refuse.

There are allot of religions and while most think they are right in there beliefs not everyone can be right.
I personally do not believe we should judge other religions simply because "what if I'm the one who is wrong?"
God is the only one who knows who is right or wrong, but I believe that it does not matter how you serve the Lord, it's matters IF you serve Him.
I do not believe in "organized" religion.
I do not believe you need a "title" to serve God.

There is One God. One Spirit of God. and a eternal soul in each of us. and many religions.once you have prayed, and actually listen for he answers.which will come from within you.in your heart or mind.and then try to do Gods will. then you will be able to understand Gods will for you in this life. spiritually it is not a must to have religion I don't think. but it does help in some ways for some people.you must go inward.and ask the spirit of God to guide you in your spiritual journey. I wish you the very best.

Mine is right for me. That doesn't mean it's right for everyone. I would never insist that my religion was the "one true" religion. I've personally known someone who twisted Wicca into a very dark and "evil" path, focusing only on revenge and letting herself be consumed with hatred. Wicca clearly is not "right" for her.

Blessed be!
