With so many religions in the world, do you think that god only approves of just one?

Question

Not using our own opions, but that of what the bible really says!!!

If we all believe in jesus, wouldn't we all agree we would want to follow his foot steps, even if it dont fit into our lives, meaning we would need to make changes, in holidays, our thinking, and our day to day lives, and not always think well "as long as i love god everything is fine and im saved". something for us to think about.

Answer 1

If all groups are saying something different, only one can be right
Matthew 7:22
“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.

I've studied the bible with the Jehovah's Witnesses, and have found them to be the only ones who make sense, and who do what the Bible actually say's.

For example
There is no trinity, that defeats the main purpose of Jesus. To subject himself completely to Gods will.

Luke 22:42
saying: “Father, if you wish, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, let, not my will, but yours take place.”

Also, John 1:1 is miss translated and should read

'In [the] beginning the Word was, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god'.

But if you agree to disagree on that, all other verses talk about Jesus and God being seperate. Actually the trinity came about at the 'Council of Nicaea' in the year 325, and is an idea thought up by men.

Matthew 15:9
It is in vain that they keep worshiping me, because they teach commands of men as doctrines.’”

That's just one thing and there are many more about Christmas being pagan based, hell not existing, most peoples future being on a paradise earth (psalm 37:29 & Matthew 5:5), they're the only ones to use Gods name (Exodus 6:3) and there's a lot more.

They do a free Bible study, and I definitely recommend it :)

Answer 2

The Bible calls the true religion "the way" and Jesus said that the road to life was narrow and few would find it. Not only that, but the Bible says that Jesus' first act when he turns his attention to cleaning up the earth is to put it in the minds of the governments to close all of the false religions. Then Satan will point out the fact that the true religion is standing without locks on its doors and he will cause the governments to attempt to close it as well but that is like touching God's eyeball and he will retaliate.

Answer 3

Logically, I would say yes, as in I think there is one that God would tell everyone to go to. If you believe in God, and you believe that he is loving, kind, just and merciful, then I don't know how you could believe otherwise.

Every religion out there has different teachings, and God I don't believe God is a confused person. I also don't think he would want us to be confused, which is what he would be doing approving contradictory religions. The problem lies in man, who interprets things how they would like and in what manner suits them best. God gave man agency/free will and we must use it, but it wouldn't make sense if we could just choose anything and that would be fine.

Anyway, yes. The problem is finding it. Luckily, God answers prayers.

Answer 4

Ok... You want an answer to whether a god would approve of other religions or not...but you only want bible answers...which will largely come from people who are of religions that follow the bible and most may be biased that only their religion would be approved... Got that?

I'm sorry, but with so many religions in the world, if a deity would only approve of one then IMO that is just more absurdness that points to it not being real.

Answer 5

I don't believe that God approves of religion at all. Christianity is not a religion it is a belief. The religions are all based on mans inability to agree with each other on that belief. I think God would approve if you just believed, everything else just falls into place after that. Merry Christmas

Answer 6

Let me quote Ben Franklin on this one: "Different Sects like different Clocks may all be near the matter, ' tho they don't quite agree."

He meant Christian sects of course, but he was very open-minded, as one example where he mentions native American religion shows.

When people study religion, Christians, Jews, and Muslims, are said to follow "Abrahamanic" religions. Their three Books mention the same God, mention Abraham. The Qran mentions Mary, and mentions Jesus as being born of Mary and of the Spirit of God.

Of course they'd kill each other to the last man rather than agree with all the similarities.

Which is too bad

Answer 7

God only approves of the work of Jesus Christ. There are His people who He has made alive by the Power of His Spirit and Word in many "religions or denominations" There are also many in them who have never known the power of Christs Resurrection in their life. That's why Jesus taught about the wheat and the tares. They will always be mixed till the day He comes and separates them.

Answer 8

God did not specify any religion, The Bible says " Believe on Jesus Christ, and ye shall be saved" God did not say to follow any religion, just Jesus..

Answer 9

The Bible doesn't say this is the Church so it has to be personal opinion. It contains many characterics of what the Church should be like, so you have to search on your own for the best fit.

I personally believe all Churches contain some degree of truth. Most people can find fellowship in any Church following the scriptures.

Answer 10

I believe that God gave us many religions so that each of us would be able to understand him in our own language. but we as people have destroyed what God had put together for us and made it to fit our own life styles. believe that God only wants us to do the right thing by him and every one that lives on earth.
