Would I believe in a religion if I believe God did not approve of it?

Answer 3

Answer 4

God approves of any worship.

However Yahweh, the Creator of heaven and earth and the gods, specifically states that in order to receive eternal life you must live by every word that ever proceeded from his mouth including His 613 Laws. Matt 4:4

Answer 5

I'd have to say that God wouldn't approve of any religion if it creates social divisions, hate and death...things a loving, merciful God would not want to be associated with. But since the Christian God is apparently Jewish (Jesus was a Jew and if you believe Jesus was God, then its logical to say God is Jewish...go figure) To me, every religions sucks...you don't need religion to find God.

Answer 6

He founded it. He promised to be with it until the end of time. So yes, He approves of it. In fact, it is the only Church authorized and founded by God Himself. Of course He doesn't approve of everything its members do. His Church is holy, and it provides the means for all of its members to be holy, but not all members take full advantage of everything His Church offers.

Answer 7

A better question, IMO, is does God really care about "religion" or does he care about individuals? Or does he/she/it/them care at all unless the individual initiates the relationship first? The only people who think God approves or disapproves are people who think they speak for God. And I've always noticed that God seems to share their condemnation of others and their bigotry. I don't think God is a condemning bigot - do you? In my humble opinion, that's pretty egocentric of those people to think they KNOW the will of deity and think they speak for Deity. Quite frankly, I think it's impossible to know.

Answer 8

It has always been my belief that God is in every religion. I think of all religions as a spoke in a wheel with God in the center. He created us all to be different so he appears in different ways to all people.

Answer 9

Does God approve of me believing in Him? The maker of all Heaven and earth? The Saviour of all mankind, Jesus Christ? I'd give a resounding YES to that question!

Answer 10

Nobody knows the answer to that. Religion is such a personal thing.Even if you belong to an"organized" religion,each of us have our own take on the the different aspects of it. If you don't well to me ,you are not faithful to yourself and God. If you believe he will guide you ,well go with it it

Answer 11

From the beginning the followers of all religions have believed in two seas, -- one salt and one fresh; in two trees -- the tree of good and the tree of evil. For this men have called one another heretics. Misinterpreting the divine commands, men have acquired prejudices and on these prejudices they have waged religious wars and caused bloodshed. Behold what is happening to-day! Men are killing their brothers, believing this to be the cause of salvation, believing that such work is approved by God, believing that those whom they kill will be sent to hell.

BAHA'O'LLAH speaks to humanity in a different tone, declaring humanity to be like the leaves of a single branch, the branches of a single trunk.

For the new day hath dawned -- awaken the sleeping ones! Thanks be to God, you are the beloved of the universe that love the whole world. Praise be to God your affection is for all, you are the enemies of none, lovers of humanity, a precious mine for the souls.

Thus will you disperse the heavy clouds of prejudice. The doors of the kingdom are open to you, the divine good news of the ages has come to you. Go further into the teachings and you will arrive at the splendors of divine mysteries.  102 

The teachings of BAHA'O'LLAH will give to the hearts the necessary impulse for bestowing eternal life and will cause the breeze of the Holy Spirit to waft upon you, so that with a single heart you will turn toward God.

Until now it has been said that all religions were composed of tenets that had to be accepted, even if they seems contrary to science. Thanks be to God, that in this new cycle the admonition of BAHA'O'LLAH is that in the search for truth man must weigh religious questions in the balance of science and reason. God has given us rational minds for this purpose, to penetrate all things, to find truth. If one renounce reason, what remains? The sacred texts? How can we understand God's commands and to what use can we put them without the balance of reason?

The priests are attached to ancient superstitions and when these are not in keeping with science, the priests denounce science. When religion is upheld by science and reason we can believe with assurance and act with conviction, for this rational faculty is the greatest power in the world. Through it industries are established, the past and present are laid bare and the underlying realities are brought to light. Let us make nature our captive, break through all laws of limitation and with deep penetration bring to light that which is hidden. The power to do this  103  is the greatest of divine benefits. Why treat with indifference such a divine spark? Why ignore a faculty so beneficial, a sun so powerful?

I have been asked a question: "How can we know when our actions meet with the approval of God?" Sometimes passion incites us to action; the laws of nature attract us, we obey our senses; the other incentive is the comprehension of the direction of God. We must find out if our actions are divinely inspired and if they do not conform, then it is our sensations which speak. Let us ever weigh our deeds in the scales of the divine teaching.

When we speak let our speech be an outward evidence of the inner light, for we must speak the truth, otherwise we shall not act wisely.

I hope that you will all become eloquent. The greatest gifts of man are reason and eloquence of expression. The perfect man is both intelligent and eloquent. He has knowledge and knows how to express it. Unless man express himself in this day he will remain like a closed casket and one cannot know whether it contain jewels or glass. I desire that all of you may speak on the material and divine sciences with clear and convincing words.

Some one has asked this question, "What are the proofs through which one can establish the existence of God?"  104 

Humanity is divided into two classes: -- one is satisfied with the knowledge of divinity through its attributes and the other strives to understand the mysteries of divinity and be informed of the fundamental principles of divine philosophy. I will speak to you of the scientific proofs which establish the existence of God and I will not quote the scriptural proofs from the Old and New Testaments, or the Koran, with which you are more or less familiar.

Science teaches us that all forms of creation are the result of composition; for example, certain single atoms are brought together through the inherent law of affinity and the result is the human being. A number of primordial atoms have gone into the make-up of a plant, the result of which is this flower. Again, looking into the mineral kingdom, we observe that this law of attraction is working in the same manner. Many atoms go into the composition of a piece of stone which through purification may reach to the station of a mirror.
