Christians, muslims, jews and other theists.... do you realise that no matter how fervent you are in your....?

Question

.... belief that your particular religion...... there is somebody else in this world of a different religion who is just as fervant in his/her belief and also believes that it is only his or her religion that is the right one ?

You can't all be right now can you ?

You could conceivably all be wrong though .

Answer 1

So what! There is nothing to lose by working together as a community to bring peace on earth and justice for all humanity. Some of us are working toward that end without waiting for a messiah to do it for us.

There are no losers in Judaism.

Answer 2

It is called the cultural specific. Each religion is the product of their respective cultures. You make a good point. I once read in anthropology that the Chinese don't like Christianity because of the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghosts. There is no such thing as a good ghost in China (think Casper). Ghosts are bad news. I also saw a pictorial essay about a "devout" Catholic. They had an ancestor shrine prominently installed in the house.

Answer 3

Look, you ask that as if I haven't already thought of that myself. I believe we can't all be right. I have "studied" other religions and have decided that Jesus was right. There was nothing He said (or in the Bible) that I can disagree with. I have rejected all other beliefs except the one called Biblical Chrisitanity. Now, when I die, if I approah the throne and discover that...ohmygosh....it's ALLAH! ont he throne. I don't expect him to say, :"Dawn, you're a nice person and strived to be good, you gave to the poor and didn't sleep around or do drugs....WECOME to Paradise and into my presence!!". NOPE, I would expect ALlah to say, "Dawn you have rejected me and my prophet...since you wanted nothing to do with me while you were alive I expect you want nothing to do with me while you're dead...you are banished from my presnece!!".....welcome to hell.

You have to make a choice. Making no choice is also a choice.

Answer 4

Love? a good number of those structures communicate approximately love. Hasn't added them jointly nonetheless. seems that your diagnosis is erroneous, love has no longer added them jointly. i think of your assessment that we want love fairly than open debate is likewise incorrect. each and every concept gadget must be challenged by making use of another concept gadget. nonetheless it may be spectacular if anybody must be nicer to a minimum of one yet another whilst doing so, yet a number of them have suggestions that lead them to at the same time unique, those would desire to be challenged besides.

Answer 5

of course you hold the real truth. Is that right?
not all of us feel the need to argue our beliefs some of us are content just knowing the truth

Answer 6

this theist totally agrees with you to a point....
each and every person believes they are right , and they wouldnt be part of that religion if they werent ....
but i think they all may be right , to an extent ... that they all carry truth
but .... they are not THE truth

Answer 7

There is only one truth and one word and this is Christ, the Son of the living God,and at the name of Jesus every knee will bend in Heaven and on earth and in the underworld.

Answer 8

but one of us could possibly be right too :) uv only just said the opposite of that
yeah ur right there is probably someone just as ferverant out there..so wats ur point?

Answer 9

Doesn't matter what ur religion is as long as it preaches righteousness.

Answer 10

There is only one God... and it is clear to those who love and serve Him, that He would appear in many guises through many prophets, across many nations, since time began, and only man cannot unite them under His one banner. For some strange reason, man needs war and needs to take, override, destroy, what is his brothers... all that is, in lands, commodities, in wealth, in power, except... the essense of the belief system of his brothers, because man is proud an arrogant and believes only what he sees and touches, whilst God works through the senses and the soul... individually, within us all.

Way back even as a child, when God revealed His existence to me inside coma at age eight, when He saved my life and brought me through many other NDEs too, before I met Christ His son aged thirteen, without a church to lead me, without man's indoctrinated teachings, God made it clear to me inside my soul, He is omnipotent, He is ONE and the same creator of us all.

We speak different languages, translate only from our cultures, and I became unpopular for saying these things inside my youth.

I searched every faith for answers as an adult. and found only dissention and dissapproval of another's church, so opted out and chose to serve my Father in my personal life, on a smaller scale, but without condemning or faiths, sine most but aethism serve Him, under one name or another.

God is the very air we breathe, He is the plants, the birds, the animals, He is the very existence of us all, like a wheel that turns endlessly, He is not for me a man with bushy beard, rather He is a force of love within us all, within all living things, within the earth and space around us, never ending in His reach. He supports us as the spokes within the wheel of life, and what we do to one another, will strengthen or weaken the wheel of life we share, since we are, brothers, sisters, all, no colour, creed, or racial differences can change this basic fact.

One day, all the sceptics, will be proved wrong, when they leave this mortal life and have to answer on how they spent their time whilst here. If we can say in honesty, that though we slipped and fell, time after time, we never once abused our brothers/sisters, and always loved them next to God, before we loved ourselves, we will return to God and know the wonder of His heaven.

I've spent a lifetime being thought ridiculous by a non believers, and seriously found wanting by my non-believing family. Because I woke from coma with more gifts than I can count in the psychic field, gifts that i never wanted and was terrified to own for half my life... until, I slowly adapted to them, and began to understand that my personal suffering (and I've had enough to fill six life times) are merely a part of my maturing inside spirit. Necessary for the day, He takes me home to be with Him.

I've been there, seen it, felt it, and ever since the age of eight, He let me keep that memory and nothing in this life can ever change it, can ever stop my faith, and trust me, all the bad stuff that has followed since... has been designed to do just that!

He's answered me with miracles that few will believe, but without which, I would have died many times over, many years ago.

I embrace all faiths that turn to God... but chose to be a Christian, because Jesus came to me, since God put me in His path... a kid of just thirteen, no churchy family, no adult there to lead, no peer group pressure... just God, looking out for me... and making me aware of how He came on earth to die and ressurect us all... with His eternal life.

Crikey... I hate sermons too... I'm far from churchy, trust me... but I must bear witness now... must stand to be counted in this time of attack upon believers... and because my life is almost done at the age of 61... I made a promise the last time that God brought me back from death... that should He let me see my children grow to adult life... I would be His advocate, and use my written skills to tell the world what He has done for me. Since it is all I have to offer. A small return, for the amazing safety net and proof that He's afforded me.

God Bless everyone.
