What is the difference between the religions?

Question

It seems most Religions all believe in one God, although they call this God by different names and there are variations on his word.

-Christianity seems to various different sectors, they all seem to have The Holy Trinity. What are the differences, between them, i.e., Protestants, Baptists, Lutherans, etc.?

-Catholicism has The Holy Trinity, but in addition they seem to pray to the Saints. I understand in order to become a Saint they must prove three miracles. What qualifies as a Miracle?

-What are the names of these Saints and what miracles did each perform?

-Why do they pray to these Saints instead of just praying to God?

-Do the other forms of Christianity also pray to these Saints?

Answer 1

May be your knowledge is limited to the two major Divisions. There have been to this day, the Christians who do not believe in Trinity, believe The Christ was the Prophet and not The Son or The God; that The Bible is a Biography of a holy man written by humans; they donot celebrate Easter. Four Presidents of USA have belonged to this Faith, called The Unitarians Church.

Answer 2

The saints of Catholicism are too numerous to mention. The three miracles thing is really a later development of the religion. Saints are prayed to as intermediaries between man and God. It is believed that they have a bit more sway, as it were. The various Protestant religions are variations of Roman Catholicism, differing in some belief. Most Protestant religions were started in protest of the central power of the Pope and Rome.

Answer 3

How do I know which religion is right?
This is a difficult question to answer because it involves discussing some principles that the person you are witnessing to may or may not agree with. For example, does he or she agree with you that truth is knowable, that God would attempt to communicate with His people, or that only one religion may be right? Usually, I start by acknowledging the difficulty of coming to an easy answer. However, I tell them that I do have an answer; I am sure it is the right one, because it is an answer based on evidence. What kind of evidence? Prophecy and its fulfillment (see question # 34), Jesus and His miracles, the resurrection of Christ, etc. Then I ask that person if he or she knows of these things happening in other religions.(1) The answer is invariably, "No." Then I point out that they have only happened in Christianity. If any religion were true, Christianity fits the bill.
Religion is whatever you feel is right.
How do you know what you feel is right? Haven't your feelings ever turned out to be wrong? Are you are saying that what you feel determines truth? If so, then you are putting yourself in the place of God, and looking to yourself for what you "feel" is right.
If religion is whatever you feel is right, then that could lead to chaos. What if some people had a religion where they felt stealing was acceptable? And what about lying and cheating? Would you trust someone who believed in a religion that felt it was alright to steal, lie, and cheat?
Hitler felt killing Jews was right. He was wrong. The Bible says that the heart is deceitful and untrustworthy (Jer. 17:9). If you could come to know truth by what you felt, then the Bible, which is the revelation of God, didn't need to be written. But, it has been written, and it has revealed that only God is the Source of truth, not your feelings.
I've never known truth to contradict itself. What if someone felt that something was right, and another person felt it was wrong? Would they both be right? If your statement is true, then how could there be a contradiction like that, if feelings determined truth?
All religions are different paths to the same place.
If all religions are different paths to the same place, then why do the paths contradict each other? Does truth contradict itself? Let's review the teachings of just three religions:
Buddhism is pantheistic and says there is no personal God and everyone can reach Godlikeness on his own. Islam says that Jesus was just a prophet, and not the only way to God. Christianity says that there is a personal God, and that the only way to Him is through Jesus (John 14:6). If these three religions are, as you say, different paths to the same place, then why do they contradict each other? Does truth contradict itself?

Answer 4

Each religion provides a different path to the same end, reuniting with the Divine.

Catholics are Christians by the by.

As there are a lot of religions I will give a link where you can get the information you hopefully seek.
