Religion issue?

Question

does anyone think that all religion (with one god) is connected. i believe in different parts from some religions and one god and jesue, reincarnation, etc. what is y'all's opinion?

Answer 1

I'm sure someone does, but not me.
God is not a buffet, and I believe in one truth........

In Judges 17:6, we read, “In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.” Commentaries refer to this period of Israel’s history as the “dark ages.” When the people had great “freedom,” they behaved with no sense of right and wrong other than doing what they thought was right. Chaos ensued.

Today, we live in a time when “freedom” is valued above morality; like ancient Israel, we haven’t the haziest notion how to exercise those liberties in a godly way. Listening to the voice in our hearts hasn’t stopped Western civilization from developing a moral stench that offends countries the world over.

Answer 2

No--all religion is not connected--if it's not biblical (like reincarnation),then it's not of God.
Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6

Answer 3

Good Question...and for kj7gs to think that all religions are not connected...he really needs to read the Bible.

Have you ever really paid attention to the Bible? Do you realize how many religions in this world read from that one book? How can all of these religions not be connected? Even the Jews read part of the Bible (the Torah, after all, is the first 5 books of the Old Testament).

Culture determines the difference in God. If every religion in the world today said "My God is the Only God," and every one of them was right, think of how many Gods there are.

A great story was once shared with me. Think of God as a Giant Squid, each of it's tentacles attached to a different culture or area of the globe. Each tentacle represents a different religion or spirituality. Notice the similarity...they are all attached to the same big Giant Squid.

Every religion teaches the same basic thing: If you believe in God and are a good moral person, you are saved, enlightened or whatever. I believe that if you follow the teachings of your particular God, whomever that is, then you are on the path to your own righteousness. And to all the fundamentalists...remember, Jesus taught us to love our fellow man. He dined with sinners, washed the feet of whores and tax collectors, and never judged them. He allowed them to find their way on their own.

By the way...check out your mythology... Jesus, Dionysus, Osiris, Mithras, Bacchas, Attis, Adonis...all shared the same story..."Here are just a few of the stories that were told about the godman of the Mysteries. His father is God and his mother is a mortal virgin. He is born in a cave or humble cow shed on the 25th of December before three shepherds. He offers his followers the chance to be born again through the rites of baptism. He miraculously turns water into wine at a marriage ceremony. He rides triumphantly into town on a donkey while people wave palm leaves to honour him. He dies at Easter time as a sacrifice for the sins of the world. After his death he descends to Hell, then on the third day he rises from the dead and ascends to heaven in glory. His followers await his return as the judge during the Last Days. His death and resurrection are celebrated by a ritual meal of bread and wine, which symbolize his body and blood. "On the basis of this and much other evidence we now believe that the story of Jesus is not the biography of an historical Messiah, but a myth derived from the Pagan Mysteries.

Answer 4

I used too, and the mainstream of most religions today generally do, but when people go fanatical over obscure and ancient tracts that don't fit in the modern world they start doing things like blowing up buildings and people. But I don't believe in gay bishops or gay marriage anymore than in bestial marriages, pedophilia or cannibalism, people do and have done all those things to throughout recorded history, and perhaps with no intentions of "harm" (in their mind) to others, but the Bible and faith I was raised with said they were bad things, I'm not saying stone the perpetrator to death, but I'm not going to rubberstamp approval because the church leadership says it's the politically correct thing to do. Jesus was crucified for being politically incorrect, now I'm not looking for sainthood either, frankly the older I get the less sure I am that humanity is worth any sacrifice on my part, I look out for me and the people I care about, I'll share advice when asked but that's it, otherwise it's keep your head down, butt covered, and know when "discretion is the better part of valor". And pray things work out for the best or if you must act that you have the brains and courage to do the right thing when needed. That's about it.

Answer 5

Each of the major world religions make mutually exclusive truth claims. If "a" is true, then "b" cannot be the same as "a" at the same time and in the same way. It's the law of logic called the mutually excluded middle.

Reincarnation cannot be true of the Bible is true.
Islam cannot be true if Christianity is true, they both make mutually exclusive truth claims.

Islam says the Bible is false and corrupted, and Mohammed is the final Prophet of God. In John 14:6 "Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me."

Answer 6

I think all religions are connected, but there is a Goddess as well as a God. And mine is not the only system of belief that has multiple gods, male and female, so no, all religions are not connected.

Unless you mean that all religions who only hold there to be one god are connected, not all religions are connected under one god. Then I think yes, all monotheistic religions are connected, but that's nothing new.

Answer 7

To be politically correct, all religions are equal, all lead to the same place, and none are to be criticized as incorrect; however, at least one religion is incorrect. Consider this: if you knew one of your friends was wasting hours of his time each week listening to lies, would you try to stop him? You would surely at least alert him!
The first elimination of false religion springs from Jesus’s assertion, “I am *the* way and *the* truth and *the* life” (John 14.6). If Jesus was right, all other religions are useless lies, but if there exists any other true way to life, Christianity is useless lies. Many other religions also claim to be the “one true” religion, and the same holds true for them.
Buddhism, on the other hand, teaches the opposite. Many lamas say, “I will not convert you to Buddhism. If you wish to become a good Buddhist, simply remain in your current religion and be the best you can be.” However, some religious extremists, for instance, the crusaders, believe that their gods have called them to kill off “heathens” in some extremely politically incorrect ways. Does the massacre of Buddhists therefore please the Buddha?
In America, citizens have the right to be as stupid as they want as long as their stupidity does not harm others. Americans’ right to choose to be stupid has grown to the extent that imparting knowledge has become offensive. Through their rush not to offend, Americans have contented themselves to stand idly by as their friends condemn themselves to death.

Answer 8

The core beliefs or convictions of the top 5 religions of the world are very different. They all have a different view on who God is, how we can find favor with God, and how we know what we know about God.

Answer 9

No reincarnation--ONLY in a glorified body in Heaven, is what I believe.

Only ONE God, His son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

I believe we may ALL have a touch of what God wants us to know.
I believe mankind separated beliefs into different religions.
That's OK, tho.
I KNOW what I believe and that's in the One God.

Answer 10

Biblically there's two Gods: Law & Grace
and two sorts of Religion: Impure & Pure.
