how many different religions are there??? can they all be right??

Question

how can you tell which is the right one??

Answer 1

There is only ONE TRUE GOD.
Ephesians 4:3-6 says "earnestly endeavoring to observe the oneness of the spirit in the uniting bond of peace. One body there is, and one spirit, even as YOU were called in the one hope to which YOU were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all [persons], who is over all and through all and in all." So you see, there is One God, and One Faith.

Then we also have Jeremiah 32:39 "And I will give them one heart and one way in order to fear me always, for good to them and to their sons after them" So you see from this scripture that we have been given ONE heart, so our worship has to be in unity.

Here is an article that tells you how to identify the TRUE religion and how the end of false religion is near.

Answer 2

There are lots, and I'm not going to post in all the data. You can check the link below for that.

As to the "rightness" of religions...well, firstly, it's a mistake to try to apply the proofs of scientific rationalism to religion. Religious truths are not facts like in science. They are more like the intuitive insights of poetry.

The "law of the excluded middle" which we in the Western world inherited from the Greek philosophers (Aristotle, I think) is sometimes used as a "proof" that only one religion can be correct..

It says that a thing is either one thing or the other - either true or false, either P or not-P.

This is an argument of logic that doesn't apply to everything, only to two-valued situation, in which there are only two values from which to choose (two variables, and each variable is absolute)..

Religion is NOT a two-valued system. The law of the excluded middle is only inappropriately applied to religion.

So, really, there is no value to the argument that only one religion can be right. This is a logical fallacy, and sets us up in the inane arguments about the provability of religious doctrine.

Pick the religion that feeds your soul, that results in you having applied, consistent, impartial compassion for others; the one that inspires you to leave the earth a better place than you found it; the one that adds to the sum of joy in the world.

Answer 3

There are loads of religions and some religions are actually cults.

The devil has deceived billions of people by confusing mankind into groups of different faiths and denominations. But all these cults and religions have ONE thing in common (apart from Christianity) and that is that they all deny that Jesus Christ is the way to the Kingdm of Heaven.

In other words Satan who has always wanted to be like God has actually ganged up on him!

Answer 4

There is only one God.
Those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.
Religion is man's effort to please God.
A relationship is when you ask Jesus to come and meet you right where you're at.

I don't get wrapped around the axle about doctrine. I have set beliefs I won't compromise, but I believe people can serve God in denominations other than mine. [Assemblies of God]
Worship where you are comfortable as long as what's being taught lines up with the Bible. Test everything against the Scripture. And in all things, keep Jesus first.

Answer 5

There are too many to consider and new ones seem to appear out of nowhere, but the Bible says there is only one faith that is acceptable to God. If you search for the truth, it can be found.

The true religion will practice love. True worshippers are “no part of the world" They are not divided by race or culture, and display “love among themselves.” Rather than killing one another, they are willing to die for one another. They will be peaceable with all people. Therefore they refuse to participate in the wars of any nation.
The true religion will put it's complete trust in God's Word.: Instead of teaching “tradition” and “commands of men as doctrines,” true religion bases its teachings on God's Word, the Bible.
The true religion strengthens families and upholds high moral standards: True religion trains husbands to “love their wives as their own bodies,”and helps wives to develop “deep respect for their husbands,” and teaches children to “be obedient to their parents.”
The true religion will worship God in spirit and truth--"But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him."
The one true faith will follow the example of Jesus and his apostles and minister to others worldwide, despite the persecution and hatred they will have to endure.
We can then feel as the Apostle Paul did as stated at 1 Corinthians 9:16--"Yet when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, for I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel"

Answer 6

As there are about 6 billion people currently alive, there are about 6 billion different religions. I doubt that any two people in history have completed agreed on their religion.

But as there is a God out there, there is a "right" religion. Each person is responsible to find it the best they can. God has given us the records of hundreds who have encountered him in the Bible to help us see how they related to him so we can learn from their examples and experiences. Plus God came as a man, in the form of Jesus Christ, to complete the revealing of himself. He is only that we start looking for Him. Begin by acknowledging the Lordship of Jesus over your life, and allows his resurrection to bring a new life into you. Then you will be able to find Him for yourself.

Fortunately, he is not hiding.

Answer 8

Matthew 7:13-14.....Go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it;  whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it.

Matthew 7:21-23......“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.  Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’  And yet then I will confess to them: I never knew YOU! Get away from me, YOU workers of lawlessness.

Jesus said: “By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.” (John 13:35) Such love reaches across racial, social, and national boundaries, drawing people together in genuine brotherhood. So strong is this love that it sets them apart as being truly different. When the nations go to war, who have enough love for their Christian brothers in other lands that they refuse to take up arms and kill them? That is what early Christians did.

Jesus said that his true followers would be “no part of the world.” (John 15:19) To worship God in a manner that he approves requires that we keep ourselves “without spot from the world.” (Jas. 1:27) Can that be said of those whose clergy and other members are involved in politics, or whose lives are largely built around materialistic and fleshly desires?—1 John 2:15-17.
