Answer 1

God is in a mans heart, religion is in his head, and the two are not
necessarily mutually inclusive

Answer 2

every religions is only a mediator between a a human and GOD as they believe. since thousand, million years a go that people realise that there must be a creator of this earth,people try to found the creator and try to communication with the creators,so religion is a mediator beet wen peoples/human with their creator,that is not true if every religion claim that they are the true one,peoples has a personal authorities to decide which religion that they admitted.

Answer 3

What makes gravity true? Because it is.

What makes Jesus the only way to the Father? Because He is.

One difference: gravity can be tested while you live on this earth. You have to choose about Jesus while you are on this earth, but there is not an empirical test for it. When you die, and the truth is then apparent, the choice will no longer be available.

Answer 4

All three religions are spawns of Jehovah. Jehovah calls himself a man of war. Is it any coincidence then that it is these three religions that are at war in the Middle East? I think not.

Answer 5

Peace be with you,

We are all in belief of the same GOD, just different Messengers.

All 3 beleive in Adam and Eve all the way through Abraham and Noah and Moses. Yet, the same message came with Jesus and Jews did not accept the new revelation. Then came Muhammed and the Jews and Christians both ended up not accepting the newest revelation.

GOD just revelaed it in stages with these different messengers. The reason we as Muslims say it is the right one is this.

We were told by GOd in the Quran the previous scriptures were tainted by man. That referes to the cut and paste version we have now thanks to to the Council of Nicea. The original Torah and Gospels are lost. So, GOD needed to give us a final warnign and clear a few things up and promised it was the last revelation and he will protect it. it is the only Holy Book of the 3 that still exists today.

GOD told us to go back to worshipping and living our Relgiion the way Abraham used to do. We must accept there was previous revelations and must accpet all the Prophets.

GOD told us he never named the religion. Judaism is the tribal name as they were from Judica and Christianity came from those followers after Jesus and named themselves after him.

GOD told us the revelation in the Arabic language as it was the last of the original language. Remember before it was Aramaic. So one of the very last revelations of the Quran was GOD saying the name of the religion is Islam which means "Submission to GOD alone". The same GOD of Adam, Noah, Moses, Abraham, Jesus and Muhammed (peace be upon them all) , GOD the Creator. We submit to GOD alone and that is what the word Islam means.

Quran 42:13 In matters of faith, He has ordained for you that which He had enjoined upon Noah - and into which We gave thee [O Muhammad] insight through revelation as well as that which We had enjoined upon Abraham, and Moses, and Jesus: Steadfastly uphold the [true] faith, and do not break up your unity therein. And even though] that [unity of faith] to which thou callest them appears oppressive to those who are wont to ascribe to other beings or forces a share in His divinity, God draws unto Himself everyone who is willing, and guides unto Himself everyone who turns unto Him.

Answer 6

Christianity or the other religions:
I would rule out all the eastern religions whether we're talking about Buddhism or Hinduism or Taoism or whatever. All those religions are pantheism. Those religions are premised on the idea that the universe is eternal. It has always been here. Science itself has proven that wrong. The big bang is the start of the universe. It's the start of the 4 dimensions(3 dimensions of space and 1 dimension of time). About 95-98% of the scientist believe in the big bang. Either they're right and all the eastern religions are wrong or the eastern religions are right and the scientists are wrong. Take your pick. I'll go with the scientist since I don't see any reasons for believing in the eastern religions anyhow. That leaves christianity, judaism and islam.
Why not Islam?
Why not Islam? Because I don't believe Islam is a true revelation from God. Islam and Christianity disagree drastically. They both say they are coming from God. They can't both be true, not if they disagree. The 1st law of logic is the ‘Law of Noncontradiction’. It says that if 2 concepts diametrically contradict each other, they can’t both be true. One of them has to be wrong. They disagree in many, many places. Let's just take one of those disagreements. Christianity says that Jesus Christ died 2000 years ago on a cross and that's written in their Holy book, the Bible which they say is coming from God. Islam says Jesus Christ did not die on a cross 2000 years ago and that's written in their Holy book the Koran(which they also say is coming from God). My question is, what actually happened 2000 years ago? You can't have it both ways. Either he did die on a cross or he didn't die on a cross. If he did then Islam is not a true revelation from God because Islam says he didn't die on a cross and it says that's coming fromGod(can God be wrong?). If he didn't die on a cross than christianity is wrong. Why should I believe Muslim scholars who came much later(over 600 years later) over the apostles and writers of the New Testament who were either eye witnesses or they got it from eye witnesses(regardless, all of them lived during that time period). Also, the church fathers and early scholars of the church all testified that he died on a cross. Even extra biblical historians such as Tacitus, Suetonius, Pliny the younger, Josephus and other historians who lived during that time period have testified that Jesus died on a cross. Actually, the only historians that you'll ever find anywhere(religious or secular) who will say that Jesus didn't die on a cross are Muslim historians. If i'm reading an eye witness account of a speech that Richard the lion-hearted gave in about 1190AD and you come up to me and say "no, that's not what he said.....let me tell you what he really said". My answer to you is going to be "why should I believe you over him....he was an eye witness.........you came along 900 years later".
The idea that the scriptures were changed as they were copied is also bogus. The dead sea scrolls proved that. Before we found the dead sea scrolls in 1947 the oldest copy of the book of Isaiah was from about 1100AD. In the dead sea scrolls we found a copy of Isaiah that was copied in the year 100BC(1200 years
earlier). Now we could compare the 2 scrolls and see how many errors were made in 1200 years of copying. The 2 scrolls were 99.5% the same. In 1200 years of copying there was only 19 letters(not words) that were different. Remember, the book of Isaiah was a big book that had 66 chapters and it had only 19 letters different after 1200 years of copying. None of those letters changed the meaning of the book in any way. These guys didn't make errors. This was not just any book. In their eyes, it was the word of God. There were curses attached to people who changed it in any way. Besides, the guys who copied it were professional scribes. They did this for a living.
How do the Muslims explain these differences between the bible and the Koran? They say (against all evidence) that the christians and the jews deliberately corrupted the bible. I've already shown you why that isn't true.
That leaves Christianity or Judaism. Personally I think they're basically the same religion. The main difference is that both of them talk of a Messiah. The jews are still waiting for their Messiah. The christians say that they shouldn't be waiting because their Messiah has already come. His name was Jesus. They just didn't recognize him(but they will someday, the bible makes that clear and, in fact, many of them already have....they call themselves Messianic jews). I just don't see how you can read passages like Micah 5:2, Isaiah 9:6, Isaiah chapter 53, Isaiah 7:14,Zechariah 9:9,Zech. 11:12,13,Psalms 22:1,6-8,14-18, Zech. 12:10,Psalms 16:9,10 and not see that Jesus was that Messiah.
There are other reasons why I believe Christianity is the truth.
The Bible has the signature of God attached to it in many ways. One of those ways is Bible prophecy. The old testament has 333 prophecies about the first coming of Jesus Christ and 456 specific details about his life(all written between 400 and 2000 years before he was born). The 4 gospels in the new testament(Mathew, Mark, Luke & John) tell the story of jesus. Had those 4 gospel writers chosen to not write their gospels, we could still have re-created the whole life of Christ just from the old testament(all written before he was born). In fact, that is how the christians preached the gospel in the first 20-30 years after the death of christ. They preached it from the old testament because the new testament had not yet been written. Man sees history like a person sees the Rose Parade sitting in the stands. The floats that have already gone by him are like the past. The floats in front of him are like the present. The floats still coming are like the future. These prophets in the old testament who wrote about Jesus Christ seemed to be able to see history the way you would see the Rose Parade from a helicopter. They seemed to be able to see the end from the beginning. That tells me that though they were writing these things down the info was not ultimately coming from them but from a higher source because man simply doesn't see history that way. Also, the bible has amazing knowledge about many scientific principals long before these principals were discovered. Seventeen times in the old testament the bible says that God is "stretching the heavens". For thousands of years bible scholar struggles with what that could possibly mean. Then in 1929 Edwin Hubble discovered that the universe was expanding. The bible told us that long ago.
No other religion or Holy Book has this king of knowledge. All this tells me that these prophets in both the old and new testament were not nutcases but true prophets of God.

Answer 7

You want honesty I can not help you. I only know that Islam is right for me. It does not mean what you believe in is false. It is not my business to tell you that your religion is false.

Answer 8

The correct religion is the one that conclusively changes one's heart permanently, for the better of those in your space.

Answer 9

i guess if you talk too much that your religion or whatever your belief is the only one that right and the real truth then its show a certain lack of truthfulness and validity to its existence, you rather push for people to believe it that letting such beliefs speaks for itself and let other people be convince without being told to be convinced!

Answer 10

God desires a relationship, not a religion. You are asking the wrong question.
