The answer to that question "would be" that God made it that way. Now without assuming that to be a true statement, what is the next question? I'd say it would be, "DID God make such a religion with those conditions?" How to answer that? If you want to examine religions, then compare their gods. Can they be reconciled? Can Allah and YHVH be one and the same? Would Krishna fit in there too? Etc., etc.
My take on the situation is that if think you can please a just and holy God by your own efforts, religion may help you feel you are accomplishing that. But if living eternally without pain or sorrow with your Creator in a reality beyond the most wonderful imaginations of all mankind combined, just receive it, because that's what the Lord Jesus Christ has already purchased for you. All you have to do is accept it.

It wouldn't for those who want to please themselves but God does not have 250 or 300 or 500 different imnstructions separately for each different religion, there is only one truth the rest bend their bible knowledge to suit themselves even though the Bible says the same thing to all so all religions cannot be right especially when their beliefs conflict,either they are true or they are false If I told you the sky is blue and someone said it was yellow would you say that we were both right? remember you are not blind you can see for yyiur self what the sky's colour isand you can tell that one is true and the other is not both cannot be right because they say different things so they conflict and therefore one is true, one is false, or would you just go along with the answer you like? While this is an option it may not be the right option even though, it is your choice to confirm the truth and the false you choose which you will go with right? So in effect you choose to what you will go with dio you not Therefore the Bible says that God will bring vengence upon those that do not know God and those that do not obey him! (2Thessalonians1:8) This may seem unfair to some but it is not, in fact it is very fair because the Bible truth is available to all and they have been warned but yet they refuse to even look into it in most cases, so if you heed the warning you will be saved if not you will incur upon yourself the vengence of God, yes it is serious very serious, Just like you as a landlord would oust tennants from your house that they are destroying and you have a right to do so so God has a right to decide who will be allowed to inhabit the dweling place he has for the right kind of inhabitants.one religion is right if we are to ber in God's place or the place that belongs to him we have to respect his laws, that is right and fair for everyone just like road laws if everyone was driving in whatever manner they wished what sort of ckaos whould there be on the roads therefore we have road laws, therefore we have God's laws to be right for everyone, everywhere! Or would you want to drive on a road where everyone drove in the way that they wanted with no respect for the other persons on that road?I think not I think you would want some respect and safety, this is the reason God has rules that are to be obeyed for the good of all! And this will allow for all to live in a good environment

well i have a faith builders list, and one miraicle on it is:
i was going to a new church and i was very upset because i didnt have any friends there.
i was strongly thinking about not going one sunday.
but i just knew that God made it
clear in my heart that if i went that Sunday, i would have friends.
and i went, and after sunday school, i was hanging around, and some people came up to me and introduced themselves.
and that's how I met four of my closest friends. and i also met MANY more people and became friends with alot because of God's blessing that day.
To understand how this was a miraicle, you must understand that i was EXTREMELY shy,
and only talked when i HAD to and even then said very little. i also wore glasses that made people think of me as unattractive
there are many other miracles that happened.
my testimony alone probably will not be enough to lead you to Jesus, but there is this text i would like to share with everyone that reads this, I would copy it in here, but its easier to read on its website because of text formatting.
it is not spam, i dont even think there are any ads on the site.

Jesus didn't come to start a religion. He came to show us how to have a relationship with Him. And we do this by following His plan of Salvation. Which is Acts 2:38 believe, repent, baptism in His name for the remission of sins, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost wiyh the evidence of speaking in an unknown language, to help overcome sinful behaviors. This is how to have eternal life with God. Experience Him today and say goodbye to guilt forever!!!

None are in my view,only spirituality,God lies within the hearts and minds of us all and trys to get his message out although many do not hear his words or heed his advise or council.We need no doctrines written by man years ago for a different culture.God will lead you if you just follow his inner guidance.His mind talks to yours and puts you on the right path

Why wouldnt it be? What exactly does your personal expectations of the formation of a religion entail?
Everything is done in Gods time and he chose to reveal Jesus when he did and it has certainly left an impression on humanity!

When Jesus Christ comes back for the millinnium, that is what will happen when the beast & false prophet get thrown into the lake of fire and the devil is bound in the abyss.
Well then Jesus is King of kings and Lord of lords and the devil isn't telling people to rebel against Jesus and isn't telling people to kill Christians, etc.
So, His religion is to Love God and love others. Faith Hope & Love is everlasting.

Excellent point.
"One man's meat is another man's poison;" how much more so, then, if those men are separated by continents and centuries?
But people want their religion ready-made. They don't care how stupid and ridiculous their religious beliefs are, as long as they don't have to do any original work on the subject for themselves. They'd rather "believe" than think.

Because the Bible says, 'In the fullness of time, He brought His Son into this world for the remission of sins.
If that had not happened, no one would be going to heaven.
No one deserves to go to heaven, so we can only get there by a relationship with God and with His Son.

Because that is the original idea of God to have no other gods but Him and for us to be united in love and understanding. One day we shall see that we have made such a mess of things, and I hope peace will be attained throughout the world. The only other solution is that when God is finally fed up with us He will destroy this world, He has done it before......
