Wouldn't it be wounderful if religions respected each other?

Question

Almost all religions want the same outcome, people loving,helping,and teaching one another, so why are religions against each other? I believe in one God , but religions just give God different names.One love.

Answer 1

Yes, only one name can save. Romans 10:9-13. 9.That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him form the dead, you shall be saved; 10. for with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.John 3:3.3. Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”John 12:4747. “And if anyone hears My sayings, and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. Ezekiel 18:3232. “For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone who dies,” declares the Lord God. “ Therefore, repent and live.”Daniel 12:1-21. “Now as that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued. 2. “And many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace and everlasting contempt.”Acts 4:12.12. “And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved.”Hosea 13:4.4. Yet I have been the Lord your God Since the land of Egypt; And you were not to know any god except Me, For there is no savior besides Me.Ephesians 2:8-9.8. For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9. Not as a result of works, that no one should boast.Luke 13:23-30.23. And someone said to Him, “Lord, are there just a few who are being saved?” And He said to them, 24. “Strive to enter by the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. 25. “Once the head of the house gets up and shuts the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock on the door, saying, ‘Lord, open up to us!’ then He will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from.’ 26. “Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets’; 27. And he will say, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from; Depart from Me, ALL YOU EVILDOERS.’28. “There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth there when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but yourselves being cast out.29.”And they will come from east and west, and from north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God. 30.”And behold, some are last who will be first and some are first who will be last.”2 Corinthians 5:17.17. Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.Hebrews 6:18.18. In order that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have strong encouragement, we who have fled for refuge in laying hold of the hope set before us.2 Corinthians 5:8.8. We are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.Ecclesiastes 12:13-14.13. The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person. 14. For God will bring every act to judgment, everthing which is hidden, whether it is good or evil.1 Peter 5:8.8. Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls about like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.Luke 10:16.16. “The one who listens to you listens to Me, and the one who rejects you rejects Me; and he who rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me.”2 Timothy 3:12.12. And indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.Amos 5:18-20.18. Alas, you who are longing for the day of the Lord, For what purpose will the day of the Lord be to you? It will be darkness and not light; 19. As when a man flees from a lion, And a bear meets him, Or goes home, leans his hand against the wall, And a snake bites him. 20. Will not the day or the Lord be darkness instead of light, Even gloom with no brightness in it?Hebrews 9:27.27. And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes the judgment,Luke 8:52.52. Now they were all weeping and lamenting for her; but He said, “Stop weeping, for she has not died, but is asleep.”2 Chronicles 6:36.36. “When they sin against thee (for there is no man who does not sin) and Thou art angry with them and dost deliver them to an enemy, so that they take them away captive to a land far off or near,Matthew 24:36.36. “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.Matthew 25:41.41. “Then He will also say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels;John 8:32.32. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”Matthew 28:18.18. And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.Matthew 7:14.14. “For the gate is small, and the way is narrow that leads to life, and few are those who find it.

Answer 2

You're a very enlightened girl. You answered your own question better than anyone else!
I would like to add, that all religions are written by mortal man, and humans have egos and imaginations to embelish stories. also if they wanted power over their followers, the grander the story the more power they had. It's not their fault, it's human nature.
Back in those days, you could tell any thing ,using a little bit of
magic, and people would believe it.
They believed a lot of things like witch craft and that the earth was flat, and the earth was the center of the solar system for example.
Not all things that are written are false, but which ones are and which ones aren't is the paradox.
There for I personally do not have a relion to speak of, but everyone needs some basic rules too live by and and all religions give that to the differnt cultures. The tower of babel not only gave everyone a different language, but it gave different religions too.
One day we'll all know the truth and come together, but not today.

Answer 3

Most religions do respect each other. The Muslims do not believe Jesus was Christ but they believed he was a great prophet. Most religions teach the same central idea, in fact, the three of the most popular religions all go back to Abraham.

The problem is that people misinterpret the word/words of God. They take the message out of context and use them to preach hate. Can't we all just get along?!?!?

Answer 4

I think religions are the most dangerous creation of human, yes I believe in God but I am not agree with the thought who say there is lots of Gods. Every person has only one God.

Now a days every person have faith in religion even when it helps him and when it give him pain then no religion no God.

And all the persons are equal and we should have to respect their feeling so it’s too good if all the religions respect each other.

Answer 5

But historically as well as at present, religions aren't just choices that people make about what group to associate with. They have always been "I'm right and therefore everyone who disagrees with me is wrong." How can it be any other way when religions present, supposedly with god's authority, the teaching that only their beliefs are correct? What you refer to as loving, helping, and teaching each other is a part of religion but can equally be a part of atheism. It is a philosophy, not a religion. Spirituality is wonderful because it lets you discover the ultimate truths. But religion is the death of spirituality, the place where a central authority says "I'm right so you are wrong."

Answer 6

The best religion class I ever had was in my podunk high school in the middle of nowhere; we had a philosophy & literature teacher who insisted on teaching us about various religions around the world. He wasn't trying to change our religion or tell us that one was better or worse, just educating us on the various religions and letting us discuss them openly. I'm sure plenty of people in that little town freaked out when my classmates told their uptight parents what we were learning (honestly, it was such a conservative area that even though I was Catholic I couldn't go to religious ed with the other kids because I didn't go to THEIR Catholic church), but it was very eye-opening to just learn about other religions from an unbiased source.

My husband and I are Catholic and raise our children in the Catholic faith, but I don't really care what religion anyone else is. It doesn't impact my life if or how they worship; and my worship doesn't impact anyone else. I respect other faiths and cultures and in return want respect for my beliefs. I don't want anyone to "save" me or challenge my beliefs, just as I don't want to save or challenge anyone else. And I am always open to a religious discussion, not a debate, between interested parties.

If more people, not religions, were open-minded and respectful of others' beliefs the world would be a peaceful place.

Answer 7

No religions creating a problem it all are human mind think but god did not made any religions so why we should binding with these religions. Education is must to resolve all this kinds of problem. Religions is no matter but respect to each person

Answer 8

People give God different names..And all religions dont teach the same..Outcome which people want is the same though..Because religion is a belief , a system... But what man needs is relationship with God.. and its not believing in God that gives joy and peace and harmony..But it is to know God and have relationship with Him...U said u believe in God..God is love but Love is not God..Even the demons believe God..But do u have relationship with God..Do you know how can u have relationship with God...God of Love, Justice..Who is your God..??

Answer 9

Its not the religions thats creating the hate
Religions were there long before the world was so near to one another.Imagine, how could people from ancient china know about christanity or the bubbhism from India till people started travelling and exploring?

Its just now that the technology has brought the world closer, that people are getting insecure and confused about what to believe and what not to.

Which has led to people getting territorial about their beliefs and faith

Answer 10

To take that a step further, it would be nice if *people* respected one another. It's the people who have the religious beliefs that don't respect the beliefs of others. We're all in a religion for the same purpose, we just possess different facets of beliefts. It's a shame we all can't just get along.

Answer 11

There is only one God,one salvation,GOD THE ALMIGHTY,who made us in his own image to worship him n gave us d supreme command of LOVE ONE ANOTHER,but human has made so many religions thus disobeying GOD.So if no love for each other no religion,no amount of prayers, no other god can give u peace n assure u heaven.
