How do we know for certain that one religon is right over the others, besides the bible is there really proof?

Answer 1

No. The sole "proof" for Judaism is the Bible, for Christianity the New Testament, for Islam the Koran, for Hinduism the Vedas, etc. etc. etc. You'll find that every religion basically has the same kind of "proof" behind it, with one qualification. Every religion makes certain claims about the way the world is structured, and these claims can be evaluated. You may not be able to "prove" any of them, but you can certainly look into their claims and decide if they make any sense to you.

Answer 2

No religion is right over the others. Religions are social / cultural institutions that developed around the teachings of one or a group of teachers that were recognized as in touch with spiritual truth or enlightened or were in possession of the knowledge of God. What developed after those teachers passed was a distortion of their teachings by their followers that did not have the same access to spiritual truth. Competition between various religious leaders only served to warp and distort the original teachings. Fortunately every single original teacher of truth left pointers to every individuals internal connection to the source of all or God or Heaven or Allah or enlightenment. It is all the same, people just use different words to describe it and different people emphasize different aspects of it. There is no proof, there is only what truth you can discover within your own connection to spirit/ God/ Heaven/ Allah/ Jehovah / enlightenment. Measure everything anyone tells you about your spiritual nature / God / the source of all / anything spiritual against your own internal truth sensor. Determine for yourself how you feel about it; whether it feels true to you. Never just accept what someone else tells you as the truth even if that person seems to know more than you. Your connection within is the only authority you have; it is the only authority anyone truly has. Disregard those that would try to frighten you with horrendous stories of eternal damnation; question their motives, there is not one that does not have something to gain by frightening you into submission. Stay true, seek your answers earnestly and keep questioning everything.

Answer 3

Sorry to say that the Bible is not proof. Most religions have their own book that is "proof" that they're right.

So, no, there is no way to say that one is right over the others. You have to believe what you believe - without proof. That's why it's called faith.

You are further along than other people at least giving it a thought. I don't think you can consider yourself a real believer if you haven't considered this question.

Me? I think your question suggests that NONE are right!

Answer 4

The bible is no proof; that would be circular logic - "it's true because it says it's true, and I know it's right because it's true".




Nobody can prove any gods, much less a specific god, exist; many people will tell you their god exists but no others, but will never be able to prove it, even if they think so. Some will threaten you with eternal pain or promise eternal joy to get you to believe in their god; these are all stories, created for people who were scared long before we understood the universe. Now we have no more reason for these superstitions.

Answer 5

If you think the bible is proof that christianity is right you are an idiot. It does just the opposite..but i'm sure that was just an error in writing out the qustion so i'll just ignore that, answer your question, and say 'no'. There's no proof one religion is right..or any of them.

Answer 6

yes, there is. There have been archaeological digs of certain biblical areas (red sea, mt sanai, ect) that were mentioned and they have found artifact mentioned in the bible and you can see gods miracles in everybody around you., all the life and creation he made. Also some of the questions it took scientists like Sir Isaac Newton to answer were answered way before his existence, like if the Earth was flat or round.

Answer 7

i agree with adam b - his answer leaves out one thing though - the only faiths he mentions who followers actually claim to have the only right book are christianity and islam. hare krishnas are the only other group that claims the same thing.- see my other questions, i did the "research" : ) all other faiths acknowledge in their scriptures that every book or spiritual path that does not hurt the earth and other people is right for it's followers providing that they do not push their beliefs on others. just something to consider as you continue to study.

take care : )

Answer 8

It is quite interesting if you really start to study the bible. It actually passes four tests. It holds up literarily. If you study it from just a literary standpoint it passes. It holds up archeologically. It is historically accurate. And from the standpoint of prophecy The Holy Bible is so far 100% right on.

Here is the part that intrigues me though. The Holy Bible consists of 66 books. Written by people in different time periods, cultures, on different continents. And if taken in context, it flows from begining to end harmoniously.

Study it. You tell me.

Answer 9

The Bible is the only proof. But, I do beleive that there is some truth, however minute or great, in every religion.

Answer 10

religion is retarded, people who believe in religion are retarded too. the bible was created by a group of retards who wanted money and power. Jesus was also retarded because he came from a poor family. not a single person who had anything to do with religion was properly educated, they all became one through violence and at the point of the sword. so if someone believes in religion, that's only because they are retarded.
one answer is never the right answer, if people believe it, its only because they are retarded and cant take too much information or cant be bothered.
