Is your religion superior to others?

Question

Do people of your religion exhibit more love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23) than people of other religions?

If in general the people of your religion do not have greater fruits than those of other religions, then what makes it superior?

Thanks for sharing any thoughts you have.

Answer 1

Yes - My religion is superior to others. Others religion people also will feel the same way. Because it is due to the age long faith all of them have reposed. Each will have points to tell high about their religion and it is quite common.

It is also for the persons to select any religion and practice it if they feel it is good. So far as i am concerned, our Religion Hinduism is superior most for me, and i do not allow any controversy on this, from others and i also do not go into arguments with others on this point. The age long traditions and values and enrichment of Hinduism is something can not be explained. For instance our Bhagwat Gita alone will be the testimony for this. See even today lot of researches and interpretations of our Gita is going on and even the western people are trying to find the inner meaning of this Great Gita. Not only Gita, each and every epics and Puranas etc. etc. are so grate and Day by day new meanings and theories are being evolved.

I do not want to compare the other religions as I have not even crossed the ocean called Hinduism and understood its value fully. Other two great religions Christianity and Islam have only Bible and Koran, which I feel no such high moral values like Hinduism have. So Our religion HINDUISM is far superior than all others. -

Answer 2

I believe there is no superior religion. What is right for you may not be right for someone else. I do believe in God but I respect those who don't. My religion is the best for me - it helps put a perspective in my life, it helps me to become a better person. I believe if people gave it a chance, they would see it was the real thing and perhaps superior - but that is because I believe whole heartedly in my religion. It is who I am and it is what keeps me going. As long as someone is trying hard and giving to others (service, time, love, etc) then we are all equal. The only time anyones religion would be superior to someone else is when someones religion teaches harmful things. I believe in God the Eternal Father and in His son Jesus Christ and in the Holy Ghost with all my heart and soul.

Answer 3

Other religions are not lower but misslead and do not have the athority to baptise and preach the gospel

Are religion is not superior but even Christ's house was a house of order. He held the holy Melchezidic and Aronic Priesthood which only two churchs on this earth claim to have.

These are spoken of in the bible.

The catholic and mormon

One must be true. Through years of study and research of scriptures and prayer I have come to find that the Mormon church is true and led by God.

I hope my research has saved you time, effort and confusion.

Answer 4

those of my religion show those lovely qualities you mentioned ...
but I am sure there are those in other religions who show the same qualities
heck i am sure some without religion show those qualities
so I have no reason to believe my religion is in any way superior to others or that I am more superior than anyone else

Answer 5

I don't know any other people of my religion. It's just what works for me really.

And surely, everyone who has a religion believes that it is 'superior' to any other, or wouldn't they 'convert' to the 'better' one?

Which isn't to say theirs is actually superior, just that it works for them. Well, that's what I think.

Answer 6

I don't believe that it's the religion, but the person. There are all kinds of people in every religion.

Answer 7

"Superior" is such a charged word to use. How about considering the uniqueness of religious beliefs?

Only one of the earth's religions, Christianity, possesses all of the following attributes:

1. Other religions revolve around their founder’s teachings, rules, regulations, and rituals. Christianity, however, revolves around a Living Person, the Risen Lord Jesus Christ.
2. Christianity is unique because it is based upon historical facts and the revelation of God in the Bible.
3. Christianity is the only religion that offers the Assurance and Security of Salvation
4. It is the only religion that teaches that salvation is a free gift, unmerited by anyone, of god’s grace. There is nothing a person can do to merit salvation, since it is received through faith, apart from works.
5. Other religions were started because of man’s attempt to search for the supernatural, search for the truth, appease their innate sense of sin and guilt, and find favor with his god. But Christianity is the account of God’s search for mankind. "For the Son of Man has come to see and to save that which was lost" (Luke 19:10; John 10:10). His love for us was the reason He has revealed Himself to us through His Son Jesus and by His grace we are saved (Ephesians 2:8-9).
6. It reveals God as the Triune God - God as the Father, God as the Son, and God as the Spirit
7. Christianity is exclusive in its claims. How is Christianity Exclusive?

A. The God of Christianity is claimed to be the only true God (Jeremiah 10:10; Jude 25).

B. The Bible is claimed to be the Word of God and the only true revelation from God (Isaiah 8:20; Revelation 22:18-19; 2 Timothy 3:16).

Some have claimed that the bible is no more accurate that Homer's Iliad. I respectfully disagree and the table shown at the link below clearly demonstrates my argument that the Bible is one of the most accurate sources for the events described in it.

Investigation will also reveal that there exists NO SINGLE SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY that has been shown to prove error, factually or doctrinally, in the Bible. There is lots of speculation and hypotheses, but not a single verifiable fact.

To make this claim alone is quite a feat for ancient texts, but when you add to it the fact that the Bible was written over more than 1,500 years by forty vastly different writers, yet every book in the Bible is consistent in its message. These 66 books talk about history, prophecy, poetry, and theology.

No human beings could have planned such an intricate combination of books over a 1,500-year time span. Bible manuscripts (remember, there were no printing presses until 1455) have survived despite weather, persecution and time. Most ancient writings written on weak materials like papyrus have vanished all together. Yet many copies of the Old Testament scriptures survived. For instance, the Dead Sea Scrolls contain all books of the Old Testament, except Esther, and have been dated to before the time of Christ. Now consider Julius Caesar’s Gallic Wars. Only ten copies written about 1,000 years after the event are in existence. In comparison, there are over 24,000+ New Testament manuscripts, the earliest one dating to within 24 years after Christ.

The Bible also validates its divine authorship through fulfilled prophecies. An astonishing 668 prophecies have been fulfilled and none have ever been proven false (three are unconfirmed).

An honest study of biblical prophecy will compellingly show the divine authorship of the Bible. Further, archeology confirms (or in some cases supports) accounts in the biblical record. No other holy book comes close to the Bible in the amount of evidence supporting its divine authorship.

C. The Biblical Way of Salvation is the only way of salvation. There is no other way (John 3:36). No matter how good, religious or sincere a person may be, unless he or she has faith in Jesus they will not be saved. "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12).

D. Jesus Christ claims to be the only way to God, the only way of salvation and the only way to eternal life in heaven (John 3:16-17). Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6).

Answer 8

Yes. I am the only person in my religion. I am a "Bodhisatva". For a "Bodhisatva", this world is empty. Any image is not worthy to be clinged to. I walk my path alone. Any external image even of "Buddha" is just an image comes in your way, push it off. I don't know how many of you are able to see Buddha to see further????????

Answer 9

My religion has a strong work ethic. Does yours! Mine makes make do twice the work than asked. Does yours. Mine deprives me of my coat AND cloak does yours. Mine has me walking around with no money, does yours! Mine has me turning the other cheek when struck and offering the other cheek to be struck. DOES yours!

Answer 10

Im going including your 0.33 assertion "each faith is a different thank you to locate God." And in those rules some human beings might desire to call him Allah or Buddah. There isnt any way that the Christian faith is the only "stunning" faith and the rest are comdemned to burn in Hell for eternity purely because of fact they have been born into their faith. And going much extra with this, whos to declare Christianity is the "genuine" faith, what if something like Wicca or Voodoo grew to become into the stunning one? purely one thing to think of approximately...
