why do u think GOD would bless u if u follow ur religion and not other religions? why should he be partial to a particular set of his creations?

Since God IS the Father of Jesus Christ then it should be presumed that whoever should follow the teachings of Christ (who is the full embodiment of God in Spirit) would obviously be in God's favor and receive His blessings as a true child in the family of God.

Judaims, Christianity, changed so thats why ISLAM came about God brought through the messengers (peace be upon them) new set of rules and messages and also messages from Christianity & Judaism so people can stay on the right path and know the truth about life, people started to go astray and do sins so thats why Islam was born to remind people of this life and after life, the messages in these religions are simple, so good deeds, be good, care, respect and many more good messages, so is there any harm in following these messages and staying on the right path? no so why ppl critise.

Newsflash!,He is not partial and cannot be.
I think it has something to do with his Job description.
The ill-begotten notion that God would favour certain faiths
or religious sects is a very flawed way of thinking and is most
definitely a human invention.
We sort of picked and choosed the things about God we liked, proclaimed that the ultimate truth and try to force that view onto the "others".And vice versa off course.
There's been trouble ever since groups of humans gave up their personal conscience and responsibilities for the easy option of joining these collective consciences, they make all the hard decisions for you, proscribe your thinking and tell you
what is right or wrong.How convenient!,stick to the rules,do as you are told, obey,and you never ever have to feel guilty.
That is not my faith,I'd feel like a hard line communist lemming.So beware!!,a truly universal God shall judge you
by your deeds and not your sheep like compliance.

There is no question of following any religion. You either follow God or don't follow Him. If you follow Him, he will be happy. Otherwise not. If you do something in the name of religion that goes against God's will, how can you justify it by saying that you were just following your religion.

This is the delusion that runs through virtually every religion. The practictioners imagine that God favors them more than the followers of every other religion! I wish people would wake up from their slumber and realise that there are no favourites in creation, but what you sow you reap is as applicable to a christian as to a muslim or atheist!

God loves everybody. John 3:16 says "for God so loved THE WORLD that He gave His only begotten Son that WHOSOEVER believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. But there is a barrier between God and man. That barrier is sin. It's like there is 2 adjacent cliffs and a bottomless gorge in between them. On the edge of one cliff is man and on the edge of the other cliff is God. The bottomless gorge is sin. How is man going to get across that gorge to get to God. God provided a way. The bridge is Christ. Christ paid for our sins on the cross thereby opening the way to God and heaven for those who of their own free will take the free gift. Since neither Muhammad nor Buddha nor Krishna nor Moses nor Confucius nor anyone else paid for our sins and sin is the barrier between God and man, those religions are useless(regardless whether they are good religions or not).

Because he hates religions and warns people to get out of them or else they will suffer the same retributions he has in store for them.
He hates idols, images, crosses, statues, fortune-tellers, practicers of magic, astrology, readers of the liver, etc. but people of all false religions accept all or most of these things.
Revelation 18:4
Only one group I don't consider to have a man-made religion to tell them any thing that's not in the bible and that's the witnesses. They know how to worship Him with the true "cult" or "worship" that He requires from His people, which is in spirit and truth. That's why they don't have "ceremonies" as others do, they just study the word of God diligently!
I never see their names in the Saturday newspaper listed with all the other churches... do you???

Personally, I don't think "God" (or just the Supreme Being, as I refer to him/her/it as) IS partial to any specific religion. I think that if you treat others well & enjoy living your life the way that feels best to you, good things will always come in this life & whatever happens afterwards :)

Religion and sectarianism are two separate things. Christianity is divided into man-made sects such as Catholic and Lutheran. Don't blame God for that. Islam is divided into Shiite and Sunni. Don't blame God for that either. Religion is a relative term. Either you believe God exists or you don't.

I dont think that God is partial to any religion, if you think about it, everyone is worshipping the same higher power, different religions are simply different perspectives of what that power is. kinda like me & my colour blind hubby, we will arue that we both see a different colour but essentially we are both looking at the same thing.
