If you believe in God, explain why your religion is the right religion and what other religions lack.?

Question

I am interested to know if you believe in God, why you think your religion is the best way to worship God, what you feel is lacking in other religions and if you oppose other religions and for what reasons.

Answer 1

I don't really care about religion. If God wants me to believe in him he's going to have to assert himself and make himself real without my help.

(And he has already done that.)

Next, he has to be the one to demonstrate that a relationship with him is worth while, otherwise, why waste my time?

(He has done that, as well. Having an immortal friend has excellent benefits.)

Next, if he doesn't mind, he has to show me how to better myself.

(Which he has.)

What other people do doesn't affect me.

Answer 2

Any religion that points away from the bible or to "man-made" traditions as being more important than Jesus/God and what they say is true in the bible, then their religion is wrong. No we all cant be right, or what would the point of a bible and Jesus dying for our sins be. If we are all right then who is wrong? Any one's interpretation of the bible would be right no matter who it was.
Yes we should be respectful of all religions but Jesus said "I am the way , the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" John 14:6.
If something is black and someone wants to call it white,is that person now correct because that is what they want to believe? No, it is still black and someone is wrong. There is a right religion but it must point to Jesus Christ. Of course Jesus must have to work on your heart to help you believe in Him. You must have a relationship with Jesus and study the Bible to learn what Jesus impresses on your heart as true doctrine. Then find the church that stays true to the doctrine even if it is not the "majority" belief.

Answer 3

Thank you for asking. I am LDS and my religion is logical.

We that all truth is revealed by multiple witnesses. In other words, you shouldn’t believe the word of a single person.
There were four people that gave their witness that an angel that showed to them ancient records that were translated into the Book of Mormon.

There are numerous accounts of the same miraculous events being witnessed my multiple people at the same time. They involve seeing angels, healing, interpretation of foreign languages, etc. We believe that there should be at least two witnesses to all truth.

We believe that in order for a person to know something of a religious nature is true, they should pray to God and should receive and answer from God, usually by the Holy Spirit, before they should accept it as truth.

We believe that we have an unbroken line of authority back to Jesus Christ. Josepth Smith and Oliver Cowdery wrote of their experiences of receiving the priesthood from the apostles Peter, James and John, which were then resurrected, and had their priesthood from Jesus Christ.
We believe that the original Church of Jesus Christ has been restored to the Earth by Jesus Christ.

We want people to have personal testimonies that can be obtained by obeying what God wants you to do, and then witnessing the outcome. We believe that faith is obtained and grows by experimenting on religion to see if it is beneficial. (Book of Mormon, Alma Chapter 32)

Answer 4

Non-denominational Christian because Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and no one can come to the Father apart from faith in his atoning sacrifice for their sins and because there is only one true church that is the spiritual body of Christ composed of all people who have been born again.

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

What other religions lack is a righteousness that comes from God. All of the other non-Christian religions are like Cain who came to God with the sacrifice that he wanted to give instead of the sacrifice that God required. All other religions teach that mankind has to do something to be made right in God's eyes. Christianity teaches that God loved us so much that He provided a righteousness for us by sending Jesus to die in our place and all we have to do is believe God to accept the free gift.

Answer 5

I am a Jehovah's Witness. Jehovah God blesses us with knowledge of the sacrifice that his son, Jesus Christ made on our behalf. God's holy spirit is so active in this religion that we receive more spiritual food than we could ever eat. Whenever we really need to know about something, we get literature which helps us to understand it. My Mom, who is a Methodist, says that it is more organized than any church she has ever seen and all the members fellowship with one another regardless of age. No collection plate is ever passed, no sermon ever has a call for finances even in it, let alone as it's topic, and yet there is always an abundance giving us some to share with others. We diligently study the Bible over and over and over again. We constantly use our Bibles, both in the Kingdom Hall and out. We are encouraged by other brothers and sisters as we visit at the meetings and as we go about in our family lives. We are a world wide brotherhood which encompasses people of all races and languages and we are currently approaching 7 million active members. Soon (April 2nd) we will celebrate the Lord's Evening Meal as Jesus commanded us to do. We do not oppose anyone but we share with others what we know and let them make their own decisions. We are not at your door to force you to believe what we do. We are there to obey Jesus' command to go and preach about God's Kingdom in immitation of him. No more, no less.

Answer 6

The true Church is the one founded by Jesus Christ. That happens to be the Catholic Church. It is the only Church that can prove a direct and unbroken line of succession from Jesus Christ to St. Peter up to the present pope.

The first Christians had no doubts about how to determine which was the true Church and which doctrines the true teachings of Christ. The test was simple: Just trace the apostolic succession of the claimants. Apostolic succession is the line of bishops stretching back to the apostles. All over the world, all Catholic bishops are part of a lineage that goes back to the time of the apostles, something that is impossible in Protestant denominations (most of which do not even claim to have bishops).

The role of apostolic succession in preserving true doctrine is illustrated in the Bible. To make sure that the apostles’ teachings would be passed down after the deaths of the apostles, Paul told Timothy, "[W]hat you have heard from me before many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also" (2 Tim. 2:2). In this passage he refers to the first three generations of apostolic succession—his own generation, Timothy’s generation, and the generation Timothy will teach.

The Church Fathers, who were links in that chain of succession, regularly appealed to apostolic succession as a test for whether Catholics or heretics had correct doctrine. This was necessary because heretics simply put their own interpretations, even bizarre ones, on Scripture. Clearly, something other than Scripture had to be used as an ultimate test of doctrine in these cases.

Thus the early Church historian J. N. D. Kelly, a Protestant, writes, "[W]here in practice was [the] apostolic testimony or tradition to be found? . . . The most obvious answer was that the apostles had committed it orally to the Church, where it had been handed down from generation to generation. . . . Unlike the alleged secret tradition of the Gnostics, it was entirely public and open, having been entrusted by the apostles to their successors, and by these in turn to those who followed them, and was visible in the Church for all who cared to look for it" (Early Christian Doctrines, 37).

For the early Fathers, "the identity of the oral tradition with the original revelation is guaranteed by the unbroken succession of bishops in the great sees going back lineally to the apostles. . . . [A]n additional safeguard is supplied by the Holy Spirit, for the message committed was to the Church, and the Church is the home of the Spirit. Indeed, the Church’s bishops are . . . Spirit-endowed men who have been vouchsafed ‘an infallible charism of truth’" (ibid.).

Thus on the basis of experience the Fathers could be "profoundly convinced of the futility of arguing with heretics merely on the basis of Scripture. The skill and success with which they twisted its plain meaning made it impossible to reach any decisive conclusion in that field" (ibid., 41).

Pope Clement I
"Through countryside and city [the apostles] preached, and they appointed their earliest converts, testing them by the Spirit, to be the bishops and deacons of future believers. Nor was this a novelty, for bishops and deacons had been written about a long time earlier. . . . Our apostles knew through our Lord Jesus Christ that there would be strife for the office of bishop. For this reason, therefore, having received perfect foreknowledge, they appointed those who have already been mentioned and afterwards added the further provision that, if they should die, other approved men should succeed to their ministry" (Letter to the Corinthians 42:4–5, 44:1–3 [A.D. 80])
Peace and every blessing!

Answer 7

I believe that the Scriptures are God's revelation of who he is and how he would have us live. The Scriptures teach that there is a specific God who exists. The worship of other gods is explained to be idolatrous. Thus, my reason for believing that Christianity is the best way to worship God is that it is the only way to worship him. If one is not a Christian, he remains at emnity with God.

Answer 8

I believe in God and oppose no religion that teaches his word. However I do oppose those that teach religion to extort money in the name of God.
