Aren't other Religions besides Christianity discouraging to Christians?

Question

Does the fact that there are more people who follow the other major religions place emphasis on the fact that everyone has a different opinion of God? Those religions have just as many people who believe and the same amount of miracles but with a completely different belief system are likely just as correct right? It seems narrow minded to assume Christianity is the only possible truth.

Answer 1

I was brought up Roman Catholic, went to church every Sunday, and Holy Days, attended Catholic education for both Primary and Secondary (High) Schools, and I don't believe that Catholics have the monopoly on truth or wisdom. Am I a Catholic still? - Yes!
But I have come to understand that it is the human imperfection that gives us so many ways to worship, not the imperfection of God. We see and interpret the things we do from where we are, what we know and how we are raised. We are creatures of our upbringing.
My mother, who was the hub of our faith, showed in so many ways the truth of faith, always accepting people for who they were, not just how they worshipped. This is a truely good woman in a world that is sometimes harsh and cruel.
My own daughter came to me one day, worried and upset, saying she had something to tell me. She told me she had done a lot of soul searching and had decided to take on a different religion from my own. I asked her three questions - Does your religon promote a duty of care to others? Does it ask you to care for yourself? Does it promote that you should leave the world a better place for you having been in it?
When she said it did, I told her that I could and would accept her choice, and we've talked about the differences and similarities of our faiths.
A beautiful quote my daughter once showed me goes like this "God is like a candle burning in a multi-coloured glass shade, each sees a different colour, depending on where they stand, but the light inside remains the same".
May your God be with you, B

Answer 2

I have noticed many Christians are narrow-minded against other religions and even other branches of Christianity. My grandmother for example doesn't even like Catholics. I have noticed people in other religions not following God are more acceptant of other religions and other ways of life.

Answer 3

True. Even amoung Christianity, most Christians in the world are Catholics or Orthodox, and they have very different ideas than the American non-denominational sects.

Answer 4

Sorry, Christianity is the only possible truth.
