How do you know that your religion is the only right one?

Question

Besides the fact that your 'Holy Book' told you so.

Answer 1

I never said it is. And I don't believe that any religion is the "only" right one. As long as a religion answers your questions and harms no one else, then I don't have a problem with that religion.

As for myself, I chose Wicca as my religion because it is right for me.

There is no ONE religion for everyone, but there is A religion for each individual.

Blessed Be )O(

Answer 2

All the religions have the same goal. I mean the ones that had a prophet and a holy book. The ones that believe God and life after death,... But I believe that Islam is the best and the rightest religion. Because it's the last religion and the most complete one. The right commands of other religions are in it more complete than those and other new commands that is proves that are good for human life.

Answer 3

may I please, say something here, the only thing you will find to be trust, is what you know in your heart. I think that is the one true God, but that does not stop you from looking some place else, The most important thing about any religious thought is the "God" you hold true to your heart, I do believe in the one true God, but you may not, that is ok, why should you feel condemned for your thought, no other person can say what you want to say, so be heard, and don't be afraid! Your voice is a mountain, and your thought a victory, over the peace of life, hold your own self true, then you can find the truth behind the one that leads you!!! I hope that this helps, but if not then let yourself be true to you if no other reason, just because, you matter, and that reason matters to someone else???!!!

Answer 4

Well let me ask you a few questions. Just say i bring a machinary in front of you that no one has ever seen before and i ask you who knows the function of this machine. You would obviously say the manufacturer or the maker or the creator or the inventor etc. So how do you think the world came out, or the universe and all the nature. If it just came out of no where how can it be so perfect. Okay moving on, the study of embryology right now has just been discovered recently that is about a hundred years ago. But who do you think told about the development of an embryo before 1400 years ago in the Holy Qura'an, obviously the Creator (GOD). Next point, it was only before like 500 years or so people started to admit that the world is spherical in size but then the Quran said this 1400 years ago. Who do you think would have said this, obviously the Creator(GOD). My next point, it was only a few years ago that science told us that the sun rotates on its own axis, but Allah said this in the Holy Quran 1400 years ago in chapter 21 verse 33 ( you can confirm it by referring to the Quran). It was only recently that science says that mountains prevent the Earth from shaking but my Creator, Allah said this 1400 years ago in Chapter 78 Verse 6 and 7. And another point, science only recently found that the universe is expanding but Allah said this in the Quran before 1400 years ago in chapter 51 verse 47. Hope i have proved enough about the existence of God. Im not an expert in Islam, but there are people with better knowledge than me and all ill say is Islam is the true relegion and hope to see you as another brother or sister in Islam. You can watch the video of this expert speaker which might make you a bit more confident and reading the Quran would clarify all your doubts im sure. If you have time watch both these videos-

Answer 5

I DONT HAVE A HOLY BOOK.
MY CONCIOUS MIND TELLS ME I AM ON THE RIGHT PATH.WICCA.)o(
To most of the Craft, every religion has its own valuable perspective on the nature of Deity and humanity's relationship to it; there is no One True Faith. Rather, religious diversity is necessary in a world of diverse societies and individuals. Because of this belief, Wiccan groups do not actively recruit or proselytize; there is an assumption that people who can benefit from the Wiccan way will 'find their way home' when the time is right.
Blessed Be!

Answer 6

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

Simple. I've checked several out, even read about all the world-religions (plus several of the others). However --after careful personal study, & thorough evaluation-- the one I have chosen is the only one that makes 100% perfect, logical sense to me...

Answer 8

I don't really think there is a right religion. I think that all religions are just a different ways of seeing the same thing, like seeing the same thing from different points of view.

Answer 9

i think instead of people proclaiming that their religion is the only true or right one, they should proclaim that it is the only true or right religion "for them". we would live much more peacefully if people changed their perspective ever so slightly to include those 2 words.

Answer 10

Right religion can be easily detected by someone who is reading the bible. because a true or right religion teaches solely from the bible, from the teachings of God in the bible. No tradition involved No self doctrine teachings,
