how could you know?

Question

how could you know that your religion is the true one if you didnot read about other religions from their own sources?

Answer 1

I know that my religion is a true religion because I am basing my religion which was written in James Capter 1, verse 27 which I quote:

Jas 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
Jas 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

Answer 2

The only way somebody can know the truth about anything - including religion - is by using the space between their ears. That's why God gave us a rational intellect.

I have read about many of the worlds religions. This is a good idea if you know well what you believe to be true. If you are a person who is swept away by every passing wind, it's probably not a good idea to study what might be true until you have a good grounding in what you already believe to be true.

Sadly, many people do not want to put this much work into religion. It's a place to go on Saturday or Sunday and a good book to read, but not important enough to do real research into.

Answer 3

You need only learn what the Bible really teaches about true worship.
To illustrate: In many lands, there is a problem with counterfeit money. If you were given the job of picking out such false money, how would you go about it?
By memorizing every kind of counterfeit?
No.
Your time would be better spent if you studied real money. After you knew what real money looked like, you could recognize a counterfeit.

Similarly, when we learn how to identify the true religion, we can recognize those religions that are false.

Answer 4

I did not have to read about other religions, I was either caught in some, Or someone else told me about them, & the stories turned out to be true. Plus the Bible says when the Holy Ghost is come which is the Comforter or the spirit of Truth, He will guide us into all truths.

Answer 5

I have lived many different lives before. I have seen things i never wanted to see and experienced all sorts of things. Now, I have a personal relationship with almighty God, Jesus. He has revealed himself to me and i have built a life on his word and his teachings. I strive to know him more and more, the closer you get to him the more you crave him, he is tangible to me. The further away you are from him the less you know about him. Ask Jesus to come into your life. He is the only god, the "only one true God".
Read the bible verse Deuteronomy 4,32-41, in-fact read all Deuteronomy.

Answer 6

The three great religions have in common one God,even though there are certain differences between them,so how would any of us looking at Judaism,Christianity and Islam know which is the true one?
The one God is the deciding factor for me,all truth has to come to us by Him and if so what better way than the Truth incarnate,who is Jesus Christ, He did not come just to tell us the truth,He is the Truth itself, the truth of God in human form.
This is how I know that Christianity is the authentic will and desire of God.

Answer 7

That's a bit like saying you'd have to date everyone in the world before you could be sure that you had really found the love of your life.

Answer 8

I have studied all of the world's major religions (and a lot of the little crappy ones that no one cares about, like Wicca). These studies have left me with a single rational conclusion. Since all religions teach different things then either A) one of them is right and the rest are all wrong or B) they are all wrong. If A) were the case then I think it would be obvious to all of us which religion to choose, therefore B) is correct.

Answer 9

good point, but there are signs that show that..
Muslims, like me, for example, have a lot of signs and prophecies concerning the appearance of our savior, and all of them almost is achieved...and that makes me sure of my relegion...but we also have to read about other relegions, like a question here that says about the "second coming" and i didn't understand it, because it's not my relegion, so i answered, "i'd like to know about it"
that's the right thing to do

Answer 10

You don't. Until you actually research other religious teachings you think that they are somehow different.

Once you actually read the scripture of the various religions you suddenly realize what the term "one God" means.

Then you are free from you delusion that there is only one correct way to God.
