All the major monotheistic religions of the world seem to have very similar beginnings, and sometimes just a few degrees of seperation. What do you believe in your heart to be God's True Religion, and why?

God did not organize any religion. He chose the Jews to be the first to know about One God and then others called them Judaist where Judaism must have given to them their identity. The same way as Prince Siddartha did not create a religion under His assumed title the "Buddha" whom were identified later as the Buddhist.
Jesus Christ was a Jew who introduced a little improvement to Judaism and the Jews did not adhere to that completely so they called those who sided with Jesus as "Christian". Even in its earlier stage, although Prophet Mohammad introduced Islam as their religion people outside their territory started calling them first as "Mohammedans"or the religion Mohammedanism. It was only about few decades ago that they were able to convince people that their religion is Islam and the followers of Islam are called Muslims.
I believe that the true religion is not in the name but in the way you live the life He taught everyone based on the first source of their learnings which was introduced to the man called Adam and then Noah and then Abraham with the full understanding of the laws given to Moses. All the three major monotheistic religions have based their teachings on the Five Books of Moses.

The last Book of the Torah teaches that the Jews are God’s chosen people. “For you are a holy people unto the LORD your God: the LORD your God hath chosen you to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth. The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because you were more in number than any people; for you were the fewest of all people: But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers…” (Deuteronomy 7:6-8).

From all the nations and people on the earth, why exactly did God “choose” the Jews? John Gill, in his “Exposition of the Entire Bible” says the Jews were “chosen for special service and worship, and to enjoy special privileges and benefits, civil and religious; though they were not chosen to special grace…or eternal glory.” The Jews were chosen to be a blessing to all the nations of the earth (Genesis 12). The Jews were chosen to be a light to the gentiles. So then, are all Jews “saved” just because they are Jews?

A God's chosen person is the one who repents of ones sins, trust in Christ alone for ones salvation, and leads a life of obedience to God through humble reliance on the Holy Spirit.

God needs no religion. God is open to all. The chosen ones are the ones that gave up belief to seek and then to know.

Different answers for two separate questions:

No doubt, God's chosen people are the Jews....the descendants of Abraham Isaac and Jacob (Israel)

God's true religion is Christianity....Jesus is God, and He rose from the dead.

Christians are A chosen people. The word "church" is from the Greek "ekklesia" which is defined as "A called out group". From 'ek' (out of) and 'kaleo' (to call)". And it is God who does the calling: "He called you through our gospel" (2 Thes. 2:14). When one is taught the gospel of Christ, believes and accepts it, he is then "called of God". As Jesus put it, No man can come to me, except the Father that sent me draw him: and I will raise him up in the last day. It is written in the Prophets, And they shall all be taught of God.Every one that hath heard from the Father, and hath learned, cometh unto me" ( John 6:44-45) In the Old Testament, Israel was Gods "chosen people". God told them, "for thou art a holy people unto Jehovah thy God and Jehovah chosen thee to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples that are upon the face of the earth". (Duet.14:2 see also Isa 41:8; 45:4) Christians belong to God for a very simple reason: He bought us! Acts 20:28

God dose not have a chosen people, and never has, he created mankind and is no respecter of any man, It is man that has created all of our laws rules, and regulations including religious scripture, God dose not have a religion only man dose, God demands our respect privately and not out of a church, pray to him in your closet or your bedroom, but do it privately, only there will he answer you. may God bless.

Those who have received Jesus Christ by faith in his sacrifice on the cross are God's Chosen.

To Be A SON OF GOD:
"But as many as received him (Jesus), TO THEM he gave the power to become the Sons of God, even to them that believe in his name, which were born.... not of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but were born of God"- (John 1:12)

it might look from analyzing Revelation 12:7-9 the two occurred. enable us to examine Revelation first V7 And there substitute into awar in heaven: Michael and his cangels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, V8 And prevailed no longer; neither substitute into their place discovered from now on in heaven. V9 And the super dragon substitute into acast out, that previous serpent, spoke of as the devil, and devil, which deceiveth the whole worldwide: he substitute into solid out into the earth, and his angels have been solid out with him. it might look from this analyzing that everyone of Gods toddlers had to make your mind up on the same time as we've been all interior the Spirit worldwide. ie earlier coming to earth. a number of the spirits chosen to bypass with devil on the same time as different chosen God as their grasp. As those persons who chosen to maintain on with God went approximately our each and every day lives, there have been at situations as quickly as we've had a deep conviction (felling in case you like) that we are spoke of as to do some thing. it might desire to come as a nonetheless small voice or an answer to prayer via a deep all convincing feeling interior of us that we would desire to obey. some persons brush aside those thoughts as being our very own recommendations on the same time as others understand them as instructions from God. As we obey those thoughts we recognize that we've been chosen via God to finished fill some activity He has for us. God does not make us serve Him yet places earlier us the possibility to be spoke of as via Him to serve Him for His very own objective. Like devil and his angels, many are spoke of as yet few are chosen.
