Do you believe that your religion/faith, is the only way or merely another way?

Answer 1

As per Hinduism, all religions/faiths point towards the Truth....as all rivers rush towards ocean

Hinduism does not say...hinduism is the only way!

Each one is searching Truth by his own way...and Hinduism have respect for all faiths

Hindus main prayer is "Sarve Bhavantu... etc" means May all be happy, May all be enlightened!!

Answer 2

By logical consideration, there must be wrong faiths, and that must include almost all faiths that insist that they are exclusively true.
(Please note, without specifying which.)

Either *one* of the exclusive faiths is true, or the broader view of "different paths to one goal" is true, in which case none of the exclusive faiths is true, which raises the conundrum that a faith, known to be untrue, would still be a valid path.

Paradox? It is perhaps best treated on two different levels:
A search for truth, which includes scientific research into the universe and the human mind...
And as a sociological and psychological phenomenon of comfort and orientation, where truth is a more personal thing.
These two fields overlap and intertwine, but never quite coincide.

Me, I believe there is one truth, but that there are different beliefs about it, and no-one's utterly proven their case yet.

Answer 3

i believe faith in a Higher Power, or lack thereof, is a very personal thing. I don't think my faith is the only way, but it's the way that works best for me. i believe all religions, all faiths, are equally valid. i think that sincerity in ur beliefs and kindness and honesty towards ur fellow creatures is what God cares about, not what fan club u belong to.i believe that as long as u pray w/sincerity, all prayers go to the same "Inbox".

Answer 4

Judaism has always been clear that this is our way and that other people have other ways.

I also study Buddhism, in which hundreds of schools co-exist, but the bottom line is that attachment is the source of all suffering. That includes attachment to enlightenment or a particular doctrine. Christianity, as often practiced, is a paramount example of that truth.

Answer 5

Christian-Because it appears the most validated and divine faith. A message that any can have this hope despite race, social status, physical ability, and gender I consider morally superior.
It has a unique integrity in all the disciplines and can hold its own in an argument. Many arguments against it are like like pointing out a scratch on the paint job of your car when the car is the object you are really discussing.

Answer 6

Let's imagine there is a house with many windows of different shapes: round, square and everything else in between. People inside the house are looking out of the windows and debating the nature of the sky. The one standing by the circular window says: "It is obvious to me that the sky is round." The one looking out of the square window argues: "No, the sky is square, a rectangular blue patch."

But the one who has been outside and seen the sky in all its beauty and grandeur, keeps his silence because he knows. He may come inside the house again but he will not forget what he has seen. Never again will he think of the sky as a small patch of blue, round or square in shape.

Religions and beliefs are like windows of a house.
The sky is All That Is.

Answer 7

" Merely another way ". . . I'm of no ' organized ' religion, church or temple . . . I'm simply spiritual...a soul living a human experience...and my 'experiences' are ' merely another way ' to the Light of the One.

All are precious...some are viewed as ' odder ' then others...yet all will See the brilliant Light of the One...the united Light in all.

Answer 8

The Bible does not agree with the modern view that there are many acceptable ways to worship God. Ephesians 4:5 says there is “one Lord, one faith.” Jesus stated: “Narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it. . . . Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will.”—Matt. 7:13, 14, 21; see also 1 Corinthians 1:10.

Answer 9

I believe my religion is the only way. I have tried other ways, and they were enlightening. In fact, I think they are also the only way. I finally just decided that it was probably my Karma to worship with the group I was born into.

Answer 10

I don't believe that there is Only ONE way, clearly that is not true as there are so many faiths ^_^

Mine (Atheism) Is just another way to go about things.
