UK protestants

Church of England
Quakers

Mormans Church of the later day saints
Jehovahs Witnesses
Armish
Evangelists
Christian Science
New Life Christians
etc etc ? you can`t all be right otherwise there would be only one . If you say that they all preach the same gospel then why have different versions

Oh by the way I am happily entrenched in atheism.

Answer 1

and you've only listed the various christian delusions there. The world is full of religious delusion, and not all of them are christ-based.

Answer 2

Try some research using thse questions:

What is the nature of God?
Does he have a name?
Who is Jesus Christ?
How was Jesus executed?
What is his role in the working out of God's purpose?
What is the nature of the soul?
What happens to us when we die?
What is heaven and what is hell?
What is mankind's general hope for the future?
How are the commands and propphecies of Jesus Christ to be interpreted?
How was the first century Christian congregation organised?

What you need to know is the official doctrinal stance of each of the faiths that you mentioned with regard to these questions. You will likely find a great deal of similarity between most of these faiths. So, even though they may look different externally, inside they are the same. At most, only one religion will give a different answer to all of these questions.

It is true like you said that they can't all be right. It is more logical to suggest that they are all wrong or that (perhaps even more logically) one of them is right and all the other are wrong. This is proved when you compare the doctrines of the true faith with those of all the others. Whatever the true faith says, all the others will not only say something different, but in some cases will pretty much say the opposite.

I have a faith and it is one of the ones mentioned, but I will not name it in the interests of scientific objectivity. I feel that if you ask all of these questions and get the official answers that you need, you will see the remarkable difference of my faith in comparison to all the others.

Answer 3

None of them.

Since Christ claims to be the way and the truth and the life then it is He that is right and He who should be followed.

Surely His resurrection from the dead puts it beyond doubt and you cannot satisfactorily explain that away.


Your reasoning is also seriously flawed. You can't all be right otherwise there would only be one doesn't make sense. From a logical point of view, different versions of the same thing is the same thing is it not? But those you have listed are not all the same by any means and it is truth you want which brings us straight back to Jesus Christ and His claims upon you.

Answer 4

God has set many truths of the Bible before us. He knew that it would be hard for us to take them all in at once. So he inspired those reformers as they earnestly studied the Bible. Little by little they learned these truths. As others learned and understood the Bible better they adopted these truths. The problem is that some would acept some of the truths and would stop there. If more truth was found, especially if it was something they didn't like or want to do, they did not continue on with the new truth. Denominations were formed in this way over and over again. As more truth was found those who believed would move on, others would not.

At this time in history the only church that I have found to have all truth as it is known today is the Seventh Day Adventist Church.

Answer 5

all religions/spiritualities are right to the person practising it. Some religions/spiritualities always think they are better than others. As long as people dont preach and try to convert people by force, we will exist harmoniously and accept the diversity. The christian church wiped out all the pagans when the pope commanded the inquisition. Paganism is very ancient. Buddhism is also an extremely old religion, been going for thousands of years. However, why should we have to choose one religion or faith that superceeds all others? We are all praying/worshipping/meditating along to the same thing....the earth, life and the hope that someone out there is looking out for us. Our goddess/god/beliefs.

Answer 6

They all do. They all consider themselves to be the truth. But I say that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the light. And none of us will know it unless God brings it to us. Look to denominations if you want, but I do believe that they all point to the same general direction, will you trust God to show you what to believe as true? Or will you decide that since there are denominations, it's just too difficult to know? It depends upon what you value. Jesus Christ, or denominational?

Answer 7

No "religion" is "right", just as no "religion" or "church" will get you into heaven. What is right is having a living, personal relationship with God and Jesus Christ. Any group that doesn't acknowledge the work of the Cross in our redemption is not truly Christian as Jesus said, "No man comes to the Father except by me." Accepting Jesus as Lord of Lords is the key.

Answer 8

Imagine all of humanity was placed in one room.
One half of the room is painted white, and the other half black.
No racial association to be inferred here by the way.
People are very sensitive to such issues today.
Where in this room do you suppose the great majority of humanity would be placed?

Most probably they would be very near the end wall of the white side of the room but with their backs to it - gazing into the black side.

There is no ''quick'' answer to this question.
There is ONE, but you yourself will need to find it through study and dedication to that study.

Answer 9

Don't know for sure. I'll tell you when I get there. I'm christian, but having never met God or Christ, or any other Gods for that matter I am in no position to tell you which is right. If upon dying I discover I am God, I will certainly come back and let you know.

Answer 10

Beliefs gradually change because of language - because of interpretation - because of wants - because of need.

The Catholic church may change slowly over time with new answers for God's actions that the Church can live with. The Catholic Church is the 1st pillar of Christianity coming to it's own with the death of Christ and His Resurrection. There are a lot of spin offs from the Catholic Church such as the Anglicans. The Anglican basically came about because King Henry VIII liked to divorce his wives and get a new one that could give him a male heir. This could not be done if he were to stay Catholic.

Pagan Rebirth, S.O. -- I don't understand where you are coming from with this "reality" business. You seem to be guite at odds here with respect to the majority of Christian thought.. I hope you are not saying that there are more than one God.

Answer 11

The first one-it has been handed down since the time of the Apostles-the others have evolved from it, and some are not Christian at all.
