What religion is the truth?

Question

Not trying to start a hate question, just want a little justification from people on the inside of their own religion.

I guess you did not understand, can you with more than one sentence say what religion is the truth, and give one or two examples why.

Answer 1

None.

Religions are all just organized superstition. And it is a dangerous and harmful superstition, as is evidenced by the intolerance, bigotry, violence, "ethnic" (usually religious) cleansing, suicide bombings, and attempts to get government to enforce their religious beliefs because they can't stand on their own merits.

Answer 2

All religions carry a portion, and ought be respected for that. None carry the entirety, and each ought to recognize that. All religions are man-made, all strive for the divine. Some recognize that divine within, some without.

The trouble comes when a religion believes itself right to the exclusion of all others. That is the source of strife among faiths.

Some religions recognize themselves as a kernel, and these are the ones that are most able to live peacably among others, but even these have been hunted, maligned and killed by others.

A truly great day will be that which comes when people recognize that none can contain the entirety of truth. Truth is like an acorn. We may think we can grasp it in our hands, but when it unfolds, and shows itself as the great oak that it is, we cannot even place our arms around it. Too many faiths see the seed and think they understand; thinking it small enough to contain in a book. They never plant it though, and see what it will become.

Jesus spoke of faith as a mustard seed. People stop there, and forget that seeds grow; that is their purpose. If you are looking at seeds, you are forgetting that you are looking at but an embryo; you are forgetting the potential. Religion is a seed; spirituality is the tree. It is easy to be religious; those who become truly spiritual beings are far more rare.

Answer 3

Don't you think it's strange that all these people answer and tell you what they believe, but none of them use the Bible to prove anything they say? Is there one religion out there that uses the Bible to prove everything they believe? Yes, there is. They are a christian religion. They live up to everything they believe. They follow in Christ's footsteps closely.
This is what Jesus said about it.
John 13:35 -  "By this all will know that YOU are my disciples, if YOU have love among yourselves.”

So find the religion that truly has love among them and those are Christ's true followers.

Answer 4

Christianity is the truth.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Judaism is the truth except it is only the partial truth because those who still practice it are waiting for the Messiah who has already come and established a new covenant between God and mankind.

That's why Jesus is "the" way. He is "the Lamb of God who was slain before the foundation of the world". God knew all along that mankind would break his laws and deserve eternal death for our rebellion but because of his love for us He also had a plan to redeem us so that we could be with Him for all eternity.

All other religions teach that people have to do something to find God and to be acceptable to Him. But God says that we can't find Him on our own that He is an infinite all powerful Spirit and the only way we can find Him is if He reveals Himself to us. He also tells us that on our own we don't have the capacity to meet his perfect standard of righteousness. But God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

The end of the Jewish revelation from God ends with the threat of a curse.

Malachi 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: 6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

The Bible ends with God's creation redeemed and a blessing of grace.

Rev 22:21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Answer 5

I am a member of the church of Christ.

Jesus said he would build his church in Matthew 16:18.

The Lord adds you to his church when you become obedient to the requirements of salvation....hear the truth, believe Jesus is the son of God, repent or change from your sins, confess Jesus as Lord and be immersed (baptism) in water for the forgiveness of your sins. Acts 2:38-47, 22:16, 8:32-35, I Peter 3:21, Mark 16:15,16, Romans 6:1-6, Matt.10:32,33, Romans 10:17, Rom.10:9-10, Luke 13:3

The Lord adds you to his church when you are buried in baptism with him. Acts 2:47 and Romans 6:1-6.

The churches of Christ salute you...Romans 16:16

Answer 6

Truth cannot be found in religion, Truth can only be found within yourself, regardless of what religion you associate with. All religion was created by wise men or prophets to honor their God(s). Religion should be treated only as a guide to reach that ultimate destination, heaven/nirvana etc. That said, the truth cannot be found in the text of scriptures or "holy" words, but rather in your observations and understanding of the natural flow of this world.

Edit: I see a lot of answers talking about Jesus Christ being the truth. Well, I love and respect Jesus Christ with all of my heart, but he is the truth only to himself. Yes, there are many who imitate Him to get closer to finding the truth (imitation being a great learning tool), but ultimately, you, as an individual, will have to figure out your own truth. The truth is ever-changing, and individuals must adapt and modernize it to their own personal lives.

It is not the religion that is important, it is your HEART and how you live with your life.

Answer 7

judaism was the FIRST monotheistic religion. I believe judaism is the truth for its holy scriptures were passed down from God himself. Both Christians and Jews, and i believe Muslims as well, believe in Moses, and Moses a prophet of God and a leader of the Jewish people. Jesus was Jewish, which for the Christians, has to say something (I guess you could call the Jews old-fashioned) In Judaism we believe that Jesus was just a normal guy. We stand fast by our God, and are not shaken by ideas such as Jesus being the son of God. Muslims are descendants of Abraham, just as are Jews, but they go off into another branch. They are not the descendants of Abraham and Sarah. I do not have enough background in polytheistic or atheistic religions to say anything about them, but to me Judaism is the truth because it came first, and has stayed true throughout all time.

Answer 8

Jesus Christ is the "TRUTH, THE WAY, AND THE LIFE", you cannot see God, nor get into Heaven unless you go through Him....I have yet to find any words of Christ's where He ever mentioned the word religion in the Bible....Jesus looks upon the hearts of men, not what you call yourself. Following Christ is the true religion, each person's relationship with the Living Christ. Believe me there are those who call themselves "by a religious doctrine" who are not believers in Jesus Christ, even Jesus called the 'Holy" Sadducees and Pharasees 'Hypocrits', 'false guides'....Lose the word, 'religion' and replace it with 'Christian' meaning one who follows Jesus Christ and accepts His sacrafice for their sins in his heart and does what Jesus commanded us to: 1. Keep the Commandments, 2. Love God with all your mind, heart, soul and strength and 3. Love One another as I have loved you! Jesus =Truth=Love=Faith=Salvation=Eternal Life! God Bless you!

Answer 9

God works in mysterious ways, and He is able to make Himself known in all cultures, in many ways, in any way He chooses. Man has created religion, and now worships his own religion.

Answer 10

Ok here's the thing...there is no such thing as a "true" religion...I believe that what religion that you are depends on your experiences, your enviornment and the people around you and their influences...so if someone comes up to you and says that ____ is the "true" religion, they aren't telling you the truth...

Answer 11

I am Pagan but do not consider my beliefs to be the "ultimate truth" or "the only way" Indded Paganism teaches that everyone must be allowed to follow their own path on their way to enlightenment/heaven/summerland/vallhala, or whatever you may call it. I have my own beliefs and my own way of interpreting things and recognize that everyone else has the right to the same.
