avoid the bickering between Jews, Christians, Muslims, Jehovah Witnesses, etc.? Every religion want the other religions to convert to their religion (wait, that kind of made sense). What happens when everyone converts to a single religion? What religion should everybody convert to?

God didn't create religion, people did. There is no one true religion, although that point can be, and has been, argued to death. Why should anyone have to convert, anyway? What's wrong with "live and let live?"

Like others have said before me...he did create only one religion. Humans have created to have control and power.
Many people think that humanity & religion first started with Judaism/Christianity. It did not. It has been scientifically proven that all life began in Egypt & the Egyptians did not practice Christianity.
The problem with history today is that it too has been altered to fit those that are in power. There is a whole history of people that have been changed & ommitted. Do some research for yourself. Don't take my word for it.

God didn't create *any* religion! He sent His only begotten Son to redeem mankind from sin and man has created all kinds of religion to explain what God has *really* done and why! Many of God's chosen people rejected His Son as their long-awaited Messiah; however, those who did and do accept Jesus as Messiah, began to be called Christians, along with Gentiles who accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior and were thus, effectively, adopted into the body of God's Chosen People, who shall be the Bride of Christ! Every religion, starting with (probably), the Roman Catholic Church, started developing rules, sacraments, etc., not unlike those the Pharisees had developed in Judaism; but *not* included in the laws that God had handed down! Some of these include infant baptism, transubstantiation, perpetual virginity of Mary, mother of Jesus, celibacy of the priesthood, infallibility of the Pope, selling of indulgences, confessions to priests, asking dead "saints" to intercede for us, etc.
Of course, others have *completely* subverted and/or perverted what God instructs and Jesus teaches; for example, the Muslims, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, Masons, Seventh Day Adventists.

There is only one religion that is recognized by God at this time. In the Old Testament, the old laws were for the nation of Israel. Once the Old Testament was fulfilled and the New Testament was in place, Christianity was born. The old laws were no longer in effect and the Israelites were no longer considered the chosen people. The laws of the Old Testament predate any man-made religions.
Christianity is the only "religion" found in the Bible and is the only one recognized by God.
Jesus only founded one church, the church of Christ in 33AD.
All other religions and denominations are simply man-made.

Religions all come from different interpretations of the one Holy Bible. God's written Word.
Problem is: Most of said religions have added their own traditions down through the ages, and have diluted the Word so they do not even speak the whole truth anymore.
Christianity to me and many others is generic.....meaning that it is simply what God's Word, with nothing else added to it. We see the bible for what it is.....the only Word of God.
Will everyone convert? NO, not everyone will be saved and be with Christ in Heaven......the rest will be left behind to face damnation.

God did create one religion, it was called Judaism. The Christians and Muslims branched off from it because of Jesus' supposed Resurrection, etc etc.
And nobody is going to convert to a single religion, I'm sorry to say. We're just to different to get along in that regard.

God didn't create any religion. Religion, by it's nature, is man's attempt to connect with God. Some of these attempts group together, right down their experiences etc, and religions form. There is a possibility that each contains some truth, or that one is comprised of total truth - what is unlikely is that any one knows all the truth. That is where God really reigns supreme!

God didn't create religions. We did. If god can be considered to have created a religion, it was the Church that Christ established, that went Apostate after the Disciples were killed, and wasn't on the earth again until God the Father and his son, Jesus Christ appeared to Joseph Smith. Nothing will happen if everyone converts to the same religion, unless it is the right religion, and something tells me not everyone will become Mormon.......besides, no one will be able to agree on religions. ever.

It is only the ignorant that wants to convert people to their religion.Jesus talked about the unbelievers.He didnt call them Jews ,Muslems etc , but unbelievers.In christianity you get unbelievers.They are the ones that promote killing.In islaam you get unbelievers,in Judaism you get unbelievers.The so called Religious people think that by converting you must make a muslem a christian ,not an unbelieving christian a believer.All religions were created by God .Christianity was only created for the poor people in israel that time ,Because the pharisees didnt want the poor in the church

God did not create religion, man did. Religion is not a good thing. I myself just believe what the bible says.
Islam is the newest religion of all religions.
