Why is it not possible for all religions to be true? Wouldn't that make sense? God gave us freewill and different personalities. He knew that, and it is possible for Him to have made each religion true. I think that each religion has truth and lies. I do not see why God didnt make all these stories real so that the different people could all be able to get into heaven. All the stories are equallly unbelieveable, yet billions of people believe them. Why is that not possible?

Not all religions are true, because there is only one True God, if a religion does not teach people about God and why things are the way thy are, and back it up in the Bible, that cannot be a "true" religion. Many religions don't like the things that the Bible says are right and wrong but they put their own spin on in to fit their lifestyle, and that's going against God so why would God back them? The Bible is mankinds instruction book yet many refuse to accept it, but those who do and uphold God's standards no matter what are the ones whom he protects.

The world is full of people & that's the truth that everyone will agree. Therefore in that circumstances, there will be different levels of inteligence and the different level of truth will suit the different level of the society. For example, simple truth will be alright with the kids, conventional truth will be fine for the normal people and finally there will be the ultimate truth for those with special trained insight into a subject ( meditation practitioners ). Therefore , it's possible to have more than one truth to any subject.

No, I do not think it is possible that there might be more then one truth. But I do think it's possible for people to have a piece of the truth...but not all of it.
Truth is absolute. It has to be. It exists in it's pure form no matter what we think or believe. It cannot be altered. But our perception of the truth changes and reevaluates often. I think we are to seek the truth in all things...sometimes this means acknowledging that what we know or think...may be wrong.
For instance, I was pro-choice for years. Argued the pro-choice position and felt that I understood the truth of abortion and the necessity for it. I am now pro-life...I've come to this understanding slowly, over time...because I seek God and as I move closer to him, the truth becomes revealed. The truth did not change, I did.

It is NOT possible for there to be more than one truth! The Scripture says, "No man can serve TWO masters (in this case multiple "truths"). For he would love one and hate the other." Also, the Scripture says that there is "ONE Lord, ONE faith, ONE baptism. ONE God and Father of all who is above all through all, and in you all." Unfortunately, the Bible has been so twisted by "religion" down through the years to justify a specific set of moral views, it's almost impossible to delineate one truth from another to find the REAL truth of God!

What about polytheistic religions vs monotheistic religions?
How can there be Zeus and Aphrodite, but yet there is only one god, Yahweh, and still there is the Hindu Idea of Brahman?
On a philosophical level, I would say yes, it is possible to have many truths, but on a realistic level, the answer is an emphatic NO.
If there is many truths, then couldn't a serial killer who believes that he is killing in the name of his god also be correct?

All religions have some degree of truth attached to them, which is how they are designed. There is, however, only one truth; and that truth is the reality of Christ. God gave us a free will to either accept Him, or reject Him. That's it. Has nothing to do with different personalities. Religion is of man. Faith is of God.

To respond to the high-lighted portion of your question, the answer is no. To claim otherwise is to negate the law of non-contradiction and all First Principles of logic. Religious plurality is the problem. The problem is too far gone for there to ever be any sensible and productive dialogue much less agreement and understanding. The damage has been done. As they say in the "High Lander" series- "There can be only one".

Jesus said and no other religion has been able to compare....
"I am the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father except by me."
There are a lot more prophecies fulfilled by Jesus that NO other religion has come close to making such claims as Christ has. I can provide you documented proof....BBS (be back shortly)

No, it's not possible.
Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except by Me.
The Holy Spirit reveals the Truth.
When you receive the Holy Spirit you know the Truth.
