How can you be so sure you belong to the right religion?

Question

According to the World Christian Encyclopaedia and verified through other independent research. There are at least 150 major world religions. Which contain at least one million followers for each religion. Since you only practice one of these religions. You have a 0.6% chance of having the correct religion. This also means there is a 99.4% chance you are practising the wrong religion. So how do you know for sure you belong to the right religion?
How can you be certain someone else will go to hell since not all religions have those beliefs?

Answer 1

I'm certain no one's going to hell.

Or heaven.

Maybe some day you can go to Detroit.

Answer 2

You know when the religion is right and truthful. When you can find in God's word. I don't see the Bible mentioning any Baptists, Methodist, Catholic, Buddism, Jehovah's witness and all that religion. The problem is that 99.4% is comfortable...and that's a damned shame cuz I hope those 99.4% be comfortable when they're burnin for eternal life. If you looking for the truth, stop going to these 150 major world religions. I'm a member of the Church of Christ and I usually don't comment on religion things like this because all these religion came up through man. Jesus said he only has one church...WHICH MEANS THERE IS ONLY ONE RELIGION..Look, I know I can't change anyone minds about their religion because they're comfortable, or maybe they dont' want to disappoint family, or maybe they don't want to pay me any mind..that's cool I just hope that 0.06% of the whole world don't be the only ppl enter into heaven...and that my friends is the bottom line.

Answer 3

Christianty offers a Christ who died for everyone and was raised from the dead. He lives today and always will. No other religion offers such a Savior. Of course, a person has to have faith. Even though science is discovering new things all the time that reinforce the Bible, there is no concrete evidence. God wants everyone to go to heaven but He won't require anyone do so. To prove Himself would be the same as forcing us to go. He wants us to follow in faith.

Answer 4

Everyone on this planet needs to learn to stop "defending" their individual religious beliefs; through the practice of harming, killing, enslaving, or oppessing people who follow 'other' spirirtual paths!

There has only been one 'religion' in which a man Gave His Life for All People. His One and Only Commandment was to "Love Our Neighbor as We do Ourself". What is so hard about "believing and following" that one commandment?

Oh, I forgot, it is because there are a lot of hatefilled people in this world; who would rather be disrespectful to others than treat them as equals!

Answer 5

There is only one way to know if you or anyone else is in the right religion. God tells us what truth is in His Holy Word, His love letter to us. and if a religious organization is not teaching all of the word and that we must obey it, and that the only true God is the God of the Holy BIble with the teachings of JEsus, then that is false religion.
We have a hundred per cent chance of finding the correct religion if we check it all agaisnt whhat the Bible says.
God tells us what gets us to Heaven and what sends us to Hell in His word. So if we use that, we will just know. we dont know the teachings of anything else to know what God says.
His word is enough.

Answer 6

The Holy Ghost can reveal the right religion to you. "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not. But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting." James 1:5
"By the power of the Holy Ghost, ye may know the truth of all things". Moroni 10:5
You are right, it can be confusing. That is why we need God's help in making such an important decision. Don't rely upon your own wisdom. Ask God to help you find the right faith. If you are sincere in your desire, exhibit faith in Christ and humbly present your petition before Him, He will guide you to the truth via the promptings of the Holy Ghost.

Answer 7

the international Warming as of Al Gore is organic hype in case you question me. Many wallet are reaping some large reward of his hypocrisy. further and further scientists are popping out and denouncing the "so pronounced as medical conclusions" of Al Gore's international Warming. This debate should not be over. In attempting to triumph over a organic phenomena, we are able to greater effective than probably reason greater drastic injury to the environmental destiny. Do you have a "link" on your essay, could be stable reading.

Answer 8

I know my religion is right for ME
I do not go by what other people might think to tell me...YOU do what YOU want and so will I...
I have studied MANY Religions through the years...and being a Christian is right for ME.

Answer 9

Because Jesus Himself started the religion to which I belong, Roman Catholicism. See Matthew 16.

All the other religions are a result of humanity's tendency to "branch out" and start forming other groups. Most of them contain at least some religious truth -- but Catholicism contains the fullness of it.

Answer 10

Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so.

There has been only ONE man who died for the sins of the world and rose from the dead, and returned to the Father that we may believe and go there also.

Some people are happy with "wanna be god ideas" but the rest of us follow the REAL GOD.

Answer 11

trust me if I knew i'd tell ya. I hate it! Im a catholic and my mom says itis right. but how do you know when you go to a catholic school and all the public school kids say that you school blows (and worse stuff). I cant stand it.

I guess you can pray and seek guidance.

good luck
