Sure there is a Creator for this wold, however, but I have to know which religion He accepts.

Then, I have to ask, which religion has a proof that it is correct?

2007-07-01 00:00:01 · 10 answers · asked by Top 2 in Society & Culture Religion & Spirituality

My Logic is:

1- This world has a creator, the world cannot create himself, and it is impossible to come by chance.

2- All the world following same rules, this will lead to the creator is only one. Different creators is impossible.

3- Such Great Creator will never leave us without evidence, to know him and follow his messenger(s).

4- The messenger(s) has to has these evidences, so, we can beleive in him.

5- These evedences must be very clear very clear, and not depending on feeling, it must talk to our MINDS.

Your Logic seems OK. It's not so easy to find what you need, however, it is an important issue and effort is required.

To shorten your search, start with the most famous religions in the world, don't care about their believers, check the source and use your own judge.

The last advice, be fair...

You are going about the question backwards. The right question is which religion does God approve? We can go all week bragging about man's accomplishments, it won't amount to anything. Man can not give life or resurrect from the dead.

To be correct, we would have to follow the Bible's instructions carefully.

For instance, through out the Bible, God shows an intolerance for divided worship and loyalties. He will not accept worshipers who have false gods or idols or beliefs. The true religion would have nothing to do with beliefs of pagan origin. Teachings, celebrations, activities that can be traced back to pagans, the true religion would avoid.

If any religion had a belief the Bible was against, they could never be the true religion. When the Bible at Eccles. 9:5,10 says the dead cannot think or feel or have any awareness at all, it means those teaching the dead are roasting in torment or in bliss playing harps are wrong.

At Ez. 18:4, where it says the soul dies, those that teach immortality of the soul are not the true religion.

If the clergy is more concerned over your credit rating than your spiritual health and well being, they cannot be followers of Jesus Christ as he said, "You recieved free, give free." (Matt. 10:8) Paul's words at 2Thess. 3:7-10 are an example to Christians. Even the apostles worked jobs to not be a burden on the congregations.

Most importantly, the true religion would know who God is and who Jesus is. God is a title like president. It is not His personal name. Psalms 83:18 tells that name and the true religion would use it.

Jesus is the only son personally created by God. As Proverbs 8:30 describes him "a master worker". John 1:3 shows Jesus was used to create all things afterward. He is the "us" refered to by when God said, "Let US make man in our image." Jesus spoke of his pre-human existence in John 8:58 where he said,"...before Abraham came into existence, I have been." He also clearly shows he was not any part of a trinity by saying plainly, "My Father is greater than I." (John 14:28)

The true followers of Christ would all "speak in agreement" with no divisions among themselves. (1Corin. 1:10) It is difficult to go 5 miles on the same road and find 2 churches that teach the same thing even if they claim the same faith. Clearly the true religion would teach and believe the same no matter where in the world you went.

They would be like the Beroeans who examined the scriptures to check whether the things the apostles told them were so. (Acts 17:11) To test the inspired expressions to see if they originated with God. (1John 4:1)

That is some of the guidelines to see if a religion is the true one. Now, seek it out!

I don’t believe there’s any way to accurately count the number of gods that have been worshipped throughout history since many gods (if not all) may have been known by different names in different religious groups and societies.

Although most Christians believe in only one God, this is not what the original Hebrew scriptures tell us. In Genesis 1:1, as well as in 2601 other places in the Old Testament. the word God is translated from the Hebrew word 'ĕlôhîym which literally means gods. It's plural.

In the beginning, the gods created the heavens and the earth. Yhovah (yehôvâh) isn't mentioned until Gen 2:4, after the seventh day. At that point, he took over possession of the earth. The word earth comes from the Hebrew 'erets ,which can mean either the Earth as a whole or an area of land.

The Bible speaks of other gods…either by name - i.e. Baal, Ashtoreth or by insinuation. For example: Ex. 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. And Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image.

Since Christianity and Judaism are monotheistic religions, the plurality is, and always has, been ignored. Throughout history the translators of the Bible have always translated the plural word as a singular.

There are many similarities in some of the doctrines and other beliefs (such as creation or the flood) between the worlds religions

I believe that two possibilities exist to explain the similarities between different religions both past and present.

Yhovah may have been known by different names by people that spoke different languages and He may have had different plans for the different cultures. One good example of this is the fact that Muslims, who are descended from Abraham, call God Allah and certainly live by different religious doctrine.

Though as a Christian, I‘m less inclined to believe that explanation covers all the worlds religions. I’m more inclined to believe that Yhovah is the God of Jews and Christians (and as Allah to the Muslims) whereas there were (and still may be) other gods who were in charge of other cultures, civilizations and nations. As a matter of fact, The Aramaeans used the Babylonian pronunciation Bel for Baal; Bel became the Greek Belos who was identified with Zeus (that‘s four gods right there, all stemming from one). It’s quite possible that many, if not all, of the gods that we consider false or mythical may be quite real.

The scriptures clearly tell us that there are other gods (not to be confused with idols which are mentioned separately). The surviving religions of the world, as well as some extinct ones, show many similarities and there are historical clues that confirm this.

To answer your questions:

There is no reason why any one god should be more believable than any other…it’s a matter of personal choice. I believe in many gods…I choose to worship only Yhovah because the Bible (when studied in the original languages) is the only comprehensive religious text that explains and/or elaborates on subjects like creation, other gods and the prophesy of the Savior as well as the fulfillment of that prophesy. In addition, the Bible is one of only two religious texts that has had parts of it proven by archeology and other branches of science. (The Qur'ān being the other one and I'm counting the Torah as part of the Bible).

Proof? Proof is defined as "The evidence or argument that compels the mind to accept an assertion as true." My mind has been compelled to accept Yhovah as being my Creator by the evidence I've examined throughout my life...therefore, I have my proof.

Others have proof of who they believe the Creator is (or that there is no creator) based on evidence that compels their minds to believe a certain way.

At the current time, there is still no physical proof (as in the Ark of the Covenant or Noah's ark being discovered) that would give credence to any religious beliefs.

Honestly we don't have the answers to everything wrote in the bible. The truth is we are disciples(learners/followers)of Jesus and this makes us Christians. Jesus spoke that there would be deception among his followers. He also left leaders in charge of what was to be revealed by his spirit. We have only the bible and christ Jesus as a guide. Romans 15;4, For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures may have hope. Deuteronomy 29;29, The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children forever. Daniel 12; And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

Bible speaks of a Creator and of a Maker:
- of things created as being imperfect,
- of things made as being made perfect.

God said: Let us MAKE man(of child/man),
and two before/after options to be played out;
notably for the compare-i-son of law vs grace:
- in our image: them: created imperfect: law
- after our likeness: us: made perfect: grace

Which (law/grace) things are an "allegory".

Such law/grace are compared as two wisdoms:
- wisdom that's earthy, sensual, devilish: law
- firstly pure wisdom from above the law: grace
It notes firstly pure grace is also firstly peace-able,
of the seven things that pure grace is in James 3.

Bible also compares two sorts of "religion":
- IMPure religion: Law = both good and evil
- Pure religion: Grace = good only, never evil

James 1:27 on Pure Religion: Pure Grace:
Pure religion paid a "visit" (not a ransom);
Arrived undefiled and Remained unspotted,
in a come & go visitation to the "afflicted",
with a bad case of Life + Death = Dead.

Grace neither tempts(laws),
nor can be tempted(lawed).

Grace cannot lie(law) nor die(law).
Law Law religions notably do both.

Which things are a "mystery" to solve in time,
lest all perish by the using of ordinances(laws)
instead of none perish by grace void of laws.

"The God of all grace" (no law at all)
MAKE you: perfect ........ stablished,
"after" ye(do err) suffer awhile with law.

The grace(only) of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Sorry, no creator, and no religions are correct.


Nobody can prove any gods, much less a specific god, exist; many people will tell you their god exists but no others, but will never be able to prove it, even if they think so. Some will threaten you with eternal pain or promise eternal joy to get you to believe in their god; these are all stories, created for people who were scared long before we understood the universe. Now we have no more reason for these superstitions.

If you interpret this as all living things, then it can be proven in Organic Chemistry-Carbon based.

I see it in terms of everything in the Universe.

Pantheism-"God" exists in nature.
We are all "God" , not with out, but rather...within, all.
