Can you think of a religion that follows the Bible?

Question

you know, as opposed to those that have incorporated traditions (including pagan ones) into their doctrines?

Answer 1

yes I can.
Even better, I know of such a religion.

Answer 2

As of now what I witness here in R&S would be the Jehovah Witnesses. No traditions (holidays or government) do they follow. Everything they say here is backed up with scriptures (accurate Book, chapter, verse). To be fair to others though; there are some members of their religion that say they have been wrongly judged and abused by the Leader's and the members. So what goes on IN their church; I can't say.
Dear gef 1, your are mistaken about there is not one true church. This is my backup to clarify that you are wrong:
Matthew 16, v.18. 19: And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades (hell) will not overcome it. 19) I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth, will be loosed in heaven.
Dear Sunestauromai: Non denominational; is exactly what kind of church? If a person goes to that church, what are they to expect? I mean a church should have a solid foundation to stand on right?
Where's the "true church"?

Answer 3

yes Jehovah Witnesses follow the bible and do not incorporate pagan doctrines. learn about us at www.watchtower.org

Answer 4

As Jehovah's Witnesses, we strive to imitate the first century Christians as closely as possible. the 1st true Christians were not involved in paganistic rituals, neither are we.

we adhere to God's Word,the bible, as our authority

we use God's personal name in our worship

a guiding factor in our lives, our ministry,our worship; in all we do is--love . Not commercialism or any thing of the like. we don't take part in political affairs

after reviewing your bible and compare it with these few (but major in importance) points here-- I'm sure you'll see that this is a religion/way of life that follows what is written there

Answer 5

Many religious groups claim they follow the Bible, but IMO only Jehovah's Witnesses actually do. Many use it to some extent. But do they really teach and practice what it contains? Consider: (1) From most of their Bible translations they have removed the name of the true God thousands of times. (2) The Trinity doctrine, their concept of God himself, is borrowed from pagan sources and was developed in its present form centuries after Bible writing was completed. (3) Their belief in immortality of the human soul as the basis for continued life is not taken from the Bible; it has roots in ancient Babylon. (4) The theme of Jesus’ preaching was the Kingdom of God, and he sent his disciples out to talk personally to others about it; but the churches today seldom mention that Kingdom and their members are not doing the work of preaching “this good news of the kingdom.” (Matt. 24:14) (5) Jesus said that his true followers could be readily identified by their self-sacrificing love for one another. Is that true of the religions of Christendom when the nations go to war? (6) The Bible says that Christ’s disciples would be no part of the world, and it warns that whoever wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God; but the churches of Christendom and their members are deeply involved in the political affairs of the nations. (Jas. 4:4)

It seems the differences are clear then, at least they are to me. The Bible calls the worldwide empire of false religion Babylon the Great and warns us at Rev. 18:4 And I heard another voice out of heaven say: “Get out of her, my people, if YOU do not want to share with her in her sins, and if YOU do not want to receive part of her plagues. 5 For her sins have massed together clear up to heaven, and God has called her acts of injustice to mind.....

Why? Rev. 18:2 And he cried out with a strong voice, saying: “She has fallen! Babylon the Great has fallen, and she has become a dwelling place of demons and a lurking place of every unclean exhalation and a lurking place of every unclean and hated bird! 3 For because of the wine of the anger of her fornication all the nations have fallen [victim], and the kings of the earth committed fornication with her, and the traveling merchants of the earth became rich due to the power of her shameless luxury.”

Thank you for the question.

Answer 6

There is no such thing as it is an impossibility. Scripture was not meant to start religion, its like buying a fork to cut meat, you can do it but it's not the forks purpose and everone will use the fork to cut it differently, such as with the handle or with the prongs or with the side of the prongs etc. Scripture was written to describe the writers deeper experience of God in regards to tradition history and mythology. If there is a statue of a finger pointing to the moon, the moon is the subject but the town fool calls all his friends around to look at this fascinating finger totally ignoring the moon.

Answer 7

There is only one true religion that adheres soley to the Bible as the authority for all its beliefs.That religion is Jehovah's Witnesses.

Answer 8

Yes.Jehovah's Witnesses

Answer 9

Many mainstream Ministers and priests and Nuns do there best to follow the teachings of Jesus and to live their life that way and to guide their congregations that way.
The exception is evangelicals and Fundies who scream about the Bible try to force their way of living on others and twist its words to their own ends.

Answer 10

In fact the only CHURCH which keeps the whole of the Bible . .. the Catholic Canon of Sacred Scripture . .. is the HOLY Roman Catholic Church . ..

Matthew 5:19  He therefore that shall break one of these least commandments, and shall so teach men, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But he that shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

LOVE your neighbor as yourself.
Amen.
