how do you know your religion is true and others arent?

Question

if youre born in a country that is mostly christian, you will most likely be christian or atheist(because christian countries give the right). if youre born in muslim country, you will most likely be muslim. same for hindus, same for buddhists. most people dont choose their religion, its taught to them.

but who taught you that your religion is true and the other religions are false? an old book? every religion claims to have miracles. every religion has contradictions and proof for itself. why do you think your religion is better or truer than another, if most of you have never tried it? if there is someone who has tried *all* religions and says that my toilet seat is the true god, then ok.

they all claim that they are the right way. why? any "god" could have done the miracle right? even a toilet seat.

Answer 1

All that matters is my religion is true for me. It helps me spiritually progress and has the answers I need.

Answer 2

The bible does not agree with the modern view that there are many acceptable ways to worship God. Ephesians 4:5 says there is "one lord, one faith." Jesus stated: "Narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it....Not everyone saying to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will."
Matt.7:13,14,21; see also 1Corinthians 1:10.

Repeatedly the Scriptures refer to the body of true Christian teachings as "the truth." (1Tim. 3:15; 2John 1; 2Pet. 2:2) because Jehovah's Witnesses base all of their beliefs, their standards for conduct, and organizational procedures on the Bible, their faith in the Bible itself as God's Word gives them the conviction that what they have is indeed the truth. So my/our (Jehovah's Witnesses) position is not egotistical but demonstrates their confidence that the Bible is the right standard against which to measure one's religion. I/We (Jehovah's Witnesses) are not self-centered but are eager to share my/our (Jehovah's Witnesses) beliefs with others.

Answer 3

I was not taught my religion...I found my own understanding through direct experience.

All the religions have some right and some wrong...there is not one religion that totally has it right. All the religions lead to the same place...many have had this view, including Sri Ramakrishna (known for trying to spread this idea).

Answer 4

Or if you live in a Christian country you could be buddhist, confucist, Islamic, Jewish, etc....

You HAVE to choose your religion...it's NEVER forced on you...it's your choice to follow it or not.

I received a personal revelation from God that it is true...that's how I know.

Every church claims they're church is the right one...because if they were like "our church isn't right...but come worship here anyway!!!!" I doubt people would...

Answer 5

There are now 4,900 different religions and 'supreme beings' in recorded history of mankind. The odds that Christianity is right?
1 / 4900 = .00020408

Answer 6

Because I am better than everyone else. Everyone else in the world is misled, but America is God's own country and He formed it as an oasis to heathenism. The LORD will come back soon and kill roughly 4 billion men, women and children. And in that blessed day, Christians will rejoice and feast in Heaven. Praise Jayzus-uh!

Answer 9
