Why do Christians consider any religion that is not Christianity to be nothing more than Satanism?

Answer 1

I have come to the conclusion that being under the banner of Christianity is actually the Mark of the Breast spoken of in the Bible. They are fooled.

Answer 2

As much as there are good elements in many religions such as showing kindness respect etc. Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life no man comes to the father but by me. He also said all that came before him were thieves and liars. As much as other religions can have good practises they don't deal with the sin nature. Which is why he said a man needs to be born again. Other religions may teach that your good deeds can get you into heaven Christianity says its not enough. You still need to deal with the sin nature. Besides how can you possibly know when you reach that magic mark where your good deeds have surpassed your bad ones?

Answer 3

I am a Christian and I do not think that every other religion is nothing more than satanism...you need to get the facts straight before you accuse a whole entire group of people of something like this. Maybe you have run into a few people who think like this, and if so, you need to make your statement reflect that.

Answer 4

Using the word Satanism is going a little too far. However we do believe that there is only one way to God and that one way is putting your trust in Christ. All other ways are false and Satan is the father of all lies and deception . We do believe that they are deceived by Satan while they may not worship him directly.

2 John 1:7 - For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.8 Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things that we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward.
9 Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son.10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him: for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.

Answer 5

Jesus Himself said that He was the only way to God the Father (John 14:6), and that anyone who was not for Him was against Him (Matthew 12:30 and Luke 11:23). Christians should love everyone, regardless of what gods they profess to worship. But the gods themselves are nothing but counterfeits that draw people away from the true God--just like Satan.

Answer 6

I believe that Christianity and Judaism are of God, the rest I do believe are of Satan. Why? Because Satan wants to add as much confusion as possible so that fewer will receive salvation and more will join him in hell (misery does love company!). We are warned that Satan will appear as an angel of light. He is the great deceiver. So it is only natural for us to beleive that other religions are a deception of the Truth by Satan.

Answer 7

Your answer is simple people. Peoples religious views are based primarily upon how they are raised. If you are raised to be christian then your gonna be christian. If you are raised as a muslim then you are gonna be a muslim. I personnally believe in Jesus Christ as My Lord and Savior. However I do not approve of all the different branches of Christianity. They were originally supposed to be one faith however, They split off primarily because people werent hearing what they wanted to hear. They preferred an easier path. Well my friends that easier path is taking you straight to hell. As for me I do not claim to be a Christian . While I believe in god I also have issues with the concept of religious ceremony in these days and times its become another chain like McDonalds. The whole believe in me or go to hell thing is the kinda thing a dictator would say. But Ive found that isnt the message that Jesus was giving he was simply telling people to love one another as he first loved them. Where people get all these stupid practices is beyond me. But in answer to your question. People believe these other practices to be the same as satanism simply because they do not understand them. and as we all know after 10000 years people still fear what they do not understand. If you are going to judge somebody first know what you are talking about thats all I have to ask.

Answer 8

Don't you mean "a few" Christians?
When you get a little older, you will find that your idea of "Christianity" is limited to what you encounter in your own neighborhood, and does not reflect the Christian religion on a global scale. This belief, in particular, is limited to a handful of denominations that just happen to flourish in the USA, but represent less than 5% of Christians world wide.

Answer 9

What?! Satanism is the worship of Satan. There are religions I don't agree with, and others I just don't understand, but I do not automatically classify every other possible known belief system as Satanism.

Answer 10

Christians believe God and the Bible. Everybody else is involved in man-made religions or satan if that is what you believe.

Answer 11

The second commandment:
Exodus 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
