....why doesn't he just smite all of the other religions down with his mighty hand so that there can be no mistake of which one is right?
Unless of course there's really no such thing as a one true religion, seeing as how all of them are man-made by corruptable human greed for control and power over the masses.

wow! thats one of best questions!
as u rightly pointed out in your question ,...main motto of creating religions, gods is to hate, divide, control ,kill & rule simpletons
they are brainwashed with bible/quran etc to stop questioning anything, just like trained dogs (no offence)...they would bite/hurt/abuse someone, who tries to question them..its like mass hysteria!

You seem to be right on the money - in your answer, which I have to agree with.
That world religions believe in a God by proxy - ie. they all speak for God. Of course they would protest, and say 'We only speak about God'. Meaning the same thing.
The God who is not there - does not come forward to claim his kingdom, etc etc. Only in the Bible does he do that - and the Bible is talking about 'past' events - and never the present. Even if you look back 1000 years - you cannot see any evidence for God? Go back 1500 years - and you can... but wait that was a different God? wasn't it???
Maybe the Muslims could claim he was back to provide an update, to replace the old...

oh boy ike you are right on, about the greed, look at the homes the teleavanglist's live in, and the cars they drive, thats not where it at. in the king james bible, it says you can pray in a closet. I think the masses, go because everyone they know goes?? and the masses, build these huge worship centers, and the preacher reep's all the benefits, I think if one follows the 10 commandements of god, and reads the King James bible, you can't loose, and you can do it at home. but your right about control and way too much horsepower!!! but some people are like sheep, they just follow, and thosekinda preachers know that. they get greedy and corrupt/ you made a good point. God bless ya.

No.
Religion is not of God, but a bottomless pit.
Joh 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
Joh 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

God never endorsed any religion. Nowhere in the Bible can we read Jesus endorsing even Judaism. Jesus was more interested with us having a genuine relationship with Him. That we come to know Him and believe that He is the Son of God and accept the salvation He offers. John 3:16 makes it clear for us. Relationship is what God desires from us most, not religion.

This remark needs to be repeated: "notice: to any JW that foolishly factors out the blunders in thinking that a number of Jesus' disciples expressed (i.e. Peter) as rationalization why the OR has additionally had to "make alterations", those misspoken words befell till now the Holy Spirit became poured out in the top chamber. The collective thinking and teachings of the apostles after that remarkable experience (Acts 2: a million-4) have been somewhat acceptable, have been they no longer?" thank you kit, that could desire to silence various jw elders on YA who consistently evaluate their 'spirit directed' blunders to blunders made by utilising the apostles and disciples beforehand of 33CE. superb

ROMANS 1:17 explains that the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith. To understand Him fully, there are levels, progression of faith in which a person must pass through in order to understand completely who God is.
When you finally reach the end, you'll find the Son - the complete manifestation of the Father, and this is the absolute faith that all men must adhere and subscribe to.

because of choice- and the desire for the world to come to Him and experience that grace that He gives. Without choice,we would have to believe in the One True Living God- through His son Christ- I would much rather admit I am a sinner and choose Him as my Savior, and love Him enough to choose to obey.;

G*D doesn't play favourites!
Every religion celebrates what has been revealed to them.
There is some truth revealed about G*D in all religions.
Religions are to guide us through this life to the next.
G*D wants all of us to grow in knowledge of HIM.
It's how we treat one another that is important.
