How do you know that your holy book is true and other are false?

Question

Judaism / Christian / Muslim holy books present different gods, different ways of pleasing him, leading a life, and going to heaven or hell. If you look at details, they are not similar at all.
To present one as valid is to present the other as invalid.

My question - how do you know yours is the true one,
when plenty of other people are saying their book is the one,
and they feel it in their heart, or say that god told them so ?

Could it be that they are deluded and you are not ?

So- for people who have a feeling of a presence in their life and are linking it to one of the major religions: how do you know this feeling is indicating that this or this religion is the True One ?

Could it be
1)indicating of a divine presence, that is not described by any major religion
2)you have eaten too much ?

Answer 1

thats why its called faith

Answer 2

There is only ONE God. The same God for Islam, Christianity, Judaism and the entire universe.

The Bible and The Torah were from God but man changed/edited much of these books. They no longer remain God's true word, it is mostly the word of MAN.

Put 100 Bibles or 100 Torahs together and you'll see that they are different. But of you put 100 Qurans together (Arabic) you'll see they are ALL THE SAME, not one single word will have been altered. This is because after man corrupted the word of the Bible and Torah, God promised never to let the word of the Quran be changed. It has remained the same since it was revealed.

Answer 3

The Jews were commanded by God to preserve their holy book, the Torah. The responsibility for preserving these early divine scriptures thus fell to their followers, whereas it was God who Himself shouldered the burden of keeping the Qur’an intact: ‘We have, without doubt, sent down the Message, and We will assuredly guard it.’ (15:9) Earlier scriptures were books of God just as the Qur’an was. The only difference was that the bearers of those books failed in their task of preserving them, and hence they lost their original qualities. As for the Qur’an, God having taken it upon Himself to provide His special divine succour for its safeguarding, it remained in its pristine state. The Quran has been in memorization ever since it was revealed. Muslims memorize the Quran before it was written. It was later written out of fear for loosing the people who memorized it. But till this day people still memorize the Quran word for word, its been passed down through generations like a families history. Verily, We Ourselves have sent down this Exhortation, and most surely We will be its Guardian, (Al-Hijr, 15:10) But most importantly, no where in any other holy book does it say that God will make sure it will never change not even a letter. Instead God told the believers to keep it safe, but that didn't work out. So with the Quran God clearly states that the Quran will never change. And for those who say it has changed, why is that Muslims are so "old-fashioned". Like many people say we are stuck in the 7th century. Which is kind of true. We change who we are to fit the Quran. Other religions change their books to fit the people and the times. That isn't the way of Islam. And it will never be the way of Islam. The truth is in the Quran.

Answer 4

They are all right. The problem is in how you believe the scriptures should be received. At their root they are all about the same thing because they are all esoteric allegories about realities of mind and being. They all have the same numerical values which reflect realities within us. The objectives are the same; for Yeshua's way manifesting the Inner kingdoms within yourself, Islam manifesting inner mecca (the travel by night to the Holy Mosque within Spiritual Mecca, and the Judaisms travel out of Egypt into the Promise Land. It's objectives are all the same and a person of wisdom knows that they are essentially the same, although they are all corrupted.

The Torah speaks of Animal sacrifices which was referring to the animal we must put to death within ourselves, the NT refers to leaving no thoughts idle, to put to death whatever belongs to your earthly nature, to bridle the tongue and the Ou'ran speaks of Jihad which is the struggle within between your earthly nature and your spiritual nature and the need to become balance and whole in submission to the truth. It's all the same thing. Just as there were 12 Tribes of Israel there were 12 apostles of Yeshua, and in the Ou'ran I believe Mohammad had 12 wives and the Tree of life in the revelations is depicted of having 12 fruits that grow from its branches and the Tree of Life in mystic circles deem it the perfected mind.

Answer 5

i can't get you out of my head. As long as you're here with me. I don't care who you are, where you're from, what you did. as long as you love me.
Every little thing that you have said and done, feels like it's deep within me.

Well....I think that they're all rellated somehow..and everyone should be accepting, and open minded. I mean, people should take into account the view points and ideas of other people, but not push their beliefs on others.
