Christians, how do you feel about other peoples religion?

Answer 1

I think that if they teach love of God, others and self, then they have at least part of the truth.

I'm Catholic, so I believe the Church has the fullness of the truth, but that doesn't mean I'm allowed to judge other people as going to hell or not. I was taught to respect other people's beliefs even if they're different from mine.

I was taught that the person who is FARTHEST from the truth is the one who says "I have all the right answers, and others who disagree with me are going to hell."

Answer 2

As some have already mentioned, in almost every "religion" there's a smattering of truth to be found...

But.... what does the Bible say about "compromises"? Especially by trying to make God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the Bible more "acceptable"? "Compromising" DOES get people into their churches or organizations and get's money flowing.....but... though man is agreeable to "compromises", God is not.

The only one whom LIKES "compromises" MORE than mankind, is satan.

The problem is, that many good people get fooled into thinking that these "compromises" are "ok"....especially when told or taught to them by someone whom seems so "Godly". So, while there may be people who's hearts truly love God, they are following ways that is condemning them to hell.

Unfair? How? These people have the opportunity to have a close relationship with God by reading the Bible and asking HIM about it...not believe whatever they hear. THEY are responsible for their own decisions....just as much as their false teachers are going to be held responsible for misleading them.

We tell our children that just because their friends say something is ok to do, doesn't mean they will escape being punished if they follow their example without checking things out FIRST as to "truth".

Adults are children in the eyes of the Lord.

Think about it.

Answer 3

I am a Christian, and I myself don't really have a problem with other people religions. I mean, although I see them as wrong to me, it works for that person. I wished everyone could find and accept God and Jesus Christ. I don't want anyone on this earth to go to hell, not a soul, not even people I can't stand sometimes. I have no problem with accepting the way another individual wants to live, as long as they aren't trying to force their religion down another persons throat, or forcing it on anyone who isn't willing to accept it. Of course, anyone who is having a religious issue, I will talk to them about God and my religion and what I know, but if they don't want to hear it, I won't push it on them. Ultimately, that is a decision that they themselves have to make. But I do feel that giving your life to God is amazing, but that is only MY OPINION. Someone else may find another religion to be more suitable and comforting to them. The way I see it is that, I am VERY happy with my religion, or as I really see it, my way of life, but i'm also acceptive of everyone else's religions too. I have no prejudice tword anyone at all. We're all diffrent.

Answer 4

I'm a Catholic, and I have Jewish, Atheist, Agnostic, Muslim, etc. friends. I love them all dearly! It may not be what I believe, but I understand that it's what they believe, and I'm not going to shove my beliefs down their throats. And with religion, I don't ask, and if they tell me, I put it in the back of my head. Life is too short to worry too too much about others religion. I'll lead if they ask, but I won't force.

Answer 5

Honestly, I am rather interested in other people's religions as well. Not saying that I want to convert, but things like that interest me a great deal. I feel that whatever and however someone finds happiness(as long as it doesn't hurt anyone) is great.

Answer 6

I dont have a problem with them, unless they are teaching classes about how evil and how much of a cult mormons are while giving completely incorrect or half truths about my religion, which I know for a fact some have done.

All religions have some truth in them.

Answer 7

Other people's religion is none of my business. But I personally think that if they don't believe and worship the one true God, then they are wrong, and unless they turn from their nonChristinan religion, and come to Jesus, then they will go to Hell. This is a commandment.

Answer 8

Like the first answerer I am Catholic as well and that is exactly what we are taught to believe. All religions have rays of God in them. All seek God and his plan of salvation include all who are faithful to him (ie Muslims, Jews, and various other groups) and those who do not have the gospel show their unity with God by living the beatitude.

There is baptism of desire, by living a good life you show your unity, solidarity and devotion to God. We believe we have the fullness of faith but not exclusive rights to God. God never leaves anyone orphan or abandoned.

So my feelings on others religions (or lack thereof) they are all good, all lead to God, and are all my brothers and sisters.

Answer 9

I love all other religions that have God as their superior. Most religions revolve around the bible and people interpret it anyway they want; that's why they're so many religions. It's like restaurants. We don't just have Mexican and Italian and Chinese restaurants we have billions that are different because they cater to customers needs. They mold to our wants as the bible or it's preachers do.

Answer 10

..or atheists?

The Pope's just had a good go at us atheists.
"It is no accident that this idea [atheism] has led to the greatest forms of cruelty and violations of justice," he wrote. "A world which has to create its own justice is a world without hope."


But "A world marked by so much injustice, innocent suffering and cynicism of power cannot be the work of a good God," (Says Pope Benedict) is inviting it's use in isolation and out of context!

Answer 11

Pretty open minded. I like learning about other people's religion.
