Religion is progressively revealed through the universal educators that have appeared from age to age. Therefore all the major faiths teach the same fundamental truth. The social teachings change from age to age as humanity progresses, while truth is enlarged and expanded as humans grow in power and understanding. All humanity benefits and is affected by the power released with each renewal of religion, whether humanity recognizes the source or not. Today's universal educator is Baha'u'llah. He has expanded upon what has been taught about God and the spiritual nature of humanity in the previous religions and has brought new social teachings suited for a planetary civilization.

Well let me explain this to you in a few different ways.
Compare the different denominations to the different grade levels of learning. Lets call it the difference between feeding your brain and feeding your Spirit.
Schooling : We have to go through K,1st grade in order to get to the 2nd, 3rd ,4th all the way up until we have learned all we can in order to graduate. For those who desire more learning go on to collage... Meaning different levels of grades are different levels of learning. ( some good teachers, some not so good.) Sorta like feeding the brain of a child.
Compare to different denominations. (Some good Preachers, some not so good.) Mostly all teach the basics, this is what the Bible calls milk and honey.
Eventually you desire meat and potatoes, so you move onto other churches who will feed your soul more Spiritual food. All these Churches are like different levels of learning.
All churches who teach the word of GOD have all been given different measures of faith, and gifts. Some are more giving than others.
Example the Catholic and the Baptist churches have helped more people, being they were poor, needy, the fatherless, elderly, or widowed, than any other denominational churches that I know of.
When I was starving and had no way to feed my children, the Catholic church was always there and they do not judge you nor deny you by what you believe or disbelieve. I thank GOD for the Catholic church.
The Baptist church, I was able to know of John 3:16 and receive the gift of Jesus, because they went from door to door in even some nasty neighborhoods and even ruder people. Came to my home and talked my mother into letting me go to church. I Thank GOD for the Baptist church, which was also where I learned years later that I was suppose to be baptized in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
I learned about baptism in the Lutheran church, and in a non-denominational church, I learned I needed to be submerged into the water. I also learned speaking of tongues and was healed, I also learned of prophecy, I was prophesied over and I and others have witnessed the prophecy come to pass and taking place today.
Just as our school grades all have different levels of learning, so do our churches.
They are still of the same body.
Kinder garden is the foundation of learning.
The basics of Faith is the foundation we build our faith and grow in our gift of The Holy Spirit.

I would think that everyone would think that their religion is true otherwise they wouldn't follow it. At least I hope people wouldn't follow a religion they feel is false. Personally I think all the paths lead to the same place, it is just the scenery along the way that differs.
Blessed Be )O(

all religions point to you doing something, where as one faith, has Jesus doing it all for you, all you have to do is accept.
do all roads lead to your house..all faiths do not lead to heaven
the enemy is trying every concievable way to lie to man, add a little this, and that
know the enemy..and know that Greater is HE that is in you, than he that rules the world.
Since Jesus, only said, He was the way, truth and life, why go else where...and He proved it..no other god has materialized, nor resurrected.
Merry Christmas

God sent his only son to be crucified for the sins of the world.
All who trust in him for their soul salvation.Will have a home in Heaven. This is all that really matters. Religions are of man.The important thing is that the Blood of Christ has been applied.

Religion is man made dogma for control. My spiritual path is that of YHWH for that is who woke me and was the name given to me when I asked... " who is this? what is your name? ". I had never seen the name prior to that.
You won't find truth in a building full of men. You only find truth between you and the Creator.

Religion is not Truth. Religion is a pointer, pointing towards the Truth. Theory of water (H2O) is not water, thus can not quench your thirst.

Yes, it is. I read the Bible and saw that only Jehowah's Witnesses tell about truth!
