Which side does god choose?

Question

Anglican
Catholic
Baptist
Presbyterian
Methodist
Lutheran
Or other denomination

So who is right?

Matthew 7:13-14
. . .Go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it; whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it.

I'm Catholic. God doesn't choose sides. God loves anyone who loves Him. You don't have to be a certain religion.

That is not what Jesus says. Narrow is the gate. Only a few finding it.

All these interpret the Bible one way or another but there is only one truth.
A truth cannot be divided.

Answer 1

God has chosen everyone. Scripture tells us that Jesus "died for all".

However much of the world chooses to deny the Lord.

Martin Luther described it this way in his Small Catechism (I believe the Roman Catholic teaching is similar):

There are two Churches, one visible, one invisible. The visible Church is the one we see (buildings, denominations, clergy, works etc). It consists of all who call themselves Christian, both believers and non believers.

The Invisible Church is made up of believers, and only believers, both living and dead (the communion of Saints), regardless of denomination [the Holy catholic (universal) Church], who follow the teachings of Christ and the Apostles found in the New Testament (Apostolic Church). This Church will be added to by those who will come to faith both living, and yet to be born.

God bless you this day as we remember the Incarnation of our Lord, and look to his second coming!

Your friend in Christ,

Mark

Answer 2

God doesn't have a relationship with institutions, but with individuals whether they be Anglican, Catholic Baptist Presbyterian Methodist Lutheran Or other denomination.
Anyone who loves Jesus and walks in his way, is right. Anyone who doesn't is wrong. Regardless of denomination.

Answer 3

Everyone has some truth to it, and GOD loves everyone, although the path is not as narrow as you believe. God does have a big heart.

Answer 4

D. He chooses His own Blood washed out of any and all churches who call on the Name of Jesus! Only man is hindered by walls and buildings. God looks at hearts!!!

Answer 5

God is neither catholic nor baptist, republican nor democrat. He is sovereign. No one religion can in itself capture God's favor. God had a chosen people, the Jews, but a great number of their hearts were not right. He came to us as Jesus Christ for both Jews and gentiles (everyone else). He cares about the heart of the man, not his religion. Jeremiah 17:9 says
9"The heart is more deceitful than all else
And is desperately sick;
Who can understand it?
10"I, the LORD, search the heart,
I test the mind,
Even to give to each man according to his ways,
According to the results of his deeds."

Matthew 7:21 says:
"21"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.

22"Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?'

23"And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS" (NASB)

I personally go to a Baptist church. My guess would be that there are just as many people living ungodly lives in my church as in the next Methodist or Lutheran church. God wants your heart not lip service in whichever church you go. Go to the Bible preaching church that you feel most at home in; I'm sure you will find God's favor there. And by the way, no, I'm not a preacher.

Answer 6

I'm Catholic. God doesn't choose sides. God loves anyone who loves Him. You don't have to be a certain religion.

Answer 7

you could ask any one from either or those religions this question and the same answer will be there religion is right. god chooses them; to me none of them are right you can only believe what you want to believe do some research in to your spiritual self. actually study stuff before you could make an accurate judgment on things. best of luck to you and your inner self.

Answer 8

There is only one truth. Christ was crucified for the sins of man so that they may be called sons of God. Anyone who accepts Christ as Lord and Savior is saved. That is all that is needed, all the other divisions are about extraneous things.

Answer 9

God do choose side, it is muslims.At the world, God loves everybody, but in the afterlife, god choose muslims.

Answer 10

God chooses those who hold him true in their hearts. People choose to divide and separate, not God.
