SO confused about religion? help.?

Question

Okay so I have a question.
I am a Catholic, and in the Christian religion we believe
that Jesus Christ is the messiah. However, I also know that
Judaism teaches that Jesus was only a prophet, and that the messiah has not yet come.

I know that Hinduism doesn't even recognize
Jesus at all, and neither does Islam.

So what I'm asking is, how can we all be right?
If Judaism were correct, that would mean Christianity is incorrect. And if Christianity were correct, that would mean Judaism is incorrect. I just can't bring myself to think that other religions are "wrong". I have just been taught that they are different. But ONE OF US has to be wrong! We cannot all be factually correct!

How can we explain this?

Answer 1

Hello, Allisonnn:

You are reacting normally when you say your are confused, because so much paganism was baptized into the early church, and that confuses things when you read the Bible.

Let me explain more, but please understand that Satan is a real adversary. He knew the Jews were God's chosen people and that the Messiah would come through them. So Satan originated many false religions--you know this part, Israel fell to these deceptions, and the commission to evangelize the world was given to the Gentiles.

Although the Jews killed their Savior, we Gentiles have made a bigger mess of things, to the point that many people don't believe in God. I fell into that group until I decided I'd do what the Bible says: "Study to show yourself approved..."

I don't allow preachers to teach me traditions of the church, and am reading my eleventh different translation of the Bible. Yes, we have changed what God wants us to believe, but the truth is so simple. If you read the Bible code, the only part of the Bible closed until the end-of-the-days, it will explain: www.abiblecode.com

Concerning Islam, well, you must understand that Gentiles killed an estimated 50,000,000 people in the name of God, and Islam was raised to inflict punishment. This was well know during the Reformation, that Islam was described in Bible prophecy. See: "The Rise, Decline, and Death of Islam as Described in the Bible" at www.revelado.org/islam.htm.

And please, by all means, continue your search, because when God gives you the simple truths, "It will set you free."

Shalom, peace in Jesus, Ben Yeshua

Answer 2

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam believe that there is only one God. Jews and Muslims greatly stress the oneness and unity of God. The affirmation of the oneness of God by Christians is sometimes misunderstood, because Christians believe that the one God is triune (the Holy Trinity). However, this is not a denial of monotheism but an affirmation of the complexity of the Divine Being.
The three religions believe that human beings are the highest creatures here on earth. We are the children of Abraham.
The three Abrahamic religions believe that God and human beings can and should communicate with each other. By revelation God communicates to people, among which the most important are revelation through prophets. These revelations are recorded in the Holy Scriptures of each religion. While the Holy Scriptures of the three religions are not the very same, nevertheless the younger two religions acknowledge God's truth as found in the previous religions, and encourage respect to the Holy Books. While each of the three religions does not merely focus on one set of writings, the key Scripture of Judaism is the Torah, the key Scripture of Christianity is the Bible, which consists of the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible) and the New Testament, and the key Scripture of Islam is the Qur'an.
The difference among these three religions:

Perhaps two factors can explain the hostility that has often characterized the relationships among these religions. First all three have been proselytizing religions--although Judaism abandoned this practice early in the Christian era-- and their very closeness has made them bitterly competitive. Each has had some feeling that it has come the closest to the essential truths of God and the world, and that the others have somehow failed to recognize this. Both Christianity and Islam, for example, accuse Judaism of stubbornly refusing to accept later revelations that modify and update its original truths. Both Judaism and Islam accuse Christianity of a kind of idolatry in claiming that God begat a son who as actually a form of God and who walked the earth in human form. Both Judaism and Christianity argue that God did not give a special, final revelation to Muhammad.(pbuh)

As regard to hindu scriptures, Mohammed may peace be upon him is mentioned in their books too.

Hindu scriptures are divided into three basic categories: Vedas, Upanishads and Puranas. There are differences about the age of those scriptures; some people believe that they go back almost 4,000 years.
Prophet Muhammad Mentioned in the Upanishad

Some Hindu scholars consider the Upanishads scripture to be superior to the Vedas, because they impart divine knowledge and teach how the human soul can get nearer to its Maker and Master.


The Muslim testimony of faith is mentioned in the Upanishads.
The most important prophecy in it is the one that mentions the coming of Prophet Muhammad by name, and the Muslim testimony of faith — there is no God but Allah — is repeated more than once in it.

Prophet Muhammad Mentioned in the Vedas

The third basic category of Hindu scriptures is called the Veda. In the Atharva Veda, it is mentioned that the praiseworthy among people shall be praised; it is known that the name Muhammad in Arabic actually means "the praiseworthy."

It also states that the promised prophet will be a camel rider, which is interesting because Indian prophets were forbidden to ride camels. Prophet Jesus, according to the New Testament, rode on an *** but not on a camel, but it is well known that Prophet Muhammad rode a camel.

The seventh mantra also speaks about someone who is going to be a guide to all people, and Prophet Muhammad always emphasized that he was not sent to a particular people, like Israelites alone or Arabs alone, but to the whole world.

The sixth mantra speaks about some of the brave people who vanquished without a battle and that the number of their opponents was 10,000, which could be a reference to the battle of the allies or the trench that took place during Prophet Muhammad's time. The number of the people who put a siege around Madinah were indeed 10,000, and they were vanquished without a battle because God sent a hurricane that finally, after a long siege, forced them to leave.

In the Rig Veda, it speaks about a person who is described as truthful and trustworthy, powerful and generous who will be famous with 10,000. All these are the characteristics of Prophet Muhammad, and the number 10,000 could be a possible reference to the number of the Companions of Prophet Muhammad who entered Makkah victoriously.

Answer 3

You have a little mistake!

How can we all be right! This is the mistake!

Is only one thruth! Only one! And this is that Jesus Christ is Son of The God and is Messia.

The Judaism is correct until Christ. The actual judaism is completly different from the originar one. Remember that they have NO PRIEST! Because they have no tempe. And they change the Bible! Originary is Septuaginta, which is the truth Bible. And protestants did the mistake that take the Bible from the Judaism because they didn`t know greek letters and language!

Be carefull. Our world is fully of liers christs. It is only one Christ. The Cristmas was few days ago. This time doesn`t mean only meal, presents, drink and friends. This time mean that GOD, take body for us. To show us a way to have a good life!

Kyrie eleison!

Answer 4

What?

Well in my family I have an uncle who every thinks is a great guy. Some people at his job may think that he is a nice guy, but not the cat's meow. A few people down the block may not even know who the heck he is. They may just think of him as a typical man.

So if you are so concerned about what others think of him, then you are missing the whole point. It is what you think of him and what the messages in his teachings have done for you. You don't make or break friendships because of the perceptions of others, do you?

Answer 5

Another option (not to confuse you more) is that all views could be wrong.

Just use your head and trust your own common sense. Read what the "opposing view" has to say about god. If god is true and real, he could stand an honest examination.

If I were you I would research "god". Check out some ancient religions that existed for thousands of years (just like Christianity!) Ancient Egyptians had a god (Horus) who rose from the dead, just like Christ. Once you start seeing how all these different faiths have so much in common, it really changes your point-of-view. I would also, strongly recommend a book called "Demon Haunted World" by Carl Sagan. It's not difficult to read - consists of short essays and really brings a realistic approach to "how do we know what truth is."

Answer 6

These religions all agree that we should treat other people well and be concerned about the needs of the poor. I wouldn't worry too much about whether other religions' beliefs are "right or wrong." I think if you study world religions you will find similar themes in their beliefs and rituals. I would mention that Islam recognizes Jesus as a prophet.

Answer 7

Easy.

They are ALL wrong and made up.

And no, I am not being smug. You sound young, and this is hard to understand - but ALL religions are just made up.

There might be a god, but really ask yourself: do you think god kills children? Do you think god needs to be worshiped and obeyed like a silly dictator, in order to be happy? Do you think god needs sacrifices to be happy? Do you think he had to send his "son" to die for our sins - when he could just do whatever he wanted to for any/all of us at any time, for any reason.

It's all quite silly really and does not pass the common sense test.

If there is a god (and perhaps there is), he is not the trivial, jealous, narrow minded, bigot portrayed in any of the holy books. He/she is much more grand than the silly grumpy old man in the clouds that is written about the bible.

If you are honest, fair to your fellow man, live a good life, and always seeking knowledge, then whatever god this is (or isn't) would be proud to have you as a friend.

Answer 8

Jesus is a prophet ans the messiah he will come back to earth and kill the anti Christ go to salafipubliction.com it explains it all

Answer 9

NO ONE IS FACTUALLY CORRECT! Remember this: ALL religions are merely one group of people's take on the word of God. They ALL interpret parts of God's word differently. NONE of them are the absolute definitive source of God's word. Kind of like how we perceive color...One may say that coal is black. Another may say that coal is gray. While yet another may say that neither is correct and that the coal only appears to be a certain color because of the spectrum of light that is reflected from it. THEREFORE...NO ONE is 100% right on the interpretation of the word of God. It's all in the perception of the beholder.

Answer 10

Jesus is OUR Messiah.
The Messiah the Jews are looking for has not yet come.
This is not contradictory; the Jews who follow their religion do not need Jesus, He did not come for them He said so Himself.

Hinduism sees Jesus as a teacher.
Islam recognizes Jesus as a prophet, but not the Son of God.

Judaism is correct for the Jews; Christianity is correct for the lost; Islam is correct for the Muslim.

The goal, the ultimate undertaking of faith is to reach God. If you are walking with God, you are doing fine. If you are not, then no religion will help you; tis you who must seek Him.
