The Bible says that it is inspired of God:



"All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness." (2 Tim. 3:16)



The Bible also says that there is “one Lord, ONE FAITH, one baptism.” (Ephesians 4:4, 5)



Therefore, one needs to look for the one religion ("one faith") that follows the Bible the closest.



The Scriptures constantly refer to the body of true Christian teachings as "the truth," and Christianity is spoken of as "the way of the truth." (1 Tim. 3:15; 2 John 1; 2 Pet. 2:2)



There is one religion today that base all of their beliefs, their standards for conduct, and organizational procedures on the Bible. Their faith in the Bible itself as God's Word gives them the conviction that what they have is indeed the truth.

To be honest, the only religion that is true is the one that uses the bible as its total authority and that means preparing to be different from other mainstream christians, who are in fact, not proving themselves to be 100% with God.



This religion will show that they are not the most popular one around or to be more accurate are popularly ridiculed.



Comparing this religion to what Jesus taught, you will not help but see a parallel between them.



They do not go to war or have anything to do with politics.



The media VERY rarely mentions them.



They should have filtered out a long time ago, but amazingly they are getting stronger and stronger.



You find that faith, and you have the real one.



I can help if you go into my profile because I belong to that religion.

Religions are all mad made. Got it? They are all made up. None is any more real than any other. Just give up the whole thing and live your life to the fullest. Oh and yes you will die and no one knows what happens beyond death. No one. No one ever has and no one likely ever will. Most likely nothing happens. Existence ends. Ya, I know that sucks but a lot of things suck. Contemplating ones own mortality is the price we humans pay for being so smart. Dogs and cats and chickens and cows don't worry about dying...hence they don't have religions.

all religions have it wrong, since there is no God to begin with. God doesn't answer you because he is not there, he does not exist.



look at all the religions thought history, ask yourself why you do not believe in those, then you will realize the same reasons can be applied to your religion.



time to move on and grow up. you were indoctrinated at a young age, you were NOT born a christian it was taught to you.

There is a rabbit that lives at the north pole. When children loose a tooth, He slides down the chimney and leaves chocolate nickels under their pillows.

Worship Him and you can't go wrong. All the rest are impostors, except, to some extent, for Science.

None of them. Even if one is real, the odds of guessing right are slim enough to make the whole idea pointless. And with all the extra stuff a person is expected to believe, religion isn't all that attractive to begin with.



For me, natural explanations give good answers for what we see, and what we might expect to see in the future.



Einstein made more accurate predictions, more fulfilled prophecy, than the entire old testament.

does it matter? If Christianity's true, you're going to hell for doubting the reality of the bible. If any other religion is real, then you're doomed for going to church and worshiping the Christian god. To me, none of the religions are real.

Well, all of them are real actually.

Real: occurring or existing in actuality



They exist and thus they are real.



However, being that all religion, theistic or not, is a set of beliefs no one is the "true" one. Beliefs do not apply to everyone and can't be proven correct or not. It's a point of view.

the religion that teaches salvation in jesus alone can be followed

All religions are real. After all, they DO exist.



The real question is, are any of them true?



Personally, I believe they all have some truth.

Read the bible, go to church, etc. It sounds like your losing some of your faith.

In my opinion, none hold absolute claims to the truth.

But you should find out for yourself..

MOST religions claim that what they say comes from God. Therefore, we do well to heed the words of Jesus’ apostle John, who wrote: “Beloved ones, do not believe every inspired expression, but test the inspired expressions to see whether they originate with God, because many false prophets have gone forth into the world.” (1 John 4:1)

Everything that comes from God reflects his personality, especially his predominant quality, love. For example, our sense of smell, which enables us to delight in the aroma of herbs, flowers, or freshly baked bread, is an expression of God’s love. Our ability to see a sunset, a butterfly, or the smile of a young child reflects God’s love for us. The same is true of our ability to hear beautiful music, the sound of a bird, or the voice of a loved one. Even our human nature, imperfect as it is, reflects God’s love. That is why we often experience the truth of Jesus’ words: “There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving.” (Acts 20:35) We enjoy expressing love because we are made “in God’s image.” (Genesis 1:27) Although Jehovah has many other qualities, love is the most outstanding aspect of his personality.

Writings that come from God should reflect his love. The world’s religions have many ancient writings.

The truth is, most ancient religious texts explain little about how God loves us or how we can love God. Thus, millions of people receive no answer when they ask, “Why do we see evidence of God’s love in creation while suffering and evil continue?” The Bible, on the other hand, is the only ancient religious writing that fully explains God’s love. It also teaches us how to practice love.



God’s Word, the Bible, reveals Jehovah as “the God of love.” (2 Corinthians 13:11) The Bible describes how love moved Jehovah to give to the first humans life free of sickness and death. But rebellion against God’s authority introduced suffering to mankind. (Deuteronomy 32:4, 5; Romans 5:12) Jehovah acted to restore what was lost. God’s Word says: “God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) The Holy Scriptures illuminate God’s love still further when they describe how God has provided a perfect government in the hands of Jesus to restore peace to obedient mankind.—Daniel 7:13, 14; 2 Peter 3:13.

The Bible sums up man’s obligation in these words: “‘You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment. The second, like it, is this, ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments the whole Law hangs.” (Matthew 22:37-40) The Bible claims to be inspired of God. Since it clearly does reflect his personality, we can be sure that it comes from “the God of love.”—2 Timothy 3:16.

By applying this one standard, we can identify which ancient writings are truly from God. Love also identifies true worshippers, for they imitate God in showing love.



Those who truly love God stand out, particularly now that we live in what the Bible calls “the last days.” Increasingly, people are “lovers of themselves, lovers of money, . . . lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God.”—2 Timothy 3:1-4.

The Bible says: “This is what the love of God means, that we observe his commandments.” (1 John 5:3) Love for God moves people to respect the Bible’s moral standards. For instance, God’s Word has laws on sex and marriage. Sexual relations are permitted only within marriage, and marriage is to be permanent. (Matthew 19:9; Hebrews 13:4)



In addition to their love for God, true Christians are easily identified by the way they show love for their neighbors. Their most important work is speaking to others about mankind’s only hope, the Kingdom of God. (Matthew 24:14) Nothing can bring more lasting benefits to their neighbors than to help them gain knowledge of God. (John 17:3) True Christians also show their love in other ways. They extend practical help to those who are suffering.



Besides loving God and neighbor, true Christians love one another. Jesus said: “I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.”—John 13:34, 35.



Love is a distinguishing feature of true worship. Jesus likened finding true worship to finding the right road and choosing to walk on it. It is the only road that leads to everlasting life. Jesus said: “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.” (Matthew 7:13, 14) Only one body of true Christians walks unitedly with God on the road of true worship. If you find that road and ch
