Good question! It was just as good now as it was 2500 years ago. Puzzled? Let me tell you this that slightly more than 2500 years ago, there was a group of people from Kalamas, a distant township in India from where the Buddha was in pain and resting and literally waiting for his (own) passing. When these people arrived after days of walking to seek an audience with the Buddha, they were stopped by the Buddha's personal assistant, Venerable Ananda who wanted the Buddha to rest. However, upon hearing the commotion, the Buddha asked what caused the argument, and after knowing the reason, asked Ananda to allow the people from Kalamas to enter. Upon seeing the Buddha reclining between the two sal trees, they then realized that the Buddha who was than an old man of 70 was dying. Yet, the Buddha asked what was that they wanted to know. The people then asked him that since there were so many religions, each professing to be true and correct, how then could one discern which religion to be the correct one. That was the question that you now asked. The Buddha's reply did not preach that his teaching was the truth or the correct one, instead, he laid down the conditions of what a correct and truthful religion should be. His discourse was later known as The Kalamas Sutta and it contained a comprehensive jolting answer. You may find this sutta in the internet.

What ll u do once u find a correct religion???



Anyway

There are two possibilities

1 there is one correct religion and one true God

And the rest of religions are from evil.

2 there is no correct religion and all true Gods and one evil.

I m not in a position to choose an option because the answer is in between....



I don't agree with first option because all religion gives importance to truth... Why would both God and evil propagate truth...



I don't agree with second option because there can't b many gods



So the religion in which u were born may not b correct but must b appropriate for u to lead a truthful and good life.

If u feel that Ur religion does not propagate truth... U have to find one...

There is no correct religion. They are all just social constructs. You should choose a religion that fits you and gives you a benefit. If you think that religion is funny and that it doesn't give you anything good, you are better off without religion. Note that not having a religion does not mean you don't believe in god. You can believe in god without religion.



However, if you are really seeking for a religion, I suggest trying them all. People will tell you that their religion is correct, but they are only telling that to you because that is what worked for them.

Try a religion and learn about the practices. Quit if you can't stand it, then move to another. You will never know until you try, right? You can even make your own religion.

As I start my answer, there are 175 answers. Nobody can luv without religion because it is a function if living, doing. You have a free will, so you generally choose what you want to do, you do what you want. Religion is doing what you believe in. That's why there were 175 answered, but no best answer. When you impose the condition of correct religion, then it can only be one, because mankind must live in accord with what many call Natural Law, but which is really the laws inherent with the creation, and hence, with the Creator. The Creator did not leave us without a guide. For those who truly wish to understand how to tell which is correct, serious investigation is required, and if such a one is thorough and honest with himself, he will find the Bible is the Word of God, and that as a group, which is necessary part of the correct religion, then he will say the Jehovahs Witnesses practice the Bible the best humanly possible, even MORE than humanly possible

The only religion that is correct is the one that makes you as a person content with your own being. This can mean any religion or none at all. All these people will tell you that theres is the only true one, then why is theres so many? And as for "biblical prophecy", if you say something will happen one day eventually that something will happen. Everyone's been predicting the end of the world since man could comprehend. Eventually they'll be right. People have changed religion to suit their own needs and societal values since we could understand divinity, and they obtain followers that their dogma makes sense to. That is how religion grows. The ancient jews had many gods, but fear of one all knowing one who didn't like other gods forced them to evolve their beliefs into beliefs that are still evolving to this day. Like someone else said it's a societal construct.

Jesus said: " your word is truth" (John 17:17) So first and foremost; the true faith will be teaching the truth according to the bible. If you religion is teaching things that are not true; then you have not found the true religion yet. This is not a reflection on you as a person; provided that when you find the truth, you go ahead and accept it. Thus, the true God, Jehovah is urging sheep-like ones to come out of false religion. (Revelation 18:4)

There are four teachings that all but one religion teaches and believes, even though the bible does not support them. These teaching are: Jesus is God / The soul is Immortal / All true Christians go to Heaven / Hell is a place of torment. The only religion that does not teach any of these 4 teachings; are Jehovah's Witnesses! Why? Because all 4 of these teachings are false. Thus the Lord Jehovah has said: "you are my witnesses". (Isaiah 43:10,12)

CONSIDER: (Jesus is God - John 1:18 - John 14:28) (Immortal Soul - Ezekiel 18:4 - Ecclesiastes 9:5,10) (Hell is a place of torment - Romans 6:7,23 Jesus went to hell when he died. Jesus was without sin -Acts 2:31) ( All true Christians go to Heaven - Psalms 37:29 - Ecclesiastes 1:4 Only a set number have been chosen to reign in Heaven with Jesus Christ. Jesus identified them as a small group - Luke 12:32 - Revelations 14:3,4 The chosen ones who go to Heaven are going for a reason Revelations 20:4-6)

Therefore; anyone who wants the truth; now you have it!

Both the Jewish and Christian religion are acceptable. Especially those Jews who follow Jesus Christ or Messianic Jews. However their practice of the Christian faith has always been to follow the Mosaic law where as the gentile Christians are not bound by such. This is true even to this day. And this is where most Christians are confused today to think God has left the Jews. But he never has. The history of this is all recorded in Luke's second book, Acts. The first one he wrote was the gospel of Luke.



We know this religion is true since it has recorded history from the creation of the universe, to the creation of earth and man in it. And God's dealings with man from Adam and Eve to Jesus Christ to the Lord's apostles including the apostle Paul. The gospel of Jesus Christ has been preached to all the world and still reaching the unreached.



History proves it correct; archaeological evidence proves it correct; the lives of Christians everywhere living daily for Jesus Christ proves it today. Fulfilled Bible prophecy over the years has been 100% accurate. And there are still more that be fulfilled because it is God's word and not man's word as many scoffers would want us to believe.

Let's help you choose

I left of spiritual and polytheist religions because its basically worshipping your own creation. There Is one God and if there were many, this world would not be because each God/ess would want it.



Christianity - a religion that states Jesus is a god, man, son and teacher at the same time. Some worship Jesus even tho Jesus said worship your Lord. I thought Mary was Virgin but married Joseph. Wow. Logic.



Judaism - A religion that believes they are the people of G-d. God's people. Really? If you convert you won't be treated the same. Plus it rejects Jesus as the Messiah.



Islam - Total Submission. One God who is able to do all things. No sons or parents. Merciful. Peace. Sees Jesus as a Messiah and a messenger. Abraham, Noah, Moses and Muhammad PBUThem all were prophets.

The Quran is 100% accurate.



Its your choice. This is only my opinion. I repeat THIS IS ONLY MY OPINION!

All gods were invented by people. Gods don't actually exist. All religions are false. If you are looking for a life stance to follow, try secular humanism.

I have been a humanistic atheist since I was 22, so for more than 30 years. I'm happier this way than with religion. When something goes wrong in my life ( as things do) I know it's not a punishment or a test from god. I know it's chance processes or nature/science.

I don't want to say which religion is the correct one but I like to recommend Hindu religion to gain better spiritual knowledge. You need not join this religion and that is not necessary too but you must read all Hindu legends. The following matter is not entirely Hindu stuff but to understand clearly you may need the knowledge of Hindu legends.



God never bothers who believe Him. God cannot watch each and every human being at the same time. That's why He had created the spirits to watch, guide and determine the destiny of the human beings from their daily activities, talks and thoughts too. Your past determines your present and your present determines your future. God has given freewill to all creatures including human beings. According to this, all human beings have all right to live a life as they wish. But if it happens to be bad and hurts someone, they have to face the consequences. These consequences are created by spirits. It's a natural system. After death no one lives in any form. Heaven and hell are only for spirits. Spirits are separate elements. A human being is not a single spirit. A human being during his/her life time is living with many spirits which have joined one by one since birth. They are knowledge, skills, feelings, emotions, interests and everything. Even thoughts are not your own. When you want to take a decision on a subject, one after another the spirits think and you just listen, choose or reject the ideas which they transmit to your mind through your brain in the form of thoughts. A human being is just a robot made of flesh, bones, tissues etc., and a toy of the spirits for their games.

Jehovah's Witnesses. They are the only religion deeply involved in study of the Bible and applying its message - though not always popular. They are the only ones being obedient to Jesus command to "preach the good news of the Kingdom in all the earth." They do this in over 130 lands in over a thousand different languages. While they are loving, peacable people with a positive message, they are often ridiculed and lied about. Very much the same as the first century Christians. They heave a deep respect for God's word as Jesus did. They know, use and teach others the importance of God's name. jw.org

Trick question. There is no correct religion. Ideally people want to have a personal relationship with Jesus and walk in His way and follow His words of truth and light. Anyone who says they don't wish to be loved is either a liar or insane. Jesus is the obvious savior of the world because without all men following this walk in love and forgiveness, the world will be a non-stop blood bath. Sort of like now, only much worse if there were not the Christians holding it together. Hopefully no one will ever get to find this out for themselves.

None is correct judging by scientific evidence and the gods of christianity and islam are more concerned with what human's do in their daily life and not behaving like someone who is responsible for all of creation.



Even if there was a deity, it would be impossible to know what one exisited, many people are christian or muslim because that's the religion they've been brought up with and feel the most comfortable with, it pisses me off when I hear christians/muslims ridicule other faiths for being "false" and "nonsense" when their faith is just as bloody absurd. christians are particularly good at this.

Definition of religion is "philosophy in practice". I honestly believe that any religion forbids its followers to read or learn what is stated in the scriptures of other religions group/s must be discarded. What I believe is that GOD means the ultimate TRUTH and God has no physical or any kind of body, form, quality etc. and God is in fact beyond the perception of human mind. This is so because our mind is nothing but memories of our own past experiences which are in fact dead past having no present relevance. All true religious instructions are for getting us out of the bondage of our own mind (mental attachments). Now I leave the choice to u to decide the correct one.

You be the master of your own mind so that you can master the whole world! Also note that ONLY A HUMAN birth provides the chance to become a really perfect and 100% ever happy one. You cannot therefor afford to waste time in this life by running after insignificant false joys of this ever changing worldly affairs.

I have seen so many extremely godly people who were Christians and Jews so, I believe, both Christianity and Judaism are both legitimate religions. They also teach peace and love the only religions I have ever regarded as completely illegitimate are Atheism, which is the belief that there is no God, and Islam, worship of Mohammad and Allah. Agnosticism at least acknowledges that there might be a God. I regard Islam as Illegitimate because Islam means submission. God has no use for submission, he wants people to be free and to love him. I also dislike Islam because I believe that if everyone acted like Jesus, the world would be a better place. If everyone acted like Mohammad, bodies would line the streets.
2015-06-23 12:41:59 UTC
There is no one correct religion. Different religions are suited to different people. That's the only reason why there are so many. If there was one correct religion that worked for everyone, wouldn't everyone be practicing it?

Nobody knows which one is the right one. They're most likely all man made. But this is why so many people are atheists, because there are hundreds of religions out there, which means there's a 1/100 (or even 1/1000) chance that your religion is legitimate.

All religions are correct. Interpretation varies from person to person because of which difference of opinion arises. On several occasions, I have seen people following same religion fight because of ego or superiority complex. What do you say about this peculiar situation. It is a different matter if we have difference of opinion among other religions. If we divide anything, it creates problems. We should try to unite all moral forces.

Jew comes from Judaism which is Judah (Jacobs 4th son & abraham's great grandson). This comes from a tribe and Abraham, Isaac, Jacob/Israel or ismael call themselves Jews or Jewish religion.



Christianity comes from Greek word Christ meaning messiah. In Greek Jesus was Christ but in his Palestinian Aramaic language didn't call himself a christian. Nor did his disciples.



Errors: judisam is too tribalism and lost attachment to faith since temple was gone and Torah had be rewritten twice after being lost. Then came Talmud written rabbis in Babylon causing massive rethinking reinterpretation of this tribes religion. If u study the Talmud you'd see how extreme it has become!



Christianity is too focused on increasing its folk numbers and frequently adopting aspects any religion/cultures/festivals to increase its folk members!!!! It's come to the point the message of Jesus so badly contaminated that it's no longer the original message.

Islam.



Because it is the only religion that provides evidences' of scientific nature to 'substantiate' for its claim of truth and dare challenge its adversaries to try 'disprove' it if they can, a challenge that no one was able to meet till now while with absolute certainty saying, none can ever disprove it.



http://www.quranmiracles.com/



It is interesting also to note that it is the only religion that makes it an article of faith to believe in Jesus Christ, his immaculate conception, virgin birth, including all his miracles like raising the dead, curing the lepers and the born blind and his second coming, while rejecting 'Trinity' which obviously is 'non sense' that resulted in people becoming 'atheists' and 'agnostics'.



I mean if its not real why should it promote Jesus rather than prophet Muhammad (pbut) himself? The Quran talks about Moses and Jesus more times as compared to prophet Muhammad (pbut).



No wonder a lot of Christians are converting to Islam after realizing that it is the 'Ultimate Truth'::

None. All religious people think that they're right based on the stories which they were told as bedtime stories and the beliefs which were forced upon them as children. Evolution is the only thing which has solid evidence and has proven to be right about many things. Evolution isn't a religion but if you want to know what's right then evolution is your answer.

There is and can be only one God, and he started one religion. So logically there can only be one correct religion and that one teaches about how to live, and what God is like. God is his love and his sacrifice for all of us. Unfortunately there is a devil who works in the opposite direction and teaches hate and domination. So the correct religion is the one that teaches what God said, and doesn't try to say, "He didn't mean that".

WOW 2Followhim - you got a lot of answers People can be "religious" without knowing who Jesus really is. The Bible says: James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.



Jesus is not a denomination - When we repent and ask God to forgive us we are Born Again. Being a doer of the Word and not a hearer only - obeying God's word as best we can - doing what "He" says - we are Christ's representatives and we are known as Christians.



A True Christian believes God is the Father - Jesus is the Son of God (not the Father) - The Holy Ghost is God's Spirit. A Christian prays to God in Jesus Name.... Amen

Religion is a tool for exploring spirituality, the discovery of our true nature. The choice is a subjective and personal one and can develop as our awareness develops.

Does there need to be only one? Many religions have unique aspects that are helpful in exploring our spirituality. We don't need to follow a particular religion to take advantage of it's helpfullness in discovering what it is we are.

That depends ENTIRELY on you - your spiritual needs, desires, expectations, views, perceptions, upbringing, knowledge and so forth. When you find one that FITS all those things for you personally - then that's the TRUTH for you. NO one else can tell you where that truth is - that is personal between you & the Lord and when the spirit directs & testifies to you and you alone. Look at ALL the religions in the world - you think everyone doesn't believe THEY have the truth? They have their own form of the TRUTH.

I don't think anyone should name any religion as the correct or incorrect one. specifications of a religion makes clear which one is a better religion. The one that respects humanity, stands for humanity, fulfills needs of humanity and the one which is for humanity. no one can call a religion correct or incorrect. only a better religion has some signs and characteristics. that's it.
2015-06-22 12:33:24 UTC

There are many religions out there. I don't think any of them are wrong, but I do think they all are miss lead. So many people have been taught that there is only one way to be completely devoted to the good side. Most MAN MADE RELIGIONS were and are created from other religions. I spent 15 years learning and researching different religions, trying to figure out why so many people rely on books to tell them what they should believe. The hidden things I found out was--truth be told, EXACTLY what I thought it would be. Devotion and Faith to ones higher power should not be if it is only there because a book or a group of people tell you it should be. If most just follow their hearts they will be led in the right direction for them. If people do their research, they will find a whole new way of looking at religion. Follow your heart and chooses what is best for you. It is not the religion you chose, it is the way you chose to live your life. You can believe in a higher power (GOD or whom ever) without claiming a particular religion. You can be good without having a book to tell you that is what you have to do. Just because people say that things are to be a certain way does not make it so.

There is no correct religion, they're all wrong. If God really existed, and cared in the least whether we believed in Him/Her/It, there would be no doubt. And there would be only one religion. We might choose not to follow Him/Her/It, but at least we'd know He/She/It was there.

Islam. It is the only religion in which it's revelation has not been corrupted in any way. It remains in its pure form exactly as it was when first revealed. It remains in the original language and not one letter has been changed. Hence why there are no different versions. The language it was revealed in is still a working current day language, accessible to anyone. It was written in the life time of the Prophet it was given too, not 100 years later. It contains not one grammatical error, nor one contradiction, and it is full of miracles to prove that it is from our Creator not a man. Miracles that you can witness for yourself, that you cannot deny - that answers your second question. Please read the Quran for yourself. Research Islam along with other religions. I assure you you will find Islam to be the truth. See also:

If you want to be a friend of God, you must practice the religion that God approves. Jesus said that “the true worshipers” would worship God in harmony with “truth.” (John 4:23, 24) There is only one correct way to worship God. (Ephesians 4:4-6) True religion leads to everlasting life, and false religion leads to destruction.—Matthew 7:13, 14.

You can recognize true religion by watching the people who practice it. Since Jehovah is good, those who are his true worshipers must be good people. Just as a good orange tree produces fine oranges, the true religion produces fine people.—Matthew 7:15-20.

The worship of the great old ones, the remaining followers being concealed beneath the Mariana Trench and other hidden places. The pain inflicted by the insane mindless gods will be so great that it is worth trying to worship them to decrease it for even an instant. The cold indifference of the universe and its mindless creators is all we have.

Keep looking sincerely enough and the correct religion will find YOU.

All religions say they’re right. My religion is right for me.

To you your way, to me mine.

If your choice gives you hope and faith to better yourself and try to be a better the world around you then you are on the right track

I converted to Islam a long time ago. I didn’t choose Islam, it chose me.

Not definite proof, but when atheist Howard Storm had his audience with Christ, he asked that same question. Jesus said, "there is no right religion, choose the one that brings you closest to God" I find that a very intelligent and reasonable response and I could hear my savior saying that. Religion is a doctrine, you only need to search for the truth. God will show you the truth if you seek. God bless to all who read.

There is not one religion that can claim correctness. Religion is man made. As for what you really mean, faith in God, faith in Christ, faith in what they did for us and the gift of the Holy Spirit is what is correct.

I believe in God the father, I believe in His Son Jesus Christ, I believe in the Holy Spirit. Then live a good and wonderful life.

The cavemen came before everyone else, so their religion is the correct one, but they're all dead and their religion was forgotten. It would not make any sense to say God came 100,000 years later and gives everyone salvation and forsake everyone before that. It's just nonsense.

I think that to fully understand which religion is the correct, you need to study many religions and make your own opinions to which one you should follow and best suits you. However I think that across many religions, they may share similar concepts and ideals

Dear Friend,



There is only One who died for your sins and the sins of all humanity and that is Jesus Christ. There is no GREATER "love"... than this.



God's desire is to commune/fellowship with His creation. But it is OUR sin that 'blocks' that covenant relationship with a Holy God. And it is only through Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit can anyone be 'reconciled/restored' back into a right relationship with Him. That dear friend, is Who sets Christianity apart from ALL OTHER religions. And that is...Jesus Christ!



A real personal, spiritual relationship with our Creator.... totally out weighs all other religions. Think about that.



Blessings,

True worshippers respect the Bible as God’s Word. They strive to live by its principles (Matthew 15:7-9)

Jesus’ true followers honor God’s name, Jehovah. Jesus honored God’s name by making it known. He helped people to know God and taught them to pray that God’s name be sanctified. (Matthew 6:9) Where you live, which religion makes God’s name known?—Read John 17:26; Romans 10:13, 14.

True Christians preach about God’s Kingdom. God sent Jesus to preach the good news of the Kingdom.

Jesus’ followers are no part of this wicked world. You can recognize them by the way they take no part in politics or social conflicts. (John 17:16; 18:36)

True Christians have outstanding love for one another. Although false religions have often strongly supported the wars of the nations, true worshippers refuse to do so. (Micah 4:1-3) Rather, true Christians unselfishly use their time and resources to help and encourage others.—Read John 13:34, 35; 1 John 4:20.

Religion deals with the 'afterlife'.

In order to reach this state, we have to achieve perfection, and exercise more love.

The only one that had walked that way had been Jesus of Nazarerth. Not only that but He had rose again after He died to prove to us that He was 'the way the truth..'

There is only ONE correct religion! It doesn t always use the same name on the building.... but what is inside is this... There is only One God, He created all that was, is or ever will be... He is eternal, He sent a part of Himself to exist in physical form, to be born, live (with all life s struggles and temptations), to teach then to be disowned to die a horrible death, that was intended to destroy all dignity and creully die, as the only perfect blood sacrifice to pay for YOUR (and my) sins long before we were even born. He died, was buried and defeated death, hell and the grave as He rose from his tomb, ascended to be with the Father (God), and sent the Comforter (the Holy Spirit) to be our comfort until Jesus (the son) returns to bring His faithful home...

They teach there is only ONE way, its by accepting Jesus as your lord and savior. That you believe He is the only way to make it to Heaven, not by works buy by His gift and His grace. If they teach anything else they are misleading you.

I dont care if the building say Baptist, Methodist, Assembly of God, Pentecostal... God did not establish religion, He did not ask for it, He ask for relationship with His children, so He sent His rules and His laws...so we could be more like HIm. So we would know how to spend eternity with Him.

In my view the only good religion is no religion. I don't understand how religions most notably christianity (in fact I don't particularly mind buddhists as they don't have a god, or sikhs coz they don't try and cause conflict), deny science, then when it is PROVEN, either deny it still or just add it to its beliefs.

Jesus said "I am, the way, the truth and the life and no-one can come to the Father but through me."

Ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins. What is sin? If you have broken the 10 commandments. Lied? had sex outside of marriage (adultery or fornication), lusted after another person, hated

someone in your heart, loved other things above

God. If you have committed one you are guilty and

need a saviour.. I am guilty! We are all guilty. So ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins, repent (or turn away from your sins) and ask Jesus into your heart as your Lord and Saviour. He will answer your prayer and if you serious, he will guide you to a true Bible believing Christian Church. Not a JW or 7th day adventist or morman Church but a Christian Church where they preach Christ crucified and risen from the dead.



in to your heart as Lord and Saviour

How about there is one god and in each religion he is known differently? In the end of the day, all religions teach you to love, to be honest, to be patient, good, helpful, generous, to repect your family, to not steal, to not lie. Why argue over that topic? Aren't we all the same? We're humans. We're not that intelligent yet to know how we came to this world.

The answer to that question is really one you have to find out for yourself. Read the Bible. put in the effort it takes to study and research it, with your objective being, not to just gain knowledge, but to learn who God really is. Study to get to know God and his qualities. Study to cultivate and develop a relationship with God. Pray to God for wisdom, understanding and his truth. Then look at religions, and look at them in line with what the Bible teaches. Are they following God's word? Are they following in Christ footsteps? Most people like to take shortcuts. But you learn so much more when you look into the details, and find the answer for yourself. It is so much more valuable. It could save your life. Hearsay have become the down fall of many. You will receive all sorts of answers on line, be wise and find the answer for yourself.

Biblical Christianity. Because no other god in all the world's pantheons have come into this world to become one of us, and died for our sins, to take the punishment for them upon their self, the way that Christ has. This is the true definition of Love -- selfless love. Isaiah 8:20, "To the law [Ten Commandments] and to the testimony [the Bible]: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." This is actually corroborated by Jesus and the apostles in Matthew 5:17,18 and Romans 3:31. Also, no other religious book in the world tells us of all the shortcomings, showing us the whole gammut, of it's human proponents the way the Bible does, showing itself to be true to life, not some made up myth. "Man shall not live [eternally] by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God [meaning the whole Bible]," Matthew 4:4. Micah 6:8, "He [God] hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?" James 1:27, "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world." I tell you this as a man that spent 14 years researching world religions and philosophies and ancient history in search of who was the true God and what was His Truth. And I have settled on the Seventh-day Adventist Christian church and their message. They hold to the original Protestant identification of the beast (Rome), the Whore of Babylon (the Roman Catholic Church) and the false prophet (fallen Protestantism). And very few others can Biblically and historically identify these entities. Also the Roman Catholic Church is the oldest organization on the planet, the riches would-be Christian church, and a religio-political entity, just as the Bible declares. They fit every Biblical criteria, including the time prophecies in Scripture. They have changed God's commandments and declared blasphemies (they claim that the pope is Jesus Christ on earth -- the Catholic National, July 1895) as Daniel 7:25 foretold. Also the Seventh-day Adventist church still keeps all ten of God's commandments, not just nine of them, as 95% of Protestant and Evangelical churches do (see 1 John 3:4 and James 2:10) -- they do not keep the Biblical Sabbath commandment. And there are many other reasons why I believe the Seventh-day Adventist message. The God of the Bible is not some arbitrary god with human shortcomings like most pagan gods are. The gods of most pagan religions are downright petty.

Please read and educate yourself. I would suggest you pray for guidance and wisdom , and pray for this often. Study scriptures. Read about religious histories. Read other books than the Bible.

which religion is the correct one , and how do you know ?

There is no "CORRECT" religion that is a question of individuals professing theirs is correct .

One chooses which religion provides for INDIVIDUALS agenda desires and needs

. so the religion one chooses reflects theirs views and they accept that doctrine .

the objection that many Atheist have , is many times for children religion is NOT a choice ,

then when they question something that is contrary to what they personally do not find reasonable . the organization of religion or parent deny them the ability to question.and to stop participating.

the term is indoctrination . then when they are older 18 say and they reject the religion the parents reject the child

, as if they are not individuals or have a right to a choice. the term is dictate

. Just because I accept this religion you must also "JUST because I say so " Its a control issue

. not seeing the child as a person but ownership .

The God concept utilizes the same mind set.

They present the God as the "Ultimate authority " and present the "Creation story " just as the parent does to the child . I gave birth to you I own you .

God created me he owns me . it set up the "OBLIGATION FACTOR" the child or follower is to spend their entire life pleasing the parent or god .

the god is a concept but is "PERSONIFIED" to have emotions , feelings . they will make claims of love , use emotional words . kind of like a child personifying their teddy bear but . they grow out of that .

religion maintains that personified imaginary character with promises of an afterlife . for modified behaviors that they use the fear of sin to deny the ultimate "afterlife .and play on ones fear of death

God is described as a invisible spirit . lives in heaven and is eternal .

. Afterlife is described one is an invisible spirit , lives in heaven and is eternal

. religion claims a promise of becoming like god they use the term SAVED which the word itself imply the god itself is the punish-er .as is the parent

In the case of the bible the God many times says do as i say not as I do .

he commits a lot of atrocities but he is not judged for it he is the exception.

as many times is the same mind set of parents religion maintains dependence . does not allow for questions , independence and individual thinking .One can see it in our society today many children who are adults living at home.In the 60's and 70's the conservative right were up in arms with "Kids" wanting to be independent.establishing individualism.why one loses the ability to Control others

Jesus Christ is the truth. Get a kjversion Bible and believe. Here is wisdom: " But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find [him], if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul."- The Word of God. As the Word spread, it destroyed lies now called myths so they had to make up all new lies like buddhism, islam and so forth, literally made up on spot to deny the truth. Jewish people have to omit the scriptures to deceive their own people from the truth and they don't use old testament as they claim anyway but talmud or whatever. Get a kjversion Bible and believe. Start here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqKqRHNVYb0 and see even nations as written. Athiests hate that. And see here, why isn't this in textbook? Want to hide truth as man said, what has happened to my discoveries? The Scholarly world has fallen silent." See, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaXAgJ3sOvw and so on. Then endless testimony from athiests, muslims and so forth that now glorify Jesus Christ as they found the truth! See, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvvClFSMIzA and part 2. and, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLimoqZUWgw and so on. That doesn't even cover people coming back to life and being healed. Are the doctors lying too? So much evidence can't go into it all here. head of human genome project turned Christian, no way all this data wrote itself from a rock! I mean all evidence is with Word. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cn84NYTZ-S0

If you ask Jesus Christ into your heart and life you will come to know God's active Love in your life, in many inspiring and wonderful ways. Miracles of healing are the best signs of God's active power, I and my Christian relatives and friends have known a few such interventions by the loving power of Father/God Some still slip through the net and die of cancer. But death for the Christian is the start of a new and wonderful life.



Once you have asked Christ into your life you are fulfilled and satisfied that you have found the true Divine. Jesus symbolically described himself as the Bread of Life and Living Water. Jesus satisfies the soul because he is one manifestation of Almighty God.

Mine own: that is the meaning of "faith". The sacred expression "right or wrong my country" shows that even patriotism may give rise to occasional moral doubts or qualms which it is our bounden duty to ignore and override, but religion never admits such doubts. A religious doubter is an apostate lacking the courage to proclaim his damnation (or hers).

I you believe, then you do not know (meaning completely sure knowledge). If you know, then you do not believe: you know.

A life is a quest for beatitude; thusly it is a search for truth. Pieces of truth can be found everywhere; but I believe that the Catholic Church posseses the whole truth that is present in the human culture.

The correct religion is the one the honor God the creator: King James Version Ps 83:18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth. King James Version Ps 83:18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth. Accept his son Jesus as the mediator between God and man. 1 Timothy 2:5, 6

5 For there is one God,+ and one mediator+ between God and men,+ a man, Christ Jesus,+ 6 who gave himself a corresponding ransom for all*+—this is what is to be witnessed to in its own due time. The religion accept God's inspired word by living by it and reading it daily.

2Ti 3:16 All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.

Psalms 1:1 Happy is the man who does not walk according to the advice of the wicked And does not stand on the path of sinners And does not sit in the seat of scoffers.  2 But his delight is in the law of Jehovah, And he reads His law in an undertone day and night.  3 He will be like a tree planted by streams of water, A tree that produces fruit in its season, The foliage of which does not wither. And everything he does will succeed.

They would should love to one another and would not off to fight their brothers in another country. John 13:34 I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, you also love one another. 35 By this all will know that you are my disciples—if you have love among yourselves.” They would set a good example and help other to learn about God and Jesus Christ. Joh 17:3 This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ. Matthew 28:19 Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.” This is just a few, for more information go to www.JW.org.

God himself should be the one to answer that question And he does let us know that there is only one that he approves of. Let us see how Ephesians 4:4-6 can help us answer that.

(Ephesians 4:4-6) One body there is, and one spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.



Do you notice how the word ONE is used 7 times. What should this impress on our minds?

Not all religions are the same. The Bible contains many examples of religions that displease God. These fall into two basic categories.

Category 1: Worshipping false gods



The Bible describes the worship of false gods with such terms as “delusion,” “futility,” and “useless.” (Jeremiah 10:3-5; 16:19, 20) Jehovah * God commanded the ancient nation of Israel: “You must not have any other gods besides me.” (Exodus 20:3, 23; 23:24) When the Israelites worshipped other gods, “Jehovah became enraged.”—Numbers 25:3; Leviticus 20:2; Judges 2:13, 14.



God still has the same attitude toward the worship of such “so-called gods.” (1 Corinthians 8:5, 6; Galatians 4:8) He commands those who want to worship him to stop associating with those who practice false religion, saying: “Get out from among them, and separate yourselves.” (2 Corinthians 6:14-17) If all religions are the same and lead people to God, then why would God give such a command?



Category 2: Worshipping the true God in a way he does not approve



At times, the Israelites worshipped God using beliefs and practices borrowed from the worship of false gods, but Jehovah rejected this attempt to mix true religion with false. (Exodus 32:8; Deuteronomy 12:2-4) Jesus condemned the religious leaders of his day because of the way they worshipped God; they made an outward show of being religious, yet they hypocritically “disregarded the weightier matters of the Law, namely, justice and mercy and faithfulness.”—Matthew 23:23.



Likewise today, only religion that is based on truth leads people to God. This truth is found in the Bible. (John 4:24; 17:17; 2 Timothy 3:16, 17) Religions whose teachings conflict with the Bible actually steer people away from God. Many teachings that people think come from the Bible—including the Trinity, the immortal soul, and eternal torment—were borrowed from those who worshipped false gods. Worship that promotes such teachings is “in vain,” or useless, because it replaces God’s requirements with religious traditions.—Mark 7:7, 8.



God detests religious hypocrisy. (Titus 1:16) To help people draw closer to God, a religion must affect their everyday lives and not just consist of rituals or formalities. For example, the Bible says: “If any man thinks he is religious but does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he is deceiving his own heart, and his worship is futile. The religion that is clean and undefiled from the standpoint of our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation, and to keep oneself without spot from the world.” (James 1:26, 27; footnotes) The King James Version uses the expression “pure religion” for this clean, unhypocritical worship.

Roman Catholicism is the best one. I know this because it is the faith founded by Jesus and his disciple Peter.



This means that His Holiness the Pope has a direct connection with God and that the other break-away apostasies of the Protestant schism are literally excommunicated.

Please realize that there is no rational answer to your question. Religions rely on faith in their teachings. As of today there is no evidence that any religion is based on fact.

I believe in the ressurection of Jesus the Christ and all that implies. Please consider: the first persecutors of the early church started days after His death, and had some control over the region. It should have been easy to track down His corpse and show the disiples. But they didn't, and I think they couldn't.

We don't know. We simply have faith. That's why we call ourselves believers, followers and the faithful.

How can a person know which religion is right?

(1) On what are its teachings based? Are they from God, or are they largely from men? (2 Tim. 3:16; Mark 7:7) Ask, for example: Where does the Bible teach that God is a Trinity? Where does it say that the human soul is immortal?

(2) Consider whether it is making known the name of God. Jesus said in prayer to God: “I have made your name manifest to the men you gave me out of the world.” (John 17:6) He declared: “It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.” (Matt. 4:10) Has your religion taught you that ‘it is Jehovah you must worship’? Have you come to know the Person identified by that name—his purposes, his activities, his qualities—so that you feel you can confidently draw close to him?

(3) Is true faith in Jesus Christ being demonstrated? This involves appreciation of the value of the sacrifice of Jesus’ human life and of his position today as heavenly King. (John 3:36; Ps. 2:6-8) Such appreciation is shown by obeying Jesus—sharing personally and zealously in the work that he assigned to his followers. True religion has such faith that is accompanied by works.—Jas. 2:26.

(4) Is it largely ritualistic, a formality, or is it a way of life? God strongly disapproves of religion that is merely a formalism. (Isa. 1:15-17) True religion upholds the Bible’s standard of morality and clean speech instead of weakly going along with popular trends. (1 Cor. 5:9-13; Eph. 5:3-5) Its members reflect the fruits of God’s spirit in their lives. (Gal. 5:22, 23) So, those who adhere to true worship can be identified because they sincerely endeavor to apply Bible standards in their lives not only at their places of meeting but in their family life, at their secular work, in school, and in recreation.

(5) Do its members truly love one another? Jesus said: “By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.” (John 13:35) Such love reaches across racial, social, and national boundaries, drawing people together in genuine brotherhood. So strong is this love that it sets them apart as being truly different. When the nations go to war, who have enough love for their Christian brothers in other lands that they refuse to take up arms and kill them? That is what early Christians did.

(6) Is it truly separate from the world? Jesus said that his true followers would be “no part of the world.” (John 15:19) To worship God in a manner that he approves requires that we keep ourselves “without spot from the world.” (Jas. 1:27) Can that be said of those whose clergy and other members are involved in politics, or whose lives are largely built around materialistic and fleshly desires?—1 John 2:15-17.

(7) Are its members active witnesses concerning God’s Kingdom? Jesus foretold: “This good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.” (Matt. 24:14) What religion is really proclaiming God’s Kingdom as the hope of mankind instead of encouraging people to look to human rulership to solve their problems? Has your religion equipped you to share in this activity, and to do it from house to house as Jesus taught his apostles to do?—Matt. 10:7, 11-13; Acts 5:42; 20:20.

We change from the word of god[the spirit of gods word] back to the word[god] as not changing when we change what was already changed.

What do you believe a religion is? By the words you use it seems you think that there is one that is true & the rest are false?

In reality, the 1st. act of "religion" made by man took place right after Adam digested the fruit from the tree of "KNOWLEDGE".

Upon finding themselves naked Adam & Eve, not Steve, by the way, decided to cover-up their nakedness from each other & hide from God. Now keep in mind that this character, God, was the Creator. He had a lot of power & Adam & Eve were afraid, they just had to hide from the big guy.because they just knew that He would be very angry with them for disobeying Him.

As the story goes, they sawed fig leaves together & covered their bodies up with them & hid from God.

The act of using fig leaves to cover their nakedness or what really comes down to covering the result of their disobedience, sin.

Some other important result of Adam & Eves disobedience were;

#1) They fell from superior beings bestowed with great natural knowledge & masters over God`s Creation

#2) Their God given status also gave them the power to judge the very Angels themselves. Something which greatly annoyed Satan, Lucifer, the God created Archangel who prior to the creation Of Adam & Eve & his rebellious fall had the distinct privileges of being in charge over God`s creation & the lead Music Director in God`s Choir. In fact he enjoyed his unique status as God`s .....Foreman?; very much.

Anyway, his status, he thought, was second only to God`s. You see where Lucifer forgot himself? There was never any way that he could even compare himself, just a tiny little bit, to God.

But he decided that he could do a much better job than God; remember the saying: "Pride goes before a great fall"?

Well, he sure did have 1 great fall & nothing could put him back together again because nobody influenced him in going that way. He rebelled by himself & influenced other Angels in to following him all by himself.

This makes for a great difference between his rebellious fall & Adam & Eve`s influenced decision to disobey God`s command.

Once God replaced Lucifer with Adam & Eve (HUMANS) as caretakers of His Creation & gave them the authority to at some point judge the created Angels, & to top it off with giving Eve the added status of bringing the seed of God`s Savior into the world after their fall, puts a huge hatred directed at all humans from Satan but even a greater hatred directed at the woman.

Getting back to religion, it is an act by man & woman to cover their disobedience & guilt by their own means & God`s response.

How long would the fig leaves covering them last? How would they protect humans from the elements?

God`s infinite wisdom went to work & sadly, innocent animals had to bear the price for Adam & Eve`s decision by the shedding of their blood.

This was the 1st. blood sacrifice offered by a living & loving God in order to benefit human beings.

Religion is man`s attempt to cover his sinfulness through his own means.

There is no true religion that can get man close to God. No religion leads man to God or will ever save man from sin.

Jesus, the Savior is the only way to God. He`s the perfect sacrifice & the only one who can establish a relationship with God, no religion has the power to do this.

Jesus came to reveal God`s plan for our salvation, He is the way & the light that shines on the darkness of our sins, & the plan is a personal relationship with God, between the Creator & His Creation.

In simple words, Jesus came to destroy the concept of religion & to establish a Church made up of believers.

No religion is the correct one & I know this because innocent animals had to die because of our sins.
