THE TRUTH ABOUT RELIGIONS
December 17, 2006 - 12:33 AM

From my experiences of talking to many people about their religious beliefs, I understand that few, if any, have a genuine understanding of God. Everyone seems to have different ideas about this or that aspect of God - whether S/He(?) is benevolent and forgiving, or harsh and vengeful. Generally, I find Christians to be the least united as far as beliefs are concerned. This can be clearly seen by the enormous number of different sects / creeds / divisions (whatever you like to call them) in the Christian community. Other religions, too, have a variety of different sects and beliefs, but none with as many as Christianity. If Christians all use the same scripture, then why is it that they have so many different beliefs. If God had given them that book (the Bible), would S/He(?) have made it so difficult to understand and interpret correctly? Perhaps the Bible comes from satan and not from God? Take a look at the following web-site (CLICK HERE). What do you think?

My dear Christianity is not a religion but a life style which one would pleases to live, and ofcourse it is that faithful living deviod of sin. Remember each person has his or her personal idealogy which has came into many of our congregation nowadays but get right to the fact that Christ was sinless and such was call for all christains and not religionism.

Regards to the bible, it is of God and I challenge you to spare 1hour in seven days and clearify yourself that doubtcool

Jesus Christ carefully did everything asigned him on earth perfectly and that is why he is a perfect man which made him Godman.

Guess if everybody will live like Christ and not religionism.

a unique and .... idea,
christianity was a religion brought by jesus christ to the world before mohammad. he was the messanger of God. it is not a simple idealogy from which u could deviate at any time u wish.
by the way what do u mean by Godman?

yes, it does seem that the bible can be hard to understand it if you have always be taught it wrong. many people feel that god is to blem for the things that happen but thats not true the bible clearly states that the world is lying in the power of the wicked one that one would by satan the and his demons. also to you wrote s(he) as if you do not really know what gender God will he is a sprit which means you can not see Him in the bible it clearly states Father so there for when you think of a Father you think of a male. God is the to blem because in the bible it says that god can not be tryed non can or will try anyone one else.

The main scriptures are send by God Allah across revelation
the Judaiesm, christianity were followed by islam to clear facts which were hidden bysome who do not accept religions
the problem in religions preceeded Islam is that bibles were not written in the main language , so translations caused many mistakes
for this reason Quraan was revealed from our creator who promised to preserve Quraan so you find the same copy of Quraan in hands of all muslims around the worls in Arabic language (its original language), but translations may differ , so we all pray and read Quraan in Arabic
even those who do not know but they pray in Arabic and feel in hearts but it is beter to learn Arabic to feel sweetness of Quraan
for other religions they must return to bibles with original language and they will find that the three scriptures have the same education and complete each other and from one God
salam (peace)

Jesus Christ never named any religion after him rather His fellowers are called Christians which is not a religion but life style for those who understands. cool

Of course everything confirms Jesus life as sinless and most favourable to humanity which need to copyimg to suit present situation as Himself never like war, hatred, strive or killing but rather He embraced LOVE which the world greatest needs of our time.smile

Exactly. But it is the religions and their followers who create the wars and hatred and terrorism. Religions, not their initiators, are evil.

okay, i'm a teenager, so i think this will be pretty clear without a lot of "wishy-washy" stuff. the bible, according to the religion i'm part of, is perfect and inspired by God. the problem is, it was written in Greek and translated, then the translations were translated, and so on, so there are bound to be anomalies. plus, it's obivious that people don't always interpret things the same way. God's Word is perfect; people aren't.

Sweet. If only everything in life could be laid down by irrational fiat like that.

Yes, so the Bible, having been written, translated and interpreted by those same imperfect people, has become very corrupted over the centuries. Jesus himself spoke Aramaic, and as we have no original texts which were written in that language, how can we know what he actually said? So how can you say that the Bible is perfect?

when a person believes that bible is word of god, it has to be perfect. becaue god knows all the goods and bads about his creation.

the true biblic ideas are provided in Quran, as muslims we believe in all of them, we believe in jusus as a propeht of allah, he enunciated the birth of our prophet mohammad, and if a muslim denies the prophet hood of jesus, could not be regarded as muslim.

in quran we have a complete chapter, called Maryam (marry) and the story of jesus from his birth tell the end is narrated by god.

The book by R.A.Anderson ( "Church of God? or the Temples of Satan" ) will tell you the Truth about ALL religions and their false claims to Spirituality.

Re: THE TRUTH ABOUT RELIGIONS

[link="http://www.ship.edu/~cgboeree/platoscave.html"]The truth of religions, including Christianity (which is more of a lifestyle, than a religion), can only be found when delved into themselves. I've been to Tibet where tons of muddled New ager's come to find "peace" and what they find are rat-ridden,delapidated monastaries, reeking of rancid yak-butter, and packed with politically motivated monks. What I'm trying to say is that you can't condemn something until you know about it. It's just common sense. Plato gives an allusion to "seeing the light", in his allegory of the cave. I suggest you read it. I'll provide a link below- it clears thinks up about religions. If your really seeking, you will really find. It's not a cliche, it's reality.
