    There are so many religions in the world and yet there are those who believe in nothing but themselfs, and yet those that believe in God live as though they dont believe , just by the way they live, and the things they say! when really they want others to believe in them and give there word thought! the evidence is that they can only speak, because someone greater then them allowed them to be born , Yes I do believe this God is owed our respect and a listening ear to what he has to say!even man made laws make us accountable for our choices! I believe that many will be accountable
    and will we be ready to accept , the judgement behind the choices!

      This has haunted me for many years. I want to make sure that I am going in the right direction. There are so many religions and false prophecies that I am stunned. I was brought up with many different religions but prefer to keep church in my heart. I believe in God and have followed the King James version of the Bible. I have been told by others of many faiths that this is not the correct Bible, or I am following the wrong religion. I am not sure if God will hold me responsible for the things I am unknown to. I follow what I was taught and experienced and investigated to see what is the real way. This is a good question. Following to find out more.

        Hi Lavender! I love that color! I know exactly how you feel, you sound just like me many years ago perhaps I could say about 3 different religions, where my experience! but basicly I needed to know what God wanted from me, what was acceptable to him ! was I ready to accept what I read, what it ment and the steps of applying it would be the work that would make me a better person to myself and to those who are learning and appling the same things, and mostly ,a true sign would be as Jesus gave us ! Love , love for the Father his name and his son ,and love for our neighbors,if you notice that would mean all people no matter the color or race! Acts 10 :34-35 notice it says( All nations) all people,love would be the true mark of approved Christains today(  Not want be s and living false to the name) but the real ones the bible talks about in Revelation! 7:13-14-17 yes people who really clean there lifes up because of the truth and there love for God and his son! they will get Gods blessing for the future! it tells you part of it in verse 17! There is more good news to share! I am happy to share it with anyone who will read there bible and ready to answer your questions!

      It seems to me that, if you own an internal, an inside yourself, sense that there is a God and that we are accountable to Him for who and what we are, what we believe and how we live our lives, etc, then perhaps our first best step is to consider the world we find ourselves in. There are indeed a great multitude of religious ideas, a great many different notions in the world we find ourselves in about who God is and what is expected of us . . .  and so, the reasonable course would be to examine the various ideas, not just adopt as your own belief whatever religion happens to be the one your own family and culture provide you, but to consider all the different ideas offered but all the different religions.

      Now, when you do that, and interesting thing becomes clear - while specific rituals and rules, etc, may differ, all religions essentially assert the same idea, namely, that 'here' is how to please God, do 'these' things and don't do 'those' things and God will reward you . . . whether it's Hinduism, Judaism, Islam, Mormonism, wiccan, etc, etc, they are all basically saying the same thing - do good (whatever they reckon good to be) and God will reward you, do bad and God will punish you. That is the message of every religion man has come-up with.

      Then you come to the teaching of Jesus and His apostles (and the prophets of the OT, etc) and you don't merely find a different message, you find the exact opposite message. Christianity alone asserts that there is not enough good that you can do, that there is in fact nothing you can to please God and win His favor. Christianity asserts that you are spiritually dead and that you stand already condemned before God . . . Christianity's message is that you are without hope and there's nothing that you can do. BUT, the Bible declares that this is why Jesus came, that your salvation is a free gift, that because there is nothing you can do Jesus did it all on your behalf. Christianity presents an entirely different idea than all the religions of the world.

      So, the thing then to consider is this; if there is a God and if He is the infinite eternal spirit who created all that is, are all the various religious ideas man at different times and in different cultures has concocted the truth . . . has man, whose history is a history of brutality and evil, have we figured-out the truth about God? Or have we continually gotten it wrong and God Himself had to prepare the way and then come down Himself to reveal to us who He is and what the truth is?

      Can you follow Islam or Hinduism or whatever, and as long as you do your best and your 'good' out weighs your bad and you're not like Hitler or anything, and you light all the right candles or face in the right direction when you pray, etc, then you are ok enough to live with the perfect and holy God forever . . . has man gotten it right again and again throughout history with just minor practical particulars - or was Jesus telling the truth when He said that He was the only way and that no one can come to God except through Him? It seems to me that either all religions are basically the truth and man got it right over and over again - or Christianity is exclusively the truth because it is the one message that comes from God and not from men.

      Jesus said that all others who came before Him or who come after Him saying 'here is the truth' and 'this is the way to God' are liars and that He alone is the only way to God and the only hope we have.

        Very good, Mickey.

        I think there are even a few Christians who are merely and only paying lip service to the idea of "following Christ."

        Perhaps one thing we need to be humble about (at least I feel a need to) is, what does "following Christ" mean? There are so many interpretations of scripture. I want to listen to those interpretations, but then to listen to the quiet, still voice within and hope I hear it accurately. Staying humble helps.

        And was Gautama Siddhartha following Christ in his own way? This is what I want to understand.

        Is the tribal shaman who never heard of the Judeo-Christian Bible following Christ when he lives in utter humility, searching within for the connection to God?

        If we get it wrong, we lose. So, I don't advise holding on to any idea too tightly lest you miss the real answer when it comes whizzing past.

        Just to be clear, your admonitions against attempted salvation by right action might be misleading. Inaction is an abomination, too. We can't merely say, "I love you Jesus," and expect that to be it. We have to do the right thing. Some "Christians" I've met are really following ego -- the master of this world. I'm still having a hard time shaking this devil, too.

        And I've even learned a bit of humility by reading your comments and hubs, so thank you very much!

          Christ showed Humility  ,he washed the feet of his diciples. A great example for us today  , I agree but he never confused it  when it was time to speak the truth! 1Peter 3:15 , for so many wanted to control his thinking or the thinking of his followers! Yet Jesus said I do not my will but the will of the one that sent me! His Father, He spoke up! not passive !Many have a fear of man! what can man do to me! when God has the last word! in all Matters!

    To answer the question, read the bible, apparently he can.

       Whoever sacrifices to any god, except the Lord alone, shall be doomed.  (Exodus 22:19 NAB)


    Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death.  Such evil must be purged from Israel.  (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)

      If a man still prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall say to him, "You shall not live, because you have spoken a lie in the name of the Lord."  When he prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall thrust him through.  (Zechariah 13:3 NAB)

      yes I do agree that there where judgements long ago spoken and applied. today many people know whats good and bad because God set the standards for what is good and bad! how would we know a lie is wrong, or any other wrong doing .But what I had in mine  was  how does that apply to us today! many  do not practice certain type of sins ,our test in life may differ from one another . the fight of the flesh or desires we seem to put God aside to enjoy! and make excuses.   we  seem to think we are an exception to Gods rule! can we accept that God knows and see everything and we will all be accountable Romans 9:28 of the earth! .

Isaiah 2:4 say these people do not war any more with one another they come from all over the world in the name of God and his son They are at peace with each other now! While the rest of the world is under satans control! they are  at peace his people..

If I ask you what I want , and you can give it to me! and I know you can! and you know you can ! So God has ask somthing from us ! many dont hear the question !and that is to respect him and his Authority ! that is found in his inspired word! and to accept it for what it says not what we want it to say! thats why we have so many religions twisting the word of God for there own purpose .Using Gods word to gain money or power! Matthew 10:8 yes the truth is Free ! we can not pay God for our relationship with him! He made silver and gold what can you give him ! respect , and to love him with your heart How can you do this  if you do not know him! there is a right way to do that !.

            Excuse me Mr shub ! I understand what you are saying ! and there is history of acts of wars in the name of religion! But the lord prayer talks about Gods name being sanctified meaning Gods name has took the wrap for many killings and many bad things that have happened on the earth! Why make man if he wanted to kill us off! the truth is satan hates Gods creation because we are in the image of God ,being able to love and make decisions ! he is the one behind the scene killing and making people think God is behind it all! slandering Gods Name ! in many so called religions each side asking God for the victory to slaughter one another!. God gives life. satan was called a man slayer in the  he takes life, from the beginning !  If you really know our heavenly father you would know that he has been accused of many things .just like Jesus!  and just like someone who has been blamed for a crime and persecuted without knowing the facts ,they continue to slander his name with untruth! if we have any goodness  in us we would examin the facts! because we just might find ourself  helping Gods enemy!

              There are a couple of anomalies here I'd like to deal with, the first being comprehension and how it works.
              My name is Earnest if I am a hubber I have a hub or two OK so far?

              As a hubber named earnest, what do you think I would call myself? Mr Shub?
              I think earnest's hub should be decipherable myself.

              Now on to another matter of comprehension.
              When your own book says something is written from god instructing people to kill, that is not satan speaking, that is god. Do you get that?

              Have a read for yourself, see where it says "and the lord said?"
              That would be what the lord said.


              If satan said it, it would read "Satan said"
              I hope that helps. smile

        If the entire story of the gospels is true, the end on the Cross was unavoidable. I still say that, if there is a God, Christianity is one of many paths. Not everyone gets things, from the same angles. And, if it was imperative to 'get it' that same deity would be actively present to ensure none were lost. The lack of evidence, if there is a God, is by design; but cannot be designed in order to condemn the soul to death. That would make no sense.

At one time Columbus thought the eath was flat and later it was discovered the earth was round The bible clearly states at Isaiah 40:22 some 2000 years ago that the earth was round! ! it states circle of the earth! bible readers new before science what the shape of earth was! there are many more to name . but like any book it would be inspired and publised !you can question who published it but not who insired the words on the pages! A book has a Author , and theme ! this book is about our history ! and instruction on how to live . there is a theme many are suppose to know and they dont! But it is a great one! I will say that!

            A circle is not a sphere. The earth is a sphere not a circle. When the bible was written, it was thought that the earth was a flat circle support by an actual foundation and covered by a dome. And this is noted in the bible. Today we know this to be false.

                I have seen the truth in the words of Christ Jesus and we can all see this truth happening around us.  He said that we cannot live on bread alone but on the words of God, as in Matthew 4:4, and he said this with conviction and truth because he is the Son of God, he is God personified as man to live with us, and now, he continues to live in us and with us as long as we believe in him, have faith in him and trust him with all our heart, with all our strength as he lives in our hearts and spirit.  Believing in his ways of loving one another is already the first step in believing in the truth in his words, as we believe in God having created us all to be one with Him through His Son, Jesus Christ.  And that in all good things that we do, God in Christ Jesus may be glorified.  If we allow evil to rule our life, then we have no eternal life in us for only when we follow Christ Jesus and have faith in him that we may have eternal life for he is 'the truth the way and the life,' as in John 14:6.  Nothing is too late, you may start welcoming Jesus in your heart and spirit through constant prayer and you will see how, by abiding by his words, you may see many blessings and miracles happen in your life.
