1 | Other Religions Just As Good As CHRISTAN | Bible general Archive 2 | REX | 108466 | ||
Aren’t Other Religions Just As Good As Christianity? Read Acts 4:12 Some people say that all religions basically say and teach the same thing, so they must all be “true.” To quote another well-used phrase, “If a person is really sincere in what he or she believes, he or she will get to heaven.” In reality, all belief systems cannot be true, because they contradict one another. Many would like to think that all religions blend together beautifully, but they do not. Look at the differences between what the followers of three major world religions believe compared with what Christians believe. The Existence of a Personal God. l Buddhists deny the existence of a personal God. l Hindus believe in two major gods, Vishnu and Siva, as well as in millions of lesser gods. l Muslims believe in one God named Allah. l Christians believe that God is a being who created humans in his own image and who loves them and wants to have a personal relationship with them. The Subject of Salvation. l Buddhists believe salvation is by self-effort only. l Hindus believe you achieve salvation by devotion, works, and self-control. l Muslims believe that people earn their own salvation and pay for their own sins. l Christians believe that Jesus Christ died for their sins. If people turn from their sins and follow Jesus, they can be forgiven and have the hope of being with Jesus in heaven. The Person of Jesus Christ. l Buddhists believe that Jesus Christ was a good teacher, though less important then Buddha. l Hindus believe that Jesus was just one of many incarnations—or sons—of God. Yet they also assert that Christ was not the unique Son of God. He was no more divine then any other man, and he did not die for people’s sins. l Muslims believe that Jesus Christ was the greatest of the prophets below Muhammad. In addition, they do not believe that Christ died for people’s sin. l Christians believe that Jesus is God as well as man, that he was sinless, and that he died to redeem humankind. As you can see, you cannot believe in all of the major religious beliefs. That is because each religion eventually contradicts the claims of Christianity [Fritz Ridenour, So What’s the Difference? (Glendale: Gospel Light Publications, 1967)]. I know this site is for asking questions or opinions on Biblical subjects that you are not clear on. But I have a series of questions in a New Believers Bible that are answered very well and true to the word of God. I hope that this question and answer helps someone seeking to know God and Truth. If no one objects I will post these questions on a regular basis. GOD BLESS all who read this. REX |
