Bible Question: I have a question on religion and concentrated areas. By this I mean Christianity is the bigest religion of this country, and people are more than likely to be a christian than something else. Over in Asia Buhhda is one of the main religions. How is a person raised to believe in the Buhhdism religion, from the moment he was born, made to believe so strongly, or any other religion for that matter... can it really be held against him if he hears one person say something small about God, maybe even see a bible, and the discredits it because he has been raised to believe something completely different his whole life? How is a person truely supposed to know? And also, since the bible teaches that one must accept Jesus Christ into his heart and ask for forgivness to make it to heaven... then what of muslims, catholics, mormons, ect? How do you know and chose which one is right, especially if you are taught a certain religion your whole life? How do we know Christianity is true over the others? How do muslims know their religion is true over the others? How? |
Bible Answer: What Is The Right Religion? 'Question: "What is the right religion for me?" 'Answer: Fast food restaurants entice us by allowing us to order our food exactly how we want it. Some coffee shops boast over a hundred different flavors and variations of coffee. Even when buying houses and cars, we can look for one with all the options and features we desire. We no longer live in just a chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry world. Choice is king! You can find about anything you want according to your own personal likes and needs. 'So how about a religion that is just right for you? How about a religion that is guilt-free, makes no demands, and is not encumbered with a lot of bothersome do's and don'ts? It is out there, just as I have described, but is religion something to be chosen like a favorite flavor of ice cream? 'There are a lot of voices vying for our attention, so why should anyone consider Jesus above, say, Muhammad or Confucius, Buddha, or Charles Taze Russell, or Joseph Smith? After all, don't all roads lead to Heaven? Aren't all religions basically the same? The truth is all religions do not lead to Heaven just as all roads do not lead to Indiana. 'Jesus alone speaks with the authority of God because Jesus alone conquered death. Muhammad, Confucius, and the others molder in their graves to this very day, but Jesus, by His own power, walked away from the tomb three days after dying on a cruel Roman cross. Anyone with power over death deserves our attention. Anyone with power over death deserves to be heard...' To read more go to: www.gotquestions.org/right-religion.html |
