which religion/belief is true?

HydroMan: with so many religions and beliefs out there, is it even possible to find the one true belief?

As a Christian, I put my faith in Jesus. But at the same, I like to learn about other religions and beliefs, compare them with my own, and see whether they might be more accurate (challenge my beliefs). And with so many out there, it seems difficult to know whether or not it is possible to find the 'one true faith'

I would like to know what others think, and if this is something others struggle with, regardless what your own beliefs or religion might be

suchso: I used to struggle. I used to be a cynic, agnostic, and I considered myself atheist for a few years. But since I have realized the truth in Christ's gospel, I don't find it a struggle anymore.

I know as humans, we cannot comprehend everything there is to know. I think there is "one true faith", but it does not belong to any man made religion or sect. We never stop learning, and if anyone has stopped learning, they must be dead! lol

Personally, I don't attend any church. Not that there's anything wrong with going to church. But as a Christian, you know the Church is not a building, but is the body of believers.

I like to learn about other religions and beliefs too, but so far, nothing compares to the Way, the Truth and the Life in Christ. Peace bro.

Zanjan: "is it even possible to find the one true belief? "

Nope, because there's no such thing. Everybody believes something different, even those in the same religion, same denomination/ sect don't agree on everything. We are each unique so "belief" aint all it's cracked up to be. Acquiring spiritual virtues is far more important than banking a pile of beliefs.

You're comparing religions, not faith - faith is universal; one has it or they don't. Faith in God is not staunch belief, it's complete trust in God. With faith, it's easy to obey and, that obedience is what brings understanding.

All religions originally came from God........all the Revelators of God have been true.
However, you choose the religion that feels most comfortable to you, the one that fits you best, the one where members are most like yourself, the one where you think you might actually learn something.

That's how it works...if God had wanted it any other way, we'd all belong to the same, identical religion and nobody would be an atheist.

I was never a Christian because there was nothing new for me to learn there. Also, far too outdated.

HydroMan: ty suchso. I find, as Christians, we often make claims about Christianity as though we are absolutely certain that Christianity is the one true faith. But I think we need to keep an open mind and understand that we are finite creatures and do not know everything (ie have not researched every religion or philosophy). This does not mean that we are to reject our beliefs, it simply means that we need to keep an open mind and consider the possibility that our beliefs may be wrong

Are you saying Christianity WAS the true religion at the time of Christ, but not anymore?
So it's 175 B.E. eh? Who invented that idea, I wonder.

Zanjan: I'm saying that every religion God sent was through a Divine Revelator; on that Day, a new Age began. To mark this development, the Revelator delivered a new calendar to believers. He sets the first day on that calendar; thus, the former dispensation is officially over at the end of the day (sunset) before the new calendar begins (sunrise).

The world will continue to use its old calendar for a long time, for business convenience only. Eventually, government finds that people are using the newer calendar more often so it makes the switch.

Anyone who doesn't recognize that we're living in a different Age right now must have their head stuck in the sand.

suchso: Well in my opinion,
No doubt we are in a new age. But God never changes.
Jesus showed us the Way to know God.
And no doubt the Christian "religion" was abused for political gain through the Romans, and now there are all sorts of distortions and divisions of the Christian faith.
But Christ's gospel is still recorded in the bible after 2000 years. And that gospel is still true for us now as it was then. Regardless of the prophets/religions dispensations or whatever else comes along.

Zanjan: "But God never changes."

True; thus, He never changes His Own ways. He repeats, often. He warns, He makes promises then fulfills them, every time. He is faithful to His Divine Plan for mankind, which He has told you about. This should tell you something about His predictability.

"Jesus showed us the Way to know God."

He pointed. If you *know* the Way, you should be able to see what has been, what is, and what's coming. No mystery. You should know everything that God wants from you and do it. If you don't, He'll find someone else who will......... He always does.

And way more fool hardy to reject any of God's Revelators. They were all the same. So, if you reject any, then by what proof have you truly believed in even one of them?

Blackshoes: We'll soon see if those Revelators, prophets ,even angels from heaven' that deny Christ ,and his love, are of God 'or within God Love !
No matter how Sinless or Holy those that reject Christ seem' within ',they are no better than filthy Rags
According to God Word they are already dammed .

John 3:16

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 3:36


“He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.”

The Bible says it .I believe it .That settles it !

Of course you'll say' there other books and preachers
Yet: if they deny Christ and his teachings ? Then the truth is not in them !


Galatians 1:8-9

8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.


I say it ',as I see it
Jesus told the truth and they called him a sinner and a wine bibber
In the end they Hung him on a cross .Thinking or assuming that would be it !
Only to find that Death could not hold down the Creator of all things
Death is only the Beginning . Not the End ! For we will either spend Our forever and ever', with Christ or without him

Only God ,the truth, the light ,and the way can set one free from the Sins and the darkness that controls the world .

As suchso: stated above " I like to learn about other religions and beliefs too, but so far, nothing compares to the Way, the Truth and the Life in Christ. Peace bro."

Nothing will ever overcome the Truth
No matter what One believes, accepts ,or denies

Anyone can agree with Christ - it's easy, conveniently accessible, and by no means a test a faith, intelligence or understanding. Even the wicked, neglectful and ignorant have joined this community, and non-believers have adopted His sayings and holidays.

So, to imply that this is the sign of the truth teller is a bunch of BS.

My post states . If those you follow ,accept or listen too ! No matter how Holy or religious . Those that Deny Christ , or his resurrection ,In the flesh ,or his word ,or if they claim to be Christ', here on earth !

They are not of God ", and Are according to God word Antichrist "


David Koresh Claimed to be Jesus thus he's no prophet ! He's Antichrist and a devil !

Galatians 1

9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. 11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. 12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Zanjan: Jesus fully supported past and future Prophets coming down from God; in fact, He promised this would be a test for Christians. Who will you listen to - followers, or Christ?

Remember, the anti-christ are not just leaders who hijack God's religion and turn it into man's religion, it's the careless who manipulate every verse because they're ill-motivated.

1 John 4:3

3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

Zanjan: Nope. Yours is an interpretation. The antichrist is anyone who hates Divine Light.

I notice you almost never quote Christ, Himself. We see where your interests lay.

If one would stick only to what the Revelators say, they'd never go astray. Except in the case of Buddhist scriptures - men tampered with the Word and removed the word "God" at almost every opportunity, crediting words to Buddha that they, themselves devised.
