Is there a 'right' religion...if so which one is the right one, and does that mean that all the others are false?

What sets Christianity different from all other religions, even Judaism which Christianity derived from is belief in Jesus Christ/Yeshua hamashiach. Christianity believes in the Creator of all heaven and Earth and the lives there in.

And just about every other religion believes in a god of some sort that created all things - not sure about Spiritualism - I believe they believe they're one with the universe (which is also true, we are one, what man has determined to exist in the universe, also exist on Earth, and humans are of the elements of the Earth).

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam - as far as my knowledge is - are the only religions that states there will be judgment of all, sentencing to death or eternal life - according to the works one did while living on Earth. The three are based on the belief of man during the time of Adam, to Methuselah, to Abraham, to Isaac, to Jacob - which is called Judaism these days.

That sets Judaism Christianity Islam apart from all other religions. Man has theorized Hinduism is the oldest but actually the belief system of Judaism is the oldest. Passed down from generation to generation from the days of the first man whether it was 6,000 _ 10,000 _ 100,000 years ago.

I stand behind Christianity and accept Judaism as the beginning - what they now call Judaism is in the Christian Bible, which we call the Old Testament.

I believe Christianity is true - Judaism is true with the exception of their lack of belief in the Divinity of Christ. The other religions are not false because they exist but the entities they consider as gods are not the, is not the true God of this Earth but is/are false gods.

The world has no excuse these days!

@SDavis And really, given the many superb books now available, you have you any excuse for posting such insular nonsense.

Try to give Thomas Merton a look. But there are so many others.

@SW-User calling me ignorant on the sly. Right back at you.

And what I post isn't nonsense it's fact - whether you and whoever Thomas Merton is accepted as fact I don't give a hoot.

Adam and Eve served the God later named Yahweh who was once called Elohim of the Canaanites. And since Adam and Eve are considered the first man and woman, again whether 6,010,100,000 their religion to a higher deity is older than Hinduism.

According to scientific research studies evaluations man has been around a long time and the homo sapiens migrated from Africa over 80,000 years ago and that's not speaking of the homo erectus or the ancestor of the neanderthal

@SDavis Hi, I tend to see that some people just love the thought of being "persecuted" as it pumps up their sense of being "of the truth" according to particular readings of some NT verses - which they always read in their own favout.

You state explicitly that no one has any excuse for not acknowledging that YOU are of the one and only true Faith.

Expect to be [i]challenged[/i].

@SW-User hi - out of these years I've been on various sites my words have been challenged. Your second comment to me - shows you ready to argue. I don't argue I will correspond *two or three times*. And I definitely quit corresponding to those that cast insults. Guess you'll be spreading the word to come let's so-called persecute this one here!

The past few decades where Christianity was the prevalent religion non-believers have been challenging it. Believers in other gods over the centuries and atheist countries such as China don't challenge it they just deny it.

Some people love the thought of being persecuted - it pumps up the sense of Truth. Oh that sounds just like a true atheist. Atheists especially in this country love to challenge to persecute as much as humanly possible WITH WORDS Christians. The time is at hand when the One World government and the mandated mark begin - the majority of things are set in place and what is true persecution will start. And it's not the love of persecution it's love for our Lord.

And I am honest - I don't care whether a person believes in Christ or not that's their business that's their choice. I used to but not anymore.

@SDavis Why on earth do you say I would seek to "spread the word" to "persecute" you.

Sorry mate, you really do love to see yourself as being "under the hammer". Maybe some REAL persecution - which is being suffered each and every day by people of all faiths and none - would wake you up a bit.

So OK, you don't care anymore.

All the best

@SW-User no where did I say I would seek to spread the word to persecute you!!

And I don't know where you come from with this persecution and me really loving to be under the hammer. Your train of thought is off concerning me or anything I've said.

You speak as if you know about my daily life - you don't know a thing about me or what I have went through living in this world. You wake up!

@SDavis You said:-

[i]Guess you'll be spreading the word to come let's so-called persecute this one here![/i]

I asked why you should say this of me. Maybe I misunderstand.

None of us really know any other here.

All the best.
SDavis · 56-60, F
@SW-User I don't persecute nor do I spread the word to persecute. Another error on your part in your analysis of who I am.

And very few Christians of this modern society are actually hostile or treat any non-Christian in an ill way a persecuting type way. It is **mainly** the non-christians that are hostile and treat certain groups in hostile ill type manners.

@SDavis Sorry, you seem to have gone off at a tangent. I can't follow you. You seem unable to follow me. We seem at cross purposes.

All the best
SDavis · 56-60, F
@SW-User no I haven't went off on a tangent I asked questions trying to understand what you were trying to say.
And from your initial reply I understood we were at Cross purposes.
All the best to you too - goodbye
