Who is right when it comes to religions about spirituality and the spirit world? [Spirituality & Religion]

I only believe in Christianity because I had a vision of the cross when I was redeemed and it has explained ALL of my spiritual experiences almost to a T.......BUT I had a talk with a Native who goes to sweat lodges and he said that he can feel the hand of a spirit on his shoulder too just like me, to him its a spirit to me its the hand of the Lord.....I am not all too familiar with what it says about the spirit world in the Islamic religion, or even Buddists....Except that they too also see a great light which Christians believe is Jesus in spirit form......Are all of these religions trying to do their best to explaine the spirit world? Which one is closest to the truth?

Actually if all the ways lead to the same exact ideal, isn’t that where free will comes in? You get to choose the way that’s most efficient for you..

@exoid Except, in this case, all the "ways" does not lead to the same exact ideal.

@Lincoln98 well, technically the ideals are the same. It’s the interpretation that seems to differentiate them from one another.

@exoid "the ideals are the same". Truly, they are not. Islam says the only way is belief in Allah & Mohammed; Christianity says faith in Jesus Christ alone; Hindusim, 100s of gods; etc.
But, I must ask, why would you suppose they are the same?

exoid · 26-30, M

@Lincoln98 because I find faith and belief to be processes, whereby the end goal, is still self-transcendence through material rejection. That would be the ideal I’m referring to. I could go further in depth.. but I’d pm you my reasoning.
