One True Religion
The western nations are fast filling themselves with negative evil sentiment, anti-God, anti-religion, anti-truth, anti-Bible, anti-Christ sentiment and pro-immorality, pro-tolerance of evil, pro-abortion, pro-immigration of enemies of the state and pro-militant-anti-negative sentiment. Mankind is on an increasingly obvious course of self-destruction.
For ages man has searched for and created religions and beliefs often being influenced by the lies and deceptions of Satan the Devil in his thoughts attitudes and rituals setting his moral compass on destruction.
Man is increasingly rejecting the very guidance and sensibleness that it desperately needs. The most reliable source for understanding God is the Bible. Only those who have studied it wholeheartedly know this to be true. The Bible reveals Jesus Christ who in turn reveals His Father, their plan for mankind and the way of life required to attain eternal life in the kingdom of God, salvation. We also know that there is no other book or religion to rival it. There is only one God and one religion, one true religion. All others fall short, they fail. All others are pagan, that is not from God.
Let's look at the major established religions of the world:
Mainstream Christianity
2.34 billion, wikipedia.org (1/3 of world's population approx.)Mainstream Christianity is made up of various denominations that all adhere to; pagan Sunday worship, the denial that Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath, the notion that the holy spirit is other than the power of God, the denial that Jesus was three full days and three full nights in the heart of the earth, after his death and before His resurrection, and the denial that Jesus is coming back to this earth to establish the Kingdom of God once and forever here on this earth, among many other denials and disagreements with the Holy Bible, the very Word of God. They are all guilty of profusely using the name of God the Father and of His only begotten holy and righteous Son Jesus in vain. They all similarly use the Bible in vain. They get away with it because of the ignorance and gullibility of their members. They pull the wool over the sheep's eyes and the sheep follow blindly.
Here are a few of the organizations that make up the Mainstream Christians:
Roman Catholicism
1.2 billion, wikipedia.orgRoman Catholicism was established in Rome but has its roots in Babylon. Jesus was a Jew and Christianity was established in Israel which includes Jerusalem, it has its roots in the Old Testament. If you don't know the difference yet you are among the deceived, it's time to do some research and study. It's time to justify your beliefs, to authenticate your knowledge, to separate facts from fiction. Protestants and Anglicans and others merely object to the leader of the pack primarily and not to the contents of the burdensome load of false doctrine and pagan practises.
Protestantism
600–800 million, wikipedia.orgAnglicanism
85 million, wikipedia.orgEastern Orthodoxy
225–300 million, wikipedia.orgOriental Orthodoxy
86 million, wikipedia.orgIslam
- Middle East and North Africa21.01% (1,426,592,071 people), chartsbin.com, 7 year old data
Islam is basically an organisation that gives its male members license to kill, rape, pillage, be pedophiles, beat their wives, practise polygamy and do other atrocities without authority except that of Satan the devil who is destined to eternal punishment.
Proverbs 29:2 (NKJV)
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.
Hinduism
- India13.26% (900,362,250 people), chartsbin.com, 7 year old data
Hinduism contains a broad range of philosophies, shared concepts and rituals. It has no founder. It is completely man made and makes no claim to founding divine affiliation. By contrast Christianity was founded by Jesus Christ, who is and claims to be the only begotten Son the our almighty Creator God and Father, and who is the heir to the coming spiritual Kingdom of God.
Agnosticism
- Global11.77% (799,190,323 people), chartsbin.com, 7 year old data
According to the philosopher William L. Rowe, "agnosticism is the view that human reason is incapable of providing sufficient rational grounds to justify either the belief that God exists or the belief that God does not exist". Agnosticism is a doctrine or set of views rather than a religion as such. Wikipedia.org
An agnostic is a person who believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God or of anything beyond material phenomena; a person who claims neither faith nor disbelief in God. Internet
In my words, agnostics are Biblically illiterate and reject the Word of God, they are fools.
Chinese Folk Religion
6.56% (445,428,082 people), chartsbin.com, 7 year old dataChinese religions have a variety of sources, local forms, founder backgrounds, and ritual and philosophical traditions. Wikipedia.org
None of these are attributed to the Bible and its teachings. The bible is unique in many ways. It is the most authentic and comprehensive source of knowledge of history, of deity, of divine intensions, of divine interventions, of divine instructions, of divine prophecy and of eternal life in man's possession. No other documents exist that comes remotely close to it.
Buddhism
5.84% (396,539,633 people), chartsbin.com, 7 year old dataBuddhism is based on the concepts of life as depicted by one man, Buddha, but altered in time by its adherents. It is mainly philosophy, rituals and wishful thinking. Buddha had no apparent lineage or claim to God.
Atheism
- Global2.32% (157,529,444 people), chartsbin.com 7, year old data
Atheism is, in the broadest sense, the absence of belief in the existence of deities. Less broadly, atheism is the rejection of belief that any deities exist. In an even narrower sense, atheism is specifically the position that there are no deities. Atheism is contrasted with theism, which, in its most general form, is the belief that at least one deity exists. Wikipedia.org
In other words atheism is belief in the biggest lie ever to be told by a living creature, that there is no God. My understanding is that atheists are fools who believe that intelligent, rational, reasoning, people who disagree with them are idiots.
Judaism
- Global0.23% (15,617,144 people), chartsbin.com 7, year old data
Judaism is a misrepresentation of the Old Testament. The Old Testament is the root of Christianity. The New Testament establishes Christ as the trunk and the branches are the members of the Church of God. The three together form the symbolic Christian tree; roots, trunk and branches. Without the trunk and branches Judaism is, at best, incomplete and fruitless.
True Christianity
Numbers are difficult to establish but there are hundreds of Christian Sabbath keeping groups but not all adhere to all holy scripture.
True Christianity has its roots in the Old Testament and has Jesus Christ as the trunk and the Church as the branches in the New Testament.
Romans 11:18 (GNB)
How can you be proud? You are just a branch; you don’t support the roots, the roots support you.
True religion is only manifested in true Christianity. It is represented by the whole Bible both the Old and the New Testaments and is spiritually discerned. Much like any discipline, chemistry, literature, history, biology, mathematics, it can only be acquired by those who give it due diligence, careful thoughtful study and by those to whom God reveals its secrets, not unlike those who can understand reason and difficult concepts and learn and retain things of the material world.
Proverbs 14:6 (NKJV)
A scoffer seeks wisdom and does not find it, But knowledge is easy to him who understands.
Mankind needs to change course. If it does not change course then it is basically every man for himself. If you can't change the world perhaps you can change yourself, with God's help. Perhaps you can accept the invitation from Jesus to pick up your cross and follow Him unto salvation. Follow He who is the resurrection, the truth and the life.
Mark 8:34 (The Living Bible)
Then he (Jesus) called his disciples and the crowds to come over and listen. “If any of you wants to be my follower,” he told them, “you must put aside your own pleasures and shoulder your cross, and follow me closely.
John 14:6 (NKJV)
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
John 11:25 (NKJV)
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.
Romans 1:18 to 23 (NKJV)
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into ... (corruptions of their imaginations)
Here is some divine insight from One with true knowledge and understanding. His words, though spoken to Jews, can and do apply to all, all men and all their misleading religious organizations.
John 8:42 to 47 (NKJV)
Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me. Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me. Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me? He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.”
Revelation 12:9 (NKJV)
So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world;
Romans 13:1 (NKJV)
Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.
Proverbs 29:2 (NKJV)
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.
Deuteronomy 30:19 (NKJV)
I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;
John 6:51 (NKJV)
I (Jesus) am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.
John 11:25 (NKJV)
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.
John 14:6 (NKJV)
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
So all those religions of the world who do not follow Jesus are false religions.
