Which Religions Will Die Out?

[paarsurrey]

I would not call disbelief in a being that exists superstition.
It would be denial if the existence of such a being was well evidenced, ignorance if if were not.
But really... God fits neither situation. God is many things, but "existent" is not one of those. In a way he is beyond existence and alway was.

[57:1]In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
[57:2]Whatever is in the heavens and the earth glorifies Allah; and He is the Mighty, the Wise.
[57:3]His is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; He gives life and He causes death; and He has power over all things.
[57:4]He is the First and the Last, and the Manifest and the Hidden, and He knows all things full well.

I take it you disagree?

 

[thevoiceofgod]

Within the next thousand years, which major religious traditions of today (Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Judaism, whichever others you'd like to talk about) can you see dying out entirely? If any.

Will your own religion die out? I imagine not

Other side of the coin, which ones do you think are likely to flourish, grow, spread? What'll be the changes to such religions as they grow? Might they include religions that are currently pretty small, like the Baha'i Faith, the Rastafari movement, Raelianism, Cao Dai?

I'll be interested to hear people's opinions.

God planned to destroy all the religions soon. We won't understand what religion is in the New Heaven and Earth.

Daniel 2
44: And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall its sovereignty be left to another people. It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand for ever;
45: just as you saw that a stone was cut from a mountain by no human hand, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold. A great God has made known to the king what shall be hereafter. The dream is certain, and its interpretation sure."

Of course G-d exists.

One would then have to ask how come atheism even exists.

Well, it turns out that I am in a position that allows me to know for certain that you are wrong.

It is OK, we are on the opposite sides of understanding. May G-d bless you!

2. They have forsaken the Covenant taken from them.

And you actually wonder why we don't like you.

I don't wonder.
The issue is not of your liking me or disliking me. The issue is of wrath of YHWH (Yahweh) on the Judaism people:
Yechezkel - Ezekiel - Chapter 22:18-22
18"Son of man! The house of Israel has become dross to Me; all of them are copper and tin and iron and lead in the midst of a furnace; dross of silver have they become.
19Therefore, so said the Lord God: Because you have all become dross, therefore behold, I gather you together into the midst of Jerusalem.
20As they gather silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin into the midst of a furnace to blow fire upon it, to melt it, so shall I gather with My wrath and with My fury, and I shall cast you in and melt you.
21And I shall gather you, and I shall blow upon you with the fire of My anger, and you will be melted in its midst.
22As silver is melted in the midst of a furnace, so will you be melted in its midst, and you shall know that I, the Lord, have poured out My fury upon you."

Please don't mind it. It is there in your scripture from the Jewish Bible. Right?

My post count is now 1,234. This is a great day for mankind.

Truthfulness of revelation to Krishna, without specifically mentioning his name, is confirmed by Quran as Quran confirms truthfulness of Buddha, Zoroaster and or Socrates. God sent his messengers/prophets to all the regions of the world.

Stop misrepresenting & appropriating the great minds of other religions & times and trying to force them into your religion to make your beliefs seem legitimate. It's basically stealing.

I don't force anybody. Did I?
Perhaps one means force of argument, reason, signs. Right? Please

Think the Scotsman means mangling the key figures of various traditions into the image of a prophet/promoter of Islam. You really do believe it so it may be hard to understand that for others it is lowly tactics or jamming squares into circular holes.

It's times like this I actively wonder whether your ability to comprehend English is really as poor as it is or if it's a show put on so you can avoid answering things you don't want to. One would think you'd have improved your skill at the language over the time you've spent here.

You must be joking. No, I don't mean "force of argument, reason, signs". I mean you're taking the figures of Zoroastrianism, Buddhism & Classical Greek Philosophy, and trying to say they taught devotion to the god of Islam. They didn't. Ahura Mazda is not Allah; the two could hardly be any more different. Gautama Buddha taught that achieving nirvana, ridding oneself of ego and karma, and breaking the cycle of samsara is a personal journey, that only we can take ultimate responsibility for our own development. Socrates, as a philosopher, expounded on methods of examining the world and what it was made of, as well moral constructs such as the Good and Justice. He almost certainly worshipped the gods of his people, not Allah.

That's it exactly.

Congratulations you have totally dissed Christianity(in particular Jehova Witnesses) and Jews , all in one morning.
Well done.

I think I may asked you before; did you write a book called "How to make friends and influence people".

And Zoroastrianism as well.

 

[Jedster]

I didn't read the whole thread. I accidentally hit this persons post.
If I hadn't met several Ahmadis(including their late Khalifa), I might very well think of them as bigots based on his posts.
In my experience they not.

You get me wrong. Their religions won't flourish.
Jews,Christians, JWs and Zoroastrians etc are my friends. They will join the truthful religion convinced heart and soul, no compulsion.
I have written no book yet. If I write, the first will be on refutation of "God is not great" by Christopher Hitchens. It is easy to refute his shallow arguments.
