All true religions hold some truth.

[Spirit of Light]

But you said all TRUE religions... which indicates that some religions are FALSE. And if god is love and love is god, why do we need the word god?

That is a question i do not have an answer to. I do not know

Not all teaching for every one, that why there are many teaching/religions so every one can find the one they can practice.

Cultivation is the daily practice of a religion.

There are many opinions but one absolute truth. There's no such thing as true for me and true for you.

That is your understanding of it, and that is of course no problem.

What do you think the truth is?

 

[Spirit of Light]

What do you think the truth is?

God, God is light, love, compassion, forberance, trust. And probably a lot more

The Prajapita Brahmakumaris also believe in the unity of all religions and consider them to hold truth though its interpretation may vary due to differences in time and space.

The focus of all religions is the spiritual process to change vice to virtue , hatred to compassion, greed to generosity, selfishness to unselfishness. The productivity of each religion may be gauged by its ability to achieve the above.

Do you agree with faiths who teach that God is holy?

Human beings call God Holy because of their worship of God. I do not see God as a figure like human beings. God in my understanding is the most pure wisdom or truth, far beyond human understanding.

Of course i do not believe i hold a better answer to what God is than others do. All i write in RF is how my understanding is.

The way I understand things is that God not being a figure like human beings and being beyond wisdom and truth is why God is holy. What is your view on faiths that believe in worshipping God? I believe that since God created us, God wants us to have a relationship with Him, similar to a parent wanting a relationship with their kid.

I am open toward all faiths and religions. I have my belief, but can not say what is right for others to believe in no judgment toward others belief

What do you mean by open? One plus one can only equal two. I agree we can't say what other people should believe, that's between them and God.

That would devalue thousands of beliefs. Is it worth devaluing religions to find common ground?

And whose common ground should we go by without compromising someone else's foundation(s) of truth?

To my experience it can be worth exploring different religions (interfaith/interspirituality approach). This doesn't mean I have to abandon or neglect my own rich religious tradition or be a member of different religions at the same time (that's impossible). Right the opposite. Learning about and from others encourages me to know and better understand my own tradition. It can help me see what is really the difference or it can point me to some neglected, less known or forgotten similar aspects in my religion (richness of my own tradition)...

When it comes to different beliefs interfaith also made me more humble and not judge others. If I believe something different that doesn't mean the other belief (or disbelief) is meaningless garbage or brain wash without good reasons to believe.

After some time studying Sufi teachings the understanding of truth beginning to arise, not only from sufi understanding but about that all true religions holds a part of the grand truth.

I am drawn to mystic paths. I have been exploring Meister Eckhart, hesychasm, desert fathers, Jewish mysticism, yoga, Ramakrishna... Sufism is definitely next on my "want to explore list".

Did you know RF have a special DIR for sufi mysticism?

Mystical Sufism DIR

With open i mean, all religions hold truth ( in my understanding) so why would i critique Someone who holds a different belief than i do?

I learned about sufi Dir after i started the sufi journey
My experience with sufism is that it has open my eyes to a whole new world, a New spiritual world i had known about but not seen. Now i see it

Just because they all have true details doesn't mean they are all true. You don't need Buddhism to know that keeping things simple and not desiring things can keep your from fixations.

Well i am not the one who judge what other paths teaching say is true or not. That is up to those who follow those teachings to do i can only judge my own words, action and thoughts
