How many religions are there?

[kjw47]

I already know this. Thank you though.
It goes deeper than that though. What is the rational basis of assuming that the path you walk is the narrow one, that your scripture is the right scripture, or that Jesus ever really spoke those words for that matter?

Jesus truths prove who is who--Faith. and years of study with different religions.

 

[kjw47]

Many religions would be many paths. What is the most broad and spacious path in the world?

Would seem like the large, spacious path would be the largest religion...Christianity.

I agree--Jesus started 1 single religion--it died after the apostles and Christians were all murdered. But here in these last days--Jesus appointed his real teachers( faithful and discreet slave) otherwise these two truths couldnt be true--Daniel 12:4--John 4:22-24=Jehovah.

 

[kjw47]

Why all the song and dance?
Why don't you skip all the riddles and other bull **** and just tell the forum which of the 10,000+ denominations of Christianity is the one true god approved version?

The only one earth who actually teach Jesus truiths and get them deep into each ones heart--- as well as every utterance from God as Jesus taught each needs to live by daily. Jesus religion died after the apostles and followers were all murdered back then--not until these last days did Jesus appoint his faithful and discreet slave( real teachers--otherwise these two truths couldn't be a reality--Daniel 12:4--John 4:22-24=Jehovah.

I can't say how faithful Jehovah's Witnesses are to their God, but I will say they are anything but discreet.

Jesus started 1 single religion

Actually, if you read what he said about himself, as opposed to what people said about him years later, he didn't start a religion at all. He claimed to be the Jewish messiah.

Personally, I'd say there are two kinds of religion:
1. Paganism, which grew up naturally throughout the world, as people reacted to their religious experiences.
2. Invented religions, produced by people who thought they'd have a revelation (e.g. Muhammad) or who thought they knew better than others (e.g. Buddha). There are about a dozen of those and, since they all contradict each other, only one could be true. That means that the odds against any of them being true are worse than 10 to 1.

Jesus gave Israelites every opportunity to make corrections--they refused--he stopped attending synagogues and taught new teachers( apostles) to teach his flock--truth.
Even in Rev it talks about 7 congregations--not synagogues--the Israelites are cut off( Matt 23:37-38) It was given to what the bible calls--Israel, but its spiritual Israel--carrying the meaning--Gods chosen-Matt 21:43)

Even the Pharisees called Jesus new religion--a sect( cult)
Saul was a Pharisee-- he had great passion for the Israelite religion--he was a tormenter of Jesus followers until Jesus appeared to him in a vision, then he turned and followed Jesus and had great zeal to carry on the work--he went through hell per-se to do it.

YES!!! He did not come to start a new religion but to clean up the old one and offer God's people an opportunity to become "a kingdom of priests and a holy nation" as God had promised. But the conditions of the contract (covenant) were that Israel was to "strictly obey" God's voice, through his prophets. Jehovah lived up to his end of the agreement, but the Jews could not resist falling into the trap of false worship and man-made tradition.

Jesus told them what would happen because he could see their response to his ministry. He lamented...."Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling. 38 Behold, your house is being left to you desolate! 39 For I say to you, from now on you will not see Me until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’”

When Israel failed to fill the ranks of the kingdom heirs, God turned to the gentiles to take their place.
"Simeon has related how God first concerned Himself about taking from among the Gentiles a people for His name."

God's people have always been associated with YHWH (Jehovah)

Personally, I'd say there are two kinds of religion:

Are we left to flounder then, as so many seem to be doing? NO!

There are only two kinds of people in the world according to Jesus..."sheep and goats" one will gain life and the other death. We choose what road we travel...there are only two of those as well, same destinations....so how we make our choice comes from who we really are. Either we will be invited to come to God or we will not. (John 6:44)

God is choosing the citizens of his kingdom very carefully....none who are stubborn, selfish or who want to dictate their own terms (like satan) will be found there. It's really that simple. The easiest people on this planet to fool is ourselves. God knows who we are and whether he wants us in his kingdom. Sadly the majority are on the wrong road and will disqualify themselves. (Matt 7:13, 14, 21-23)

Who can they blame?

I was going down the main page--wow--this world is very confused--Jesus started 1 single religion--That is all God had in the ot--1 single religion. Why would there be more? One truth, one faith, one God, one religion--- this world is in trouble-2Cor 4:4

All institutionalized Religions have failed. Hence the world is in trouble because they say so. Maybe the world is fine and the institutional Religions are in Trouble...1 Awoon 1

You did not answer the question.
Not that anyone is surprised.

Perhaps when your faith becomes strong enough to actually back up your bold empty claims instead of hiding behind your gods skirts....

I listen to the Jehovah witnesses--the only ones on earth who are like the Boreans and keep on making sure of all things--when they find error-they correct it. Not one JW would know if something was error, so by being like the Boreans and correcting error when found--proves Gods truth is what they seek. The rest teach--schooled in the schools of men' dogma. never correcting.

so why all the beating around the bush before declaring your favourite version the one true god approved version?

OASN:
Care to support your claim that the Jehovah's Witness is the one true god approved version?
And no, the Bible ain't gonna get it done.
Wonder why?
Because all the other versions make the same exact claim.
So all you are going to be doing using the Bible is show how the Jehovah's Witness beleives differently based upon their various interpretations of the Bible.

I am not interested in the differences.
I am interested in you showing that your favourite version is the one true god approved version.

Facts--- from Moses on up, every Israelite who served the true God, serve-YHWH(Jehovah) a single being mono God--so all trinity religions are false--that leaves--Unitarians, Mormons-JW,s.
Fact--in every synagogue from day 1--they teach--YHWH(Jehovah) a single being mono God--taught to--Matthew,Mark, Luke, John, Peter and Jesus while he attended--not once ever refuted by one of them.

Fact--Jesus and the apostles started a new religion( the way)--the pharisees called it a sect( cult)
Fact--They serve the God Israel served, but as well accept Jesus as the Messiah---- Unitarian, Mormon, Or JW,s are the only ones left.
I know I chose correct--no one can choose for you but you.

I can't say how faithful Jehovah's Witnesses are to their God, but I will say they are anything but discreet.

The FDS are.

You are right--and the facts of history--show with 0 doubt--every trinity religion is serving a non existent god, making them false.

fact--From Moses on up, every Israelite who ever served the true God--served YHWH(Jehovah) a single being mono God.

Fact in every synagogue from day 1--they taught--a single being mono God named-YHWH(Jehovah)--taught to Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Peter, and Jesus--not 1 ever refuted that God--They taught that God--John 20:17, Rev 3:12--2Cor 1:3, 1Cor 8:6, 1Cor 15:24-28--1Peter 1:3--John at Rev 1:6--many other spots--its the #1 teaching in the nt--Jesus has a God-his Father--this is the only true God--John 4:22-24.

In the way the President's speechwriters are, or in which Generals are. Not sure if it fits either way.

I sincerely hope you can do better than merely arbitrarily declaring random statements as facts.

undeniable facts of history--the jewish teachers have been telling the trinities they are serving a non existent god for the last 1700 years.
The JW teachers tell them the same.
Jesus and his real nt teachers are 100% in agreement--Jesus has a God-his Father--- Jesus)John 20:17, Rev 3:12--- Paul) 2Cor 1:3,, 1Cor 8:6, 1Cor 15:24-28--- 1Peter v1:3--- John)Rev 1:6.--- because its fact.

Exposing the trinities as false( I believe its why both groups were thrown in the concentration camps and annihilated)
