I would like to enage in a one on one debate on the subject: THE BIBLE SUPPORTS ONLY ONE TRUE RELIGION TODAY. It is necessary that the one who chooses to engage in this discussion believe as I believe that the Bible is the only absolute standard for all religious discussions.

What do you mean, "absolute standard"? IM confused about your wording. Could you mean that all relgious beleifs are integrated into the bible? meaning the opinion that Jesus was given his bd after other religious traditions, or for convience? Or how Jesus's life seem to mimic Buddah in many forms and ways. Or do you meant that the bible is the ONLY TRUTH. The one religious document which speaks reason, where all others fail in error? Or do you mean that in the bible many historic events are recorded, thus telling how the world was created and formed to what it is today, ending at revelations, the end. Tell me more, and we can chat.

I would accept if I knew which Bible you were going to use.

 

[DavyCrocket2003]

I would accept but I also believe in the Book of Mormon. You should check it out and then we'll debate.

The only true religion are IDM, that's "It doesn't matter ism". This religion has only one dogma: "-belive whatever you want, it doesn't matter!" This dogma also force the beliver to accept what one person does belive doesn't need to be anything like what the next person belive. And yes, I made this one up just a few seconds ago but this concept allow for every single religion in existance to fit under the same umberella so to say.

My point is that there are NO religion that are more right then any other, other then for the individual. What is right for me doesn't have to be right for you. Even if IDM are a joke I just made up, it sure isn't as a guideing principle in my life. Respect other peoples belives, and hopefully they will respect yours in return, and if they don't then you have the upper hand on them on the civilization ladder.

i believe that if a person believes in something for their entire lives and in the end they are a better person then what is wrong with?

like buddhaism. buddists acknowledge every other religion as though they could be true and is at peace with nature and the world. whereas some christian faiths believe that anything else is the work of the devil and the devil is apart of their religion.

WTF mate?

Ps. i cant really speel buddhism

Bible was one of the true religion. But from centuries various christian monks changed its content to suit their needs. But Quran is the true book for all of us. It describe's instances without any fuss with examples of events where the other books from god were changed.
But Quran remain the purest of all.

I completely agree with you that there is only one religion for all people in the world. But that is not Christianity, nor Islam, nor Hinduism, nor any other religion of this world. So, what is then that religion I speak about? That is the eternal religion of the soul IOW love of God.

Using the analogy of the sun, we can understand that the sun is not American, Indian, European, African or whatever. The sun is just a one sun for everybody without discrimination. So, same is with God, He is not African, Muslim, Christian, Indian or whatever, nor is He whatever else He is called in other universes. He is free from all material designation and thus above all quarreling of his parts and parcels - the souls that are in this material world. He is equal to all and waits that everybody turn toward Him.

So, there is one religion, the religion of the soul. And there is one God, the God for all living entities. All the living entities should therefor live like one big family by casting aside all their material designations. This is because, just as God is not Hindu, Muslim, Christian etc, all his part and parcels, the souls are also originally free from such material designations.

When one understands the importance of being free from material designation at that time one can transcend the ignorance and passions of this material world living in brotherhood with all living entities and then start the practice of the eternal religion of the soul - awakening one's love of God.

Excellent post.
Most people still need a religion to supply the framework for their belief and lives.even with one common God.

Well, looks like no one is up to the challenge...Pity...I wanted to read about it...

O BECAUSE OF COURSE GOD REQUIRES BELIEF IN HIM, BECAUSE LIKE A HUMAN HE DESIRES RECOGNITION LIKE A CHILD FROM THOSE WHO DONT KNOW OF HIM! AND LIKE A CHILD HE GIVES GET OUT OF JAIL FREE CARDS FOR HIS BELIEVERS.... ONLY ONE PROBLEM GOD IS ABOVE CHILDISIH EMOTIONS!

We seem to have a common assumption in the West that we're all damned. This is not so. We are only in jail until we realize we have created this prison, then we are free. 'Get out free' cards are just another game in our myriad of creations. Who is the child? The one who plays, not knowing it is a game, or the one who knowingly plays it as a game?

Which canon? Which translation? Can we include the Didichae? The gnostic gospels? Thomas? Q? Are we going to be limited to 66 books? Are we allowed to bring in exegetical voices? What is the definition of "religion" to be? What is the nature of "the Bible?" Inerrant, literal word of God, or human account of divine revelation, open to scrutiny and debate? What do you believe about the Bible as an absolute standard?

 

[hanif]

yes there is only one true religion:ISLAM
ALLAH IS ONLY THE GOD
ISLAM IS ONLY THE RELIGION.

 

[jewscout]

yes there is only one true religion:ISLAM

ISLAM IS ONLY THE RELIGION.

i think you'll have some disagreement on that one bub.

God Send Moses And Jesus.and After He Sent Muahmmed As The Last Prophet.
Jewishs Are Wrong Because They Dont Believe Jesus.
And Christians Are Wrong They Said Jesus Is Son Of God.
But There Is No God Except The God.allah

Well thats interesting, the bible according to my knowledge does look like it supports one religion. I look at it this way. Christ set up his church exactly how he wanted it when he was on the earth, prophets, apostles, deacons, priest, all built upon the rock of christ. If christ is perfect then he set up a perfect church. If we stray from that, even just a little bit then the church is no longer perfect and no longer of christ. God said be ye therfore perfect in all things. I would think that he would set up one religion that has all of the exact standards of what he wanted. The church must be perfect to what christ set up.
