What Is The True Religion?

Decent Essays
Christianity What is the true religion? Well that is a question that can only be answered once we pass to the other side. If we found the true religion how could it be impacted and what do they follow? What are the mystical traditions of that tradition? Like I said we do not know until we pass to the other side, but I will talk about the religion that is the true religion to me.
What is the goal that Christians look for when they look into god? When Christians look and see god, they do not imagine they are looking at a scripture from the bible.

I follow this religion because I believe it is the right thing to do for myself. I have had several personal encounters that have left me wondering about everything that goes on within me. I believe that it is a true experience and that it cannot be replicated any other way other than to be close to the presence of the holy spirt. At first when I was young I did not know what was going on, I would look at many people and wonder what is wrong with them why are they acting different. These events usually happened when people that came from other areas of the world came to talk about god. I eventually coped with everything that was going on and began to try it myself even though I knew that it was a strange thing for me. When I became “touched” by the Holy Spirit many people react different, some speak in tongues and others fall to the ground. I was one of the ones that fell to the ground and all I could think about was why. I tried this several times and I kept wondering what was happening to me. I could not find any other explanation that to believe in what was happening and that is why I believed and began to follow this religion. I believe that there is something out there that is close to the people of this planet, something that is watching us all and I believe what the people say that one day the son of god will one day come back to this

Christianity is expanding and has a hopeful future. World Christianity did not have a positive future in the start of the 19th century.

    I think I've learned many different things from the readings and the power points that differ from what I initially thought about each of the three monotheistic religions we talked about, and some that remain in line with what I believed or had heard about each of these three religions. I would like to first talk about christianity, I learned a lot about christianity in these last few weeks, things that I,ve never heard of even though I am a christian my self, I am a devoted roman catholic and I myself had a lot of misconceptions about my own religion, just imagine how it went with the other two of the monotheistic religions we talked about in class. For example I had no clue that in the begining of christianity christian had been persecuted, I had no idea I guess I had the common misconseption that most christians have that christianity emerged as apopular religion that grew fast and strong without any oposition.…

    The two religions that I choose are Buddhism and Hinduism. Buddhism is a religion based on the teachings of Gautama. He came to be called the Buddha, which means the “awakened one,” after he experienced a profound realization of the need to understand, death, and existence. The epic story of the birth of the Buddha was that he was conceived without sex; instead, a white elephant carrying a lotus flower entered his mother’s womb during a dream. The God arranged for the Buddha to see 4 sights that inspired Buddha to leave his luxurious life, a person suffering from horrible sickness, a bent old man (ruined by age), a dead person, and a wandering peasant (monk) seeking lasting spiritual satisfaction instead of material happiness.…

    I believe that the three religions should be grouped together as each seems to branch off from the previous religion. Judaism is the oldest of the three and provides a good foundation for the other two. Christianity came second as a branch of Judaism. There are talks of Jesus and Abraham in the Islam religion showing that it is also a branch off of Judaism, however it isn’t tied into Christianity as much. Each of the three religions are monotheistic, they each worship a single god, the same god so it seems.…
