how do you know you religion is the only true one?

“with the aid of the sky which returns.” (Quran 86:11) “[He] who made for you the earth a mattress [spread out] and the sky a ceiling…” (Quran 2:22) within the first verse God swears with the aid of the sky[1] and its function of ‘returning’ without specifying what it ‘returns.’ In Islamic doctrine, a divine oath signifies the magnitude of importance of a specific relation to the Creator, and manifests His majesty and the supreme truth in a distinctive manner. The 2d verse describes the Divine Act that made the sky a ‘ceiling’ for the dwellers of earth. Let us see what present day atmospheric science has to say about the position and function of the sky. The surroundings is a word which denotes all of the air surrounding the earth, from the ground all the method up to the brink from which area begins. The surroundings is composed of a couple of layers, every defined considering the fact that of the various phenomena which occur inside the layer. The science of latest cosmology, observational and theoretical, certainly suggests that, at one factor in time, the whole universe used to be nothing however a cloud of ‘smoke’ (i.E. An opaque particularly dense and scorching gaseous composition).[1] This is without doubt one of the undisputed standards of general trendy cosmology. Scientists now can notice new stars forming out of the remnants of that ‘smoke’ (see figures 1 and 2).

Omg, I've asked this so many times on Y!A... even when I asked in a peaceful way, and offered solutions that revolved around tolerance of others and overemphasis of one's own beliefs, they EXPLODED!

Either that, or they start quoting the Bible... which they don't realize is as effective as quoting any other religious document (aka it's not even a valid argument)

I grew up with a Jewish mother and Catholic father. There's no way I can possibly think that one side is right and one side is wrong - or that EITHER are the one true way! I think religion is something that brings people together, but shouldn't be the *only* thing... and it shouldn't be self-serving and bigoted, either. Which is mostly is, sadly. =\

There is no truth in any religion. It is all up to the individual as to what they want to believe. The bible, scriptures and so on, by reading those does not tell you the facts. Like reading a novel. There is no truth or proof in what you read. No harm in believing but never tell people that your religion is in fact the true religion because there isn't any. I am a Pagan but I don't go telling others to read up on it because there is some form of truth in it. It is my choice and I keep it to myself. My faith makes me feel comfortable and that is all to it.

Why believe in Christianity over all other religions?

Critics often ask why Christianity is any better than any other religion in the world. Of all the religions that exist, how can it be that only Christianity is true? If God exists, why can't God use different religions? Don't all paths lead to God? Skeptics ask these kinds of questions all the time, and unfortunately, few Christians have the answers. Therefore, in an attempt to demonstrate why Christianity is true and all other religious systems are false, I've prepared the following list of reasons for Christianity's superiority.

There are such things as absolute truths

If truth is relative, then the statement that truth is relative is an absolute truth and would be a self-defeating statement by proving that truth is not relative. But, if truth is absolute, then the statement "truth is absolute" is true and not self-defeating. It is true that truth exists. It is true that truth will not contradict itself as we have just seen. In fact, it is absolutely true that you are reading this paper.

If we can see that there is such a thing as truth in the world, then we could also see that there can be spiritual truth as well. It is not absurd to believe in spiritual absolutes anymore than physical or logical absolutes. Even the statement that all religions lead to God is a statement held to be a spiritual absolute by many people. This simply demonstrates that people do believe in spiritual truth. Why? Because truth exists. However, not all that is believed to be true actually is true. Furthermore, all belief systems cannot be true since they often contradict each other in profound ways -- and truth is not self-contradictory.

Religions contradict each other; therefore, they cannot all be true.

Mormonism teaches that there are many gods in existence, and that you can become a god. Christianity teaches that there is only one God, and you cannot become a god. Islam teaches that Jesus is not God in flesh, where Christianity does. Jesus cannot be both God and not God at the same time. Some religions teach that we reincarnate, while others do not. Some teach there is a hell, and others do not. They cannot all be true. If they cannot all be true, it cannot be true that all religions lead to God. Furthermore, it means that some religions are, at the very least, false in their claims to reveal the true God (or gods). Remember, truth does not contradict itself. If God exists, He will not institute mutually exclusive and contradictory belief systems in an attempt to get people to believe in Him. God is not the author of confusion (1 Cor. 14:33). Therefore, it is reasonable to believe that there can be an absolute spiritual truth, and that not all systems can be true regardless of whether or not they claim to be true. There must be more than a mere claim.

Fulfilled Prophecy concerning Jesus

Though there are other religions that have prophecies in them, none are 100% accurate as is the Bible, and none of them point to someone like Jesus who made incredible claims and performed incredible deeds. The Old Testament was written hundreds of years before Jesus was born, yet the Old Testament prophesied many things about Jesus. This is undoubtedly evidence of divine influence upon the Bible. by Matt Slick

god tells me

no all religions do not ave the same evidence

god is not a delusion

of course god told me works

just because you will not accept that answer does not mean were wrong

its your foolish reasoning that is the problem

I can understand the confusion. There is more 2000 religions in the US alone. They all can't be right. There is either right or wrong, yes or no, no in betweens. The best thing for you to do is examine the scriptures closely so you can determine for yourself the true religion. Jesus told us what to look for and what to pray for in his sermon on the mount. (Matthew 6:9) Also ask yourself these questions:

(1)base teachings on the Bible? "all scriptures is inspired of God (2Tim. 3:16,17)

(2) show genuine love for one another? "by this all will know that you are my disciples if you have love among yourselves (John 13:35)

(3) accept Jesus as God's means of salvation? " not another name under heaven....by which we must get saved (Acts 4:12)

(4) are no part of the world? "the world has hated them, because they are no part of the world, just as I am no part of the world. (John 17:14)

(5) preach God's kingdom as man's only hope? "this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth (Matthew 24:14)

(6) worship only Jehovah and make his name known? "it is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service (Mattew 4:10)

Apparently every religion is the true one, since they all say that about their religion.

That is how politicians are, only their party is the truth and honest party for the people and that is why they are the lawmakers.

Because we follow the Holy Bible.
