Are we all following a wrong RELIGION in some or the other way?

For a Catholic Christian a Protestant's view is wrong and for a Protestant a Catholic's view is wrong.

Jesuism is different from Christianity. Jesus preached only one religion but we have several 100 denominations.

The same applies for Islam.

Sunnis consider Shia's to be non-muslims and vice versa, while actually there is only form of Islam there are several denominations.

So one or the other way, we all are following a fake religion according to our own mind set.

Right?

    No religion is perfect. It is wrongly understanding some divine revelation or some scripture. This may be a material wrong or a minor one.

    Your statement implies that wrongs are all equal or a small bit of wrong makes the entirety wrong. That is not the most people look at things when evaluating a religion to help them in their journey through life.

    Baptism removes original sin (Adam and Eve eating the forbidden fruit) and other sins.

    Confession and drinking blood of Jesus remove sins.

    Jesus taught one gospel one faith in HIm as the Christ the Son of God and give eternal life to all who believe in him. Even in the 1st century John made it clear in the letters to the 7 churches that each church had their own doctrine and practices and they were not commented on as a whole but as individuals. Also look at 1st Corinthians as Paul was writing about divisions and some were saying they were of Paul, or Appolos, or of Peter. Pauls answer was not we are all of Jesus and Peter is the Pope. He pointed back to the messenger is nothing and the message of Jesus is everything and that all of these men were working together for the common faith.

    So what is the source of the many divisions? At every possible intersection you can go more than one way. So for every intersection that there is disagreement some will go one way and others wont. If you multiply the vast amounts of theological issues on the map we see a great potential for variety of beliefs all based on the same scriptures. One once said unity in the essentials and grace in all else.

    for instance i am a pretribulational millenialist. I believe in the rapture prior to the 7 year tribulation which ends at the return of Jesus to set up a kingdom of Jesus ruling and reigning from Jerusalem with the saints who are risen to rule over those who survived the tribulation. Many others believe all of these events happened in 70 AD and the return of Jesus is at the very end and when he returns we can see the new heaven and earth. In this instance the Catholic church holds my view heretical. I can debate very clearly from the scriptures my point of view and this collides with the traditions. So many protestants hold varying beliefs on this single issue. I think they are important enough that I would not go to a church that taught otherwise but I would still call those who love the Lord and believe differently brothers in Christ.

    When I was a kid and we played battle games one kid would say I am knifeproof, another I am bulletproof, and another I am fireproof till one would say I am everything proof. The Catholic church teaches that they are everything proof with the doctrine of infallibility. I do not think the teaching of unity is intended for us to believe in such a power. The letters to the 7 churches demonstrate that there was no central unity in belief, practices and authority. There are more rebukes than positive things said and this is the 1st century. We need to read the word and walk in the Spirit and love one another and contend for the the faith rightly dividing the word of truth.

    All religions have a degree of truth in them since it is inconceivable that someone in their right mind knowingly follows a false religion. Since, not all religions are the same the most reasonable conclusion is that there is one religion that has the greatest degree of truth.

    Jesus claimed equality with God.

    Then He said that if you REALLY want to know if His teachings came from God (implying the existence of said God), then "OBEY THESE COMMANDS (follow these instructions), and you SHALL know (one way OR the other)" (Referring to the Sermon on the Mount, beginning in the 5th chapter of the gospel according to Matthew)

    This is an objective "litmus" test that Jesus gave, and He said nothing at all about having faith or believing. If you really want to know if Jesus really IS the Son of God (the God who is there), (er – DO you really want to know?) then read and obey the Sermon on the Mount.

    If Jesus never existed, then nothing will happen.

    If Jesus was a liar, then nothing will happen.

    If Jesus was a lunatic, then nothing will happen.

    If the Bible is nothing more than the writings of some crazy bronze-aged, goat-herding cave men as the atheist mockers keep insisting, then nothing at all will happen.

    For anyone who flat out rejects this test, I have to remind them of some other words Jesus said. Jesus said that the reason people reject God is “because they are evil (their deeds are evil), and they love darkness (i.e. they love their sins and immorality), and they hate the light (i.e. they hate Truth)!” The only reason they don't believe in God is because they don't WANT to believe in God, and for no other reason, their mind is set in concrete, and their theme song is "Don't confuse me with Truth; my mind's already made up!"

    In his famous book “Mere Christianity”, C. S. Lewis makes the following observation: “I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: ‘I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God.’ That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic--on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg--or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great moral teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to."
