Many people do not want to believe in a God who demands righteousness and morality, so they invent a God who makes no such requirements. Many people do not want to believe in a God who declares it impossible for people to earn their own way to heaven. So they invent a God who accepts people into heaven if they have completed certain steps, followed certain rules, and/or obeyed certain laws, at least to the best of their ability. Many people do not want a relationship with a God who is sovereign and omnipotent. So they imagine God as being more of a mystical force than a personal and sovereign ruler. People wants preaching that never confronts their sins.
The existence of so many religions is not an argument against God’s existence or an argument that truth about God is not clear. Rather, the existence of so many religions is demonstration of humanity’s rejection of the one true God. Mankind has replaced Him with gods that are more to their liking. This is a dangerous enterprise. The desire to recreate God in our own image comes from the sin nature within us—a nature that will eventually “reap destruction” (Galatians 6:7-8).
Do all religions lead to God? No. All people—religious or otherwise—will stand before God some day (Hebrews 9:27), but religious affiliation is not what determines your eternal destiny. Only faith in Jesus Christ will save. “Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life” (1 John 5:12). It’s as simple as that. Only Christianity—faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ—leads to God’s forgiveness and eternal life. No one comes to the Father except through the Son (John 14:6). It does make a difference what you believe. The decision to embrace the truth about Jesus Christ is important. Eternity is an awfully long time to be wrong.” END
THIS MIGHT JUST GIVE YOU MORE ANSWERS THAT YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR? DIFFERENT RELIGIONS. ALL RELIGIONS ARE NOT TRUE AND EQUAL.
Feel free to disagree with me but I truly believe every false Religion came from and started with Satan. It started in the garden of Eden when Satan tried to get Adam and Eve to believe his false doctrine and lies about God and believe him. So which Jesus and which God do you follow? Or are you one of those people who make their own Jesus and their own god in their own image? Understand please there is only one true gospel of the salvation of God. Jesus died on an old rugged cross to pay for everyones sins that had separted us from God the father all the way back in the garden of Eden. Our originl parents did that and we all became sinners from birth in need of a savior that could bring us back in relationship and fellowship with God.
CONCLUSION
Here is where the church is today and it is exactly where God told us it would be at His coming. II Timothy Chapter 3. There has been a great, a great shift, away from God. When you fear God “EVERYTHING SHIFTS.” Your whole life moves to and toward God. This world has shifted to the world and too Religions instead of God. Churches have give people just enough Religion to make them feel safe. Moral truth no longer exist even in many churches. They offer a false Gospel that offends no one. They give preaching that never confronts your sins. New modern Christianity that hates the word of God. Romans Chapter chapter 1.
How do you love Jesus? How do you feel? Why are you putting your experiences over Gods Truth? Then they re-design Sin and what it is, to sooth their own conscience. They make sin totally acceptable to everyone and try to take away the consequences of sin. Here is a real question for you. What fire do you follow? Their shift is toward the world, false religions and false doctrines leading people to hell. The sad part is how so called Christians swallow all of this false doctrine from Satan. The real Gospel of Salvation has been perverted, polluted and replaced, in this modern day world.
A Religion without The death, burial and resurrection of Jesus will never give you salvation or get you to heaven. Are you living a life of disobedience to God? For too many disobedience has become their life style while totally ignoring God. And others will believe a gospel that appeases to their flesh, a so called gospel that excudes all sin. It is like a self help philosopy excluding God.
