What do you think of other religions?

Goodhuman · Aug 11, 2020

I have seen pagan witches who pretend to be spiritual, but want only evil things to happen to you.
I have seen christians who pretend to be good but want to marry president.
I have seen christian pastors who pretend to be advanced in spirituality and even call falsely themselves priests but all their heart is pure hate against neighbour.
So it is not so ok to judge based on religion.

Obviously, all non-Christian religions are wrong.

People of any religion can be hypocrites. Not really news.

Religion is a response to the Almighty and He should always be the focus. It is his delight or anger with us that matters. Only Jesus saves but in practice peoples actual religion is a mix of falsities and truthes. Many Western Christians can mouth the correct formulas but do not care for the poor or the exile or the sick or the old. They care more for their bank accounts than their fellowman. They commit adultery,divorce, practice gay sex or aboŕt their babies. While many Muslims are faithful partners, celebrate God as Creator and Judge and want to talk about him

All theistic religions share one common truth, which is "God exists, and His name is God"

False.

The first part might be true of monotheistic religions, but monotheistic religions differ in their understanding of who God is.

And Christianity does not teach that the name of God is "God."

Don't confuse spiritual with good.
On one side there is God and his angels and on the other are the fallen angels or demons. The spiritual realm contains both good and evil.

They want to marry the president? Sorry is that some kind of typo?

Anything other than Christ crucified is an attempt by the fallen angels to lead people astray.
And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. 2 Cor:11:14

The number of Gods is 1, so the word God is a unique identifier of God. Moreover, there is the commandment: "do not use God's name in wane". Thus, forbidden to use the word God outside of its meaning.

There is something good to be found in virtually every religion. For instance, some version of the "golden rule" can be found in most major religions.

Golden Rule - Wikipedia

God is soveriegn not only over Christians or Jews, but over all humanity. All things were created through Christ, so it shouldn't be surprising to find some goodness in all forms of religion, even if they miss the mark as to their object(s) of worship.

I think the key for Christians is to embody the grace, love, and goodness of Christ in such a way that it, by far, exceeds any goodness found in other religions. In other words, we should be living examples of the surpassing truth of Christ.

The Bible itself doesn't follow your "rule."

The Bible is subject to interpretation.

i would say all religions share one common lie, which is they believe in a God who is separate from them

In the Old Testament, God says that His name is יהוה (YHWH).

Christianity is the one true religion; you are misrepresenting Christianity.

a) YHWH is not a name
b) religion is a coming to God by steps which Christianity teaches
