I'm not sure why it seems so unclear to you, only the religion based on the bible declares there is only one God, and He is the creator of everything we see, look around do you see any design in creation, is there evidence of design, that is the real question, if there is evidence of design then its obvious there is a designer and only the God of the bible makes the claim as being the designer, that narrows your picks down to about three Judiasm, Christianity.....Islam doesn't reconize the bible as true so their out.......now the whole bible is a testimony about God trying to reconcile humanity back into a place of good standing and relationship with Him, It is all about the Messiah who will come to reconcile man back to God......Judiasm rejects the Messiah Jesus and are still looking for their Messiah. Jesus came and reconciled man back to God, by making Himself the sacrifice for all our sins, since He rose from the dead and was witnessed by hundreds, He said He would come again, but first a terrible ruler will come first he will say he is God and will do amazing things even calling fire down from heaven, most of the world will be deceived, probably most of the Jews will think this is their Messiah, he will even stand in their rebuilt temple and declare that he is God. Then signs in heaven will be seen, the moon will turn red, and the sun will not give its light, and stars will be seen falling from the sky in record numbers, after this happens Jesus will return and destroy everything that stands against Him, it will be very important that you chose sides before He gets here as there will be eternal consequences for what side your found onCurrently this is how I see religion at the moment:
If there is a god why does he make it so hard for anybody to know which religion is his. There is no hard proof. All you can do is put faith into words that were written centuries ago. This is what I don't get, if God is all loving, caring and powerful why is it so unclear if he is even real. Seeing as all of mankind's eternal sole is at stake here, you think God would make it clear to us all.

the quran has 0 prophecy, the bible predicts and tells the future, the quran follows the linage of Ishmael Abrahams son with Hagar his concubine, God told Abraham the covenant people would be through his wife Sara and her son Isaac........the bible prophetically described how Israel would reject the Messiah, and its a good thing they did, because of their rejection God made it possible for a people who were not His people to receive salvation, but God has kept a remnant of His people, 12 thousand from each tribe, and since Jesus is King of the Jews, and will be known as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, His people will once again be held in high regard. Ever wonder why the whole world seems to revolve around the tiny nation of Israel and the control of the tiny town of Jerusalem..........In reference to nations and cities, they are hardly a dot on the map.....yet the bible says Israel and Jerusalem are the center stage for everything that is yet to unfold......and it will unfold just as everything it has declared has unfolded, we were told Israel would return to their land and nobody will be able to remove them once they return
Hi Birthew, this is a topic I've recently learned to understand better. Jesus Christ was a real man who came in the flesh at a time when the majority of people were illiterate so word spread by way of rumors. There were a few disciples of Jesus' who knew the first hand truth of these rumors, so they wrote their knowledge officially by pen and ink. Remember there was no printing press in those days, so when someone wanted a copy of the gospel they would need to copy by hand using pen and ink. The gospels survived 1,500 years like this! Also, Paul wrote some letters to various churches and they too were preserved by hand copying, and then when William Tyndale printed the Bible on the printing press and suddenly the protestant church evolved as the literate were able to have ready access to the scriptures. Now, you are comparing this to the Qur'an which was dictated by an angel to the prophet Muhammad. To compare the two is comparing apples to oranges. Either way you have to decide whether you trust what an angel says has happened or what a human says he has seen. That's how I've come to understand it, but by far the strongest testimony I have is that of the Holy Spirit, which Jesus gave me when I decided to follow Him.
I'm sorry but to me, they all seem the same. This is a problem. Why does not God fix it?
I have no idea. I bet I can guess your going to tell me its Christianity right?
