rexben:
No religion of the world is created or founded by God. All are manmade.
Come out of every religion and follow Jesus. He is the way to the Father. Religion, not even Christianity can't take you to God.
Christianity presents itself to be presenting God but they can't.
Only Jesus represented God and He asked people to follow His footsteps.
Once again, quit religion
really.!? so hw can u follow Jesus wen u are not Christ like (because following Jesus means adhering to his teachings n d teachings of his Father Jehovah n dis is d hallmark of TRUE Christian) in 1513bce God formed a religion with d nation of Israel dats y he gave them yes only them his laws n commandments to follow.

I know what you are thinking, "my religion is the right one!"

Well, that is what the adherents of other religions also say and there are 4,199, excluding yours, of them



As you can see, the odds are not in your favour undecided

Let us also put into consideration that there 7 versions of hell, ie 7 religions who also have hell (aside from yours),



the odds are still not in your favor.

But there is hope! cheesy

This thread aims at helping you identify if your religion is wrong as to as ensure you make the right choice and not end up in the real hell wink

In no particular order, here are common signs you can use in detecting if your religion is the true one and also help you identify the true religion if you happen to come across it.

Please note that the true religion will not have any of these traits. smiley

1) Your "holy" book has lots of contradictions: Let us assume for instance that you are about to purchase a maths textbook for your kid, or for yourself, and on the first page you see "1+1=11", wouldn't this be enough to make you feel skeptical? Now, let us further imagine that you turn to the next page and the next and the next and keep seeing contradictions, would you still buy the book and even, in obvious stupidity, go around telling people that 1+1=11? undecided

If your "holy" book has these contradictions, it would be wise to throw it in the trash can. This is an obvious sign that your religion is false.

In order find out if your "holy" book fits into this category, it would be advisable that you read it on your own. Do not rely on heresay, your pastor, imam, holy junkie to read and interpret it on your behalf. Pick it up and read it for yourself angry

God will be proud of you smiley

2) You find a hard time explaining your religion to other people: Whenever someone else asks you "why" about your religious teachings you seem to find it difficult explaining it to them. No matter how hard and long you try to explain, you always seem to end up at a dead end. Most times, your religious teachings just do not make enough sense when you try explaining it to someone else.

Honestly, if your religion was from the one true "God", it wouldn't be that difficult to explain, now would it? undecided

Afterall, God is not one of confusion. smiley

3) Your religion seems to be plagiarized from other older religions: This one is a hard one to notice especially if you do not have adequate knowledge of other religions. If your religion has similar stories from other older religions then your religion is obviously fake. Afterall, God doesn't copy and paste. smiley

To verify this, you would have to read up on ancient religions and point out the similarities with yours. If there are any, your religion is false.

www.google.com is a good place to start. And it's FREE! grin

4) You are required to believe without evidence and only faith : So, you want to buy a house and the real estate manager tells you that the house is beautiful and gives you all the specs of the house but tells you that you cannot see the house but that all you have to do is believe the house is there and make payment for the house, will you pay? undecided

Now, apply this analogy to your faith. If someone tells you to believe whatever it is they are talking about without any proof, my bro/sis, na bobo. Pure scam. Do not risk eternity for such vague and unverifiable promises sad

5) You have never seen your God: Your God seems to be invincible, no one has ever seen it, or you have to carve stones and sticks just to see it then your God is nothing but a project of someone else's imagination. As beautiful and magnificent as the sun is we all see it. If your god was so real we would see it. Trust me, god would have no reason to play hide and seek.

6) Your god's characteristics contradicts itself: Your god is omnipresent but was not there when the first sin took place to prevent it. Your god is omniscient but created the devil to deceive people knowing very well they will end up in hell eventually. Your god is all loving but threatens people to love it or face eternal torture, damnation and barbecue in hell. That is not unconditional love. To know the meaning of the word unconditional, check it yourself @ www.dictionary.com. It is free. smiley

7) Your god needs to be worshiped: Even to the extent of threatening to burn you in hell if you don't. Seriously? God that created everything needs you, a human who happens to be infinitesimal in the grand scheme of the universe, just to feel funky? undecided If your god is truly great, it wouldn't need to servitude and slavery. These are human cravings, not that of a supreme being. sad

cool Your god supports slavery, discrimination and genocide: Just look into your holy book. If there are pages where these things are supported then your god is actually a psychopath and if you eventually see it, take it to a psychiatric hospital angry

9) No one has ever seen the hell or heaven of your religion: This one is kinda tricky because every religion that has hell and heaven also have adherents who have "died" and seen these places. Christians have died and seen Jesus and Jehovah so have Muslims who have died and see Allah and their future 72 virgin wives wink , Buddhists too etc.

Even you can deduce that there is something fishy here. Did they really see heaven or hell or just projections of their imaginations or are they just plain old lying? lipsrsealed

10) There is no where in your holy book where your god refers itself as the god of your people: God of the Ibos? God of the Yorubas? God of the hausas? God of Africans? Have you ever heard your god refer to itself as the god of your people?

I doubt that. It is either it is god of israel or god of arabs of god of indians etc.

If your god is like this then be certain it is not a true god because a true god will not be tribalistic or take sides. After all, it did create everyone, didn't it? undecided

11) You do not know anyone personally that has been healed miraculously by your god: And neither have you. All the "testimonies" are always in church, mosque, radio, tv, blogs, websites but never to you or people around you. You know a crippled in your area but no pastor or imam has ever been able to heal that person just out of the goodness of their heart. Very suspicious I say undecided

12) Your god always needs money: Your pastor says you need money to build a house for god(as if spirits need to live in houses undecided ) or that it needs money before healing you or providing any of it's other services like granting you a job, giving you a wife/husband, kids etc. It sha needs tithes and offering EVERY TIME. I mean how hard can it be for god to make money? Didn't it create everything?

A side effect of this is that the pastors, imams and spiritual junkies who collect these tithes on behalf of your god always seem to wear the finest clothes, ride the best cars, send their kids to the best schools(which 80% of the congregation cannot afford) and enjoy all the canal things of earth while you wait for paradise in heaven. Nigu undecided

I will stop here for now. But these tips should be enough to guide you and help you avoid following the wrong religion, finding the right one and not ending up in hell. smiley

And they keep bleating and belting out the tripe that Christianity is not a religion but a relationship with God. What is religion if not a way to relate to any of the number of gods men have set up for themselves? A Muslim relates to Allah through Islam, a Jew with Hashem through Judaism, an Hindu with Brahma through Hinduism, a Shintoist with any of the ancestral gods through shintoism. Ssssshhh! Christianity is a religion, a toxic religion and the singular evidence I'd give for this assertion is the fact that it has a book called the Bible. Pray tell me, you who say it is not a religion, do you relate with your friends, your father, your mother, brothers and sisters through a book? If it is not a religion why do you have churches, why do you have Pastors and Bishops and Teachers and Evangelist to interprete God to you through a book? Does the Sun need interpretation? If Christianity is not a religion, I dare that God who spoke in the Bible, who spoke to inanimate matter (let there be light) who spoke from the first page of the Bible to the last to speak verbally to the congregants in church so that all can hear him at once without the need for interpretation. Before you go all spiritual on me remember your God is not like the idols who have mouth but cannot speak, surely he is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. I do not ask for miracles or omens or signs and wonders. Only just this simple act: let him speak audibly and verbally. If he can give his most precious son to die for our sins then surely for him to speak to one and all should be very easy, very very easy. For the record I believe there's a God but I must admit that I do not know him. The God of the Bible is a Jewish fraud and a gross hoax. That God does not exist except in the pages of the Bible where is he very active- killing, pillaging, destroying, speaking, commanding and constantly interfering - and in the imagination of the believing brains of Christians. Go read Thomas Paine 'The Age of Reason'.

Why not Mohammed, Buddha, Osiris, Sango, Amadioha, Zoroaster, etc ?
What is unique about Jesus?
What proof do you have of he ever existing in the first place?

The proof is everywhere, you cannot go through a day without referring to Jesus, imagine the date you use, 2016 AD, 1005 BC. How is that for a proof!

At least, one muslim in maturity even tried responding the OP but with Islam that one is Dead on Arrival. We know what Islam teaches to do to Apostates, we know how rabid they get over a mere picture of Mo..d lending 100% credence to what the OP is all about.

Now, apply this analogy to your faith. If someone tells you to believe whatever it is they are talking about without any proof, my bro/sis, na bobo. Pure scam. Do not risk eternity for such vague and unverifiable promises sad

5) You have never seen your God: Your God seems to be invincible, no one has ever seen it, or you have to carve stones and sticks just to see it then your God is nothing but a project of someone else's imagination. As beautiful and magnificent as the sun is we all see it. If your god was so real we would see it. Trust me, god would have no reason to play hide and seek.

6) Your god's characteristics contradicts itself: Your god is omnipresent but was not there when the first sin took place to prevent it. Your god is omniscient but created the devil to deceive people knowing very well they will end up in hell eventually. Your god is all loving but threatens people to love it or face eternal torture, damnation and barbecue in hell. That is not unconditional love. To know the meaning of the word unconditional, check it yourself @ www.dictionary.com. It is free. smiley

7) Your god needs to be worshiped: Even to the extent of threatening to burn you in hell if you don't. Seriously? God that created everything needs you, a human who happens to be infinitesimal in the grand scheme of the universe, just to feel funky? undecided If your god is truly great, it wouldn't need to servitude and slavery. These are human cravings, not that of a supreme being. sad

cool Your god supports slavery, discrimination and genocide: Just look into your holy book. If there are pages where these things are supported then your god is actually a psychopath and if you eventually see it, take it to a psychiatric hospital angry

9) No one has ever seen the hell or heaven of your religion: This one is kinda tricky because every religion that has hell and heaven also have adherents who have "died" and seen these places. Christians have died and seen Jesus and Jehovah so have Muslims who have died and see Allah and their future 72 virgin wives wink , Buddhists too etc.

Even you can deduce that there is something fishy here. Did they really see heaven or hell or just projections of their imaginations or are they just plain old lying? lipsrsealed

10) There is no where in your holy book where your god refers itself as the god of your people: God of the Ibos? God of the Yorubas? God of the hausas? God of Africans? Have you ever heard your god refer to itself as the god of your people?

I doubt that. It is either it is god of israel or god of arabs of god of indians etc.

If your god is like this then be certain it is not a true god because a true god will not be tribalistic or take sides. After all, it did create everyone, didn't it? undecided

11) You do not know anyone personally that has been healed miraculously by your god: And neither have you. All the "testimonies" are always in church, mosque, radio, tv, blogs, websites but never to you or people around you. You know a crippled in your area but no pastor or imam has ever been able to heal that person just out of the goodness of their heart. Very suspicious I say undecided

12) Your god always needs money: Your pastor says you need money to build a house for god(as if spirits need to live in houses undecided ) or that it needs money before healing you or providing any of it's other services like granting you a job, giving you a wife/husband, kids etc. It sha needs tithes and offering EVERY TIME. I mean how hard can it be for god to make money? Didn't it create everything?

A side effect of this is that the pastors, imams and spiritual junkies who collect these tithes on behalf of your god always seem to wear the finest clothes, ride the best cars, send their kids to the best schools(which 80% of the congregation cannot afford) and enjoy all the canal things of earth while you wait for paradise in heaven. Nigu undecided

I will stop here for now. But these tips should be enough to guide you and help you avoid following the wrong religion, finding the right one and not ending up in hell. smiley

Reinvented:

Yes. Jesus came to abolish religion. More reason they crucified him. Christianity is not a religion. The term Christians did not originate from Jesus neither from the Bible, rather people who sought to identify the followers of Christ named them Christians (Acts 11:26).

Religion is burdensome with blind following. For example, you must perform some ritualist activities or obligation daily. Weekly, monthly,etc. Observe moon, sun, stars, etc. Wear certain dresses that arguably were worn by the initiators of the religion. Sometimes these dress were worn because of their weather conditions. Just imagine how foolish it would be for an Eskimo to wear a flowing gown.

Religion encourages you to defend your God or fight for him, kill for him, etc which is at variance with his avowed power to protect you.


Tell all that to the Christians today especially in Africa. Whichever way you elect to disguise or sugar coat it, Christianity as always and worldwide today is classified under the umbrella of religion.
Is Christianity with its tainted image now trying to avoid the avarice of been a religion?
No siree, can't eat your cake and have it.

Tell it to the religious church goers, the ritualistic night vigil initiates, the noise polluting peace disturbing apostolic churches, the embassies, 'the synagogue', the 'whiners', the unredeemed, the COGs, and the rest of the herd.

Do show where it's so stated in clear terms without further interpretation that Jesus came to abolish religion.

To my understanding his mission was love.


Call a spade a spade.
Christianity is a religion moreso from your above description.
I find Christianity and it's adherents especially as practiced in Nigeria to be selfish, unloving, immoral, unethical, unlawful, callous, nauseating, despicable, irritating, negatively provoking, insulting, criminal, fraudulent, lost, recreational, a vexation to the spirit........FAKE! I admonish ALL religions with a passion.


Besides Whichever way you choose to perceive or name it, Christianity religion or not, as practiced falls under the canopy of the op's descriptions.

Period!

You can take that to the bank or the pulpit!!!

I have seen miraculous healing! Asthma of 24 years varnished at a word from A Man of God... This was to a close friend.#

Say what you like, but my God is REAL!

Expecting such miracles to be replicated everywhere hapharzardly will be turning God into an agent of confusion, who disobeys his own rules.

atheism has been on the up recently, but wouldn't it just be better to practice your unbelief in your closet? The average African has seen enough of supernatural manifestations(good and evil) to know that there are powerful extra_terrestial forces at work in the world. I could relay PERSONAL testimonies, but would they help? Atheists appear some of the world's most ignorant lot, cos if they read more, they will know all these. Heard of UFOs, for instance? There's so much more that science still grapples to comprehend...Does that make them non-existent?
Re: How To Know If Your Religion Is The Fake One! by Nobody: 6:59am On Oct 06, 2016
You say there is no proof that Jesus doesn't exist, Agreed. But why do you boarder yourself so much abt something that never exist? Couldn't it just be a waste of time? Brother I encourage to do something. Dare God! Say Jesus if you truly exist proof yoursef to me within 3days. Whatever answer you got, kindly share with us. Thanks and 1luv

Nice one, OP. Human beings are just killing each other to feed the bloodlust of shady hyperdimensional beings

Islam was plagiarized from Christianity
Christianity was plagiarized from Judaism
Judaism was plagiarized from the Epic of Gilgamesh and associated Mesopotamian myths/histories
