It does not make logical sense that all religions are true. It is possible for all religions to be wrong but it is not possible for all to be true.

If Christianity is true then no other religion is true.
If Buddha was right then the Christian God does not exist.
If Mohammad was right then the Chrisitan God does not exist and Jesus was wrong.
It is like telling one persion that my car is green and then saying to someone else that it is blue!

All Truth claims are exclusive.

If you take bits and pieces from all religions then you are making a religion made by yourself. Where is the power in that?

How do these religious threads get so long? I got as far as Decius explination of Christianity - he pretty much got it right, hilighting the guilt.

It is my believe that what Christianity is, isn't what Christianity was before the dark ages. What Christianity was, well we really don't know. Peter was made the piller so Saten could not destroy it, so many believe what was is, because it couldn't be destroyed. But I believe what was, was already taken and then came the dark ages.

Concerning the old testament and the law of moses that no one could follow - this law was given to us from the false God goes the teaching of most of the gnostics who were put to death because of this belief.

But when you compare the old testament with the teachings of Jesus, they are so different. Then we are told that God does not change. You figure it out, but I think the Gnosics had something and it was too bad they were put to death for it.

I don't have a religion or church, but I figure if I do as Jesus says as best as I can, it will be alright.

Pete - I know what you believe, I've learned all that before.

There are things in the old testament that you would not find in the new testament, and then then there are things in the new testament that are questionable. Like someone dropping dead because they didn't contribute their fair share.

Jesus said that I have come to complete the law, but I'm not sure we're looking at the same law Jesus was looking at when he said that.

In the old testament God tells his people to go to war and leave no women or children alive.

In the new testament we are told that peace makers will be called children of God.

That's a big difference.

In a dream I was told that God takes us like a ball clay and makes us unto himself. Based on that dream, I have no doubt about my salvation. Though I have no idea howGod is going to save me, I just have no doubt in it. But it might be a good idea to follow the teachings of Jesus as best as I can.

Now, however, evil is removed on a spiritual level and so the style of battle has changed to that of calm prayer rather then bloodshed.
