is there any right religion?

thomaster (thomaster):

There's no way to prove that any religion is the right one. You just have to believe the one you choose (should you choose one) is the right one I suppose...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but what if theres a right one like one that proves every other one wrong ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@thomaster

thomaster (thomaster):

They can't prove it... If you ask a religious person for proof that his/her religion is the right one, they will provide their holy book as the evidence. This doesn't prove anything, they only believe that what's written in those books.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i understand that but have you seen the stuff that is happening world wide? the bible registers these events on apocalypse haven't you thought of that? its super accurate and i don't think the person who did that book got lucky

thomaster (thomaster):

I don't see an apocalypse in the near future. Unless some virus breaks out and turns everyone in zombies. That would be way more plausible than a god inducing an apocalypse.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this world isn't gonna get better all the killing the weather going crazy dads raping little girls same sex marriage ........

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the apocalypse isn't gonna happen yet i think theres way more stuff that has to happen before that like my thoughts is christians world wide are gonna disappear and not just christians all the people that is good hearted and that have done good and then the so called anti christ is gonna come as the peace maker that he would probably be the president theres gonna be several years of peace in the world everything running smoothly then is when he turns and the great tribulation comes.........

thomaster (thomaster):

You know that the killing rate has drastically decreased lately? In medieval times, there were like a 100 times more killing than nowadays. The weather is going crazy due to global warming and the fact that we're on our way to a "green age". This is the opposite of an ice age. The earth will get warmer and warmer due to natural increase of CO2 (by tectonic shifts and volcanic activity) until it reaches a peak and then we're on our way back to an ice age. This process takes millions of years. Dads raping little gils... that's psycho, and definitely not in an increasing trend. Same sex marriage, I have nothing against that so I don't see the issue in this one.

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

By "apcolypse" I think he means the End times. The Bible predicts many End Time events which are coming true. It says Israel will be back in its land and will remain there, defeating those who try to capture the Holy Land for their group. One world government, peace treaties, etc etc etc, Syria being inhabitable (this could be by nuclear attack), list goes on and on.

thomaster (thomaster):

The end of times will be when the sun runs out of hydrogen fuel and expands until it swallows the earth. This will be in approximately 5-7 billion years. So we have nothing to worry :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well i don't got nothing against same sex marriages but the bible says So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” —Genesis 1:27 he did not say man and man women and women and obviously it dosent compare to those times but people killing other people for stupid things you might be right about the global warming but still i really don't think nothing is gonna get better

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and that will never get to happen you won't be alive any of us will be here for that

thomaster (thomaster):

Exactly. So you don't have to worry for an apocalypse.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ha trust me I'm not worried about the apocalypse people should worrie about God coming and getting his people and your one of the people to stay on earth to witness the great tribulation ...... let me ask you this lets say God is real and he comes today right now from the heavens would you be prepared to go? or you think you would stay ?

thomaster (thomaster):

Depends, if everyone related to me would go, I'd probably go too. But this is very unrealistic idea.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the people that stays on earth are gonna pass through sum really hard times like the micro chip known as (the mark of the beast) they are developing you will have to put it on if u wanna eat or buy things if u refuse they will kill you but if u get marked that little chance you had will be gone ...... the 4th part of the world will be destroyed how? i don't know how the sun will go dark the moon will turn red like blood the stars will fall from the sky the antichrist will be the king of the world he will have power over everyone and when all those events are done thats when the apocalypse will come thats when all mighty God will come and set judgment over the earth and on every single living human on earth asking you what did you do with your life,and judge you on the things you did and he will decide if you will have eternal life or you will spend the rest of your days in hell eternal suffering

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but that won't happen just yet ......

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and everyone has to look for their own salvation I'm not responsible for you. i can pray for you but i can't help you with the decisions you make in life or beg God for a spot in heaven its just something we got to do for ourselves

thomaster (thomaster):

hahaha where did you get that silly idea xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol wich idea?

thomaster (thomaster):

"the sun will go dark the moon will turn red like blood the stars will fall from the sky the antichrist will be the king of the world he will have power over everyone"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all the things I've sed are in the bible not in the order i said but its all there give me a minute and ill show you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Isaiah 13:10 The stars of heaven and their constellations will not show their light. The rising sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.

thomaster (thomaster):

You do realize that the sun is also a star... Why does the sun go dark and the stars will fall out of the sky? Stars are not in the sky, they are in space. Most of them are larger than the sun so if they would actually fall on earth, it would be like a dust particle burned gets barbecued in a volcano.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Matthew 24:29 "Immediately after the distress of those days "'the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.'

thomaster (thomaster):

the moon does not give light either, it's just a reflection from the sun's light.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah and i really can't explain because I'm not God or a scientist maybe is bonn happen like that to show the people he is truly GOD

thomaster (thomaster):

Trust me such an apocalypse will never happen.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i hope not because its sounds scary but the word of God and the profecys need to be fulfill

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but hopefully we won't go through that and will be in a better place take care and God bless

The bible specifically speaks of 17 points to determine the true church of Christ. 1. Christ organized the Church - Ephesians 4:11-14 2. The true church must bear the name of Jesus Christ - Ephesians 5:23, Colossians 1:18 3. The true church must have a foundation of apostles and prophets - Ephesians 2:19-20, 1 Cor. 12:28 4. The true church must have the same organization as Christ's Church - Ephesians 4:11-14 5. The true church must claim divine authority - Hebrews 5:4-10 6. The true church must have no paid ministry - Isaiah 45:13, 1 Peter 5:2 7. The true church must baptize by full immersion - Matthew 3:13-16 8. The true church must bestow the gift of the Holy Spirit by the laying on of hands - Acts 8:14-17 9. The true church must practice genuine divine healing - Mark 3:14-15 10. The true church must teach that God and Jesus are separate individuals - Heb. 1:3, Acts 7:55-56, John 17:11 & 20:17 11. The true church must teach that God and Jesus have bodies of flesh and bone - Luke 24:36-51, Acts 1:9-11 12. The officers of the true church must be called by God, not taken upon by themselves - Hebrews 5:4, Exodus 40:13-16 13. The true church must claim revelation from God - Amos 3:7 14. The true church must be a missionary church - Matthew 28:19-20 15. The true church must be a restored church (previously removed, then re-instated) - Acts 3:19-20 16. The true church must practice baptism for the dead - 1 Corinthians 15:16 -29 17. By their fruits ye shall know them - Matthew 7:20 ** Why are these things important? - Hebrews 13:8

Explain to me why where i live just received an inch of snow yesterday? ON the eastern US, on TAX DAY

thomaster (thomaster):

That's probably due to the polar jet stream this year being locked over the US. Pretty much explained the severe weather conditions this year.

So you can easily believe a gas causes the planet to warm year after year for decades melting the ice caps, but you cant believe in Jesus?!!?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Look deeper into the weather history, this happens all the time. The planet warms gradually, and then cools gradually. Its called change.

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

warm summers, cold winters. Average stays the same.

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

temperatures may go up some years, may go down others. But the earth will never become inhabitable.

OpenStudy (zale101):

If the north pole or the south pole melts, causing the water level to rise. That means plants will began to emerge, too much plants meaning too much inhaling carbon dioxide. If plants inhale the additional carbon dioxide that has been warming our globe, then the level of CO2 concentration will decrease.

OpenStudy (opcode):

@PixieDust1 That maybe average temperature data from the past, but we are no longer living in the past. There are 8.9 billion people on this Earth now. Believe it or not, but we have done some ozone damage, and are contributing to the rise of temperature. The sun going out does not seem like a likely way we would die, I do not believe that we as humans can get along for that long. We all have greed, and greed will be the end of all of us. Plus WMDs play a big role. Note: I cannot predict the future, but I sure as hell can provide statistics which let me make estimates.

thomaster (thomaster):

@Lo-Siento-Mi-Amor "So you can easily believe a gas causes the planet to warm year after year for decades melting the ice caps, but you cant believe in Jesus?!!?" I'm sorry, but that's kinda a stupid question. Of course it's easier to believe that gas causes the planet to warm. It's proven, backed up by tons of scientific evidence, you can see it with your own eyes. There's no denying that fact. Now your Jesus guy, no scientific evidence, not proven, never seen with my own eyes.

OpenStudy (pixiedust1):

I am not questioning if temperatures are on the rise or not. If we get the charts and see a trend, of course it is. We can observe a temperature rise. So I do know temperatures may be rising. I am only saying that I don't believe the Earth will become inhabitable. The earth has gone through many extreme temperature conditions, and yet it is still habitable. Very few scientists agree on the global warming idea yet, nor less how it even happens or what causes it. We have seen temperatures rise and fall on earth many times in history, long before machines and such made factors that could contribute to warming. We are to be good stewards of the earth, but first we must look at past climate changes and determine what the cause it (natural or human) then fix it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you have physically seen gas warm the planet?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

People saw Jesus, check the Bible. Oh wait you don't believe it. But you believe probably every scientific report you read. Cause "scientists" experimented huh ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We can't force someone to bealive in the lord or make them change we can talk to them about it but its on them to bealive or not we just pray for the THEM. i really can't say or judge someone just because they don't have the same believes as we do if he thinks scientist are right? let him be ....... when time comes a lot of people are gonna realize that God is real and he is almighty

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Amen

OpenStudy (kenljw):

Armageddon is Greek for Megiddo an ancient "trade" city in Palestine north of Samaria, this is why the twin "Trade" towers were boomed in 1993 and 2001. Was this Armageddon, the beginning of Armageddon, or just part of a continuing story because in the Old and New Testament it say's "My words will last forever", can certain things be cyclical.

OpenStudy (aaronq):

Yes, Pastafarianism is the only right religion. I've seen His Noodly Appendage many times to confirm this.

thomaster (thomaster):

@aaronq all hail the almighty Flying Spaghetti Monster!

OpenStudy (kenljw):

The only reason science is not subjective is because you have agreement which makes it objective. Are there other systems out there where you have agreement therefore making it objective? Christ said where "two agree on touching something it will be true", but then again in our terms it might be a mass hallucination.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@alexPR787 Yes there is the right religion....a lot of people want the evidence..so thats why several people i known have looked for the right religion themselves. Its better to look for it than asking..Although yes its good to always get a lead.. :)

thomaster (thomaster):

@Rookies2121 You're saying it wrong, it should be: Yes, I believe there is the right religion. You're saying it like it's a fact, while it's clearly an opinion.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@thomaster Well doesnt everyone think differently..you cant judge a person either can you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@thomaster Its just like a reading question like for e test....the answer for the question can be many and there are many ways of finding the answer to it but there is only one right answer isnt there? for everything!! if you think about it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What I personally believe is the right religion is Jehovah's Witnesses Check it out at www.jw.org :)
