Is Religion or Jesus Christ the true way to reach to God?

this might seem lik an opinionated question but i am sikh, which is a religion. my brother began believing in christianity. he told me, ';do your research and you'll know.'; im confused...is there any proof? which is the true way?Is Religion or Jesus Christ the true way to reach to God?
Theres no real proof of Christianity at all. Actually it shoots itself in the foot with all of its contradictions. It has like negative proof.Is Religion or Jesus Christ the true way to reach to God?
Jesus is the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father(God) except through Him. Ref. John 14:6

Religion is man's attempt to exalt (lift up) himself. This is generally attempted through a life of good works. However, man is unable to reach God on his own power. The Bible says that even our good works are as filthy rags before God.





Jesus Christ is the only bridge that spans the gap between man and God. The gap between man and God exists because of man's sin. Specifically, having faith that Jesus is the son of God and that his death on the cross pays for your sins bridges the gap.





We are all sinners and are put away from God. However, if we accept the sacrifice that God prepared (Jesus on the cross) for our sins, then we are washed clean before God and are brought back to him.
The Holy Bible is the only Book that actually describe what happen in the past and what's going to happen in the future (prophetic). All other religions do not have this capability.





The Holy Bible speaks of Noah's Ark:


The Ark was discovered in Mount Ararat. What does the world governments do....ask Turkey to post armed soliders in order to prevent anyone from going there and quite possibly destroy the faith of other religions.





Fortunately, this fear was proven to be in error. An exploration team was allowed to lower cameras into the ship and you know what. Everything the Bible stated about it's construction inside and out was very accurate.





The Dead Sea Scrolls matched the Holy Bible word for word. (old testament)





Recent discoveries of burial artifacts of James the brother of Apostle John (Jesus Brother) were unearthed.





The Rock that Moses struck was discovered as well as the remnants of a society that lived there.





In the late 90's the Ark of the Covenant was discovered in an Ethiopian Coptic Church basement vault. It took 4 Israeli Soldiers whom were descendants of the Tribe of Levites to carry the Ark out with wooden poles braced on their shoulders. (Levites are of the Holy Priesthood of GOD)





In 1996, Persimmon Oil vase was unearth. This Oil was used to Anoint Kings appointed by GOD as well as HIS Priest. When the vase was open, it was full and the fragrance was still sweet. This too was transported under guard back to Israel. Why? Because JESUS will return to rule this planet and HE will be Anointed King of Kings and Lord of Lord with this Oil poured over HIS head in the New Jerusalem.





I can go on and on and on.......GOD has given evidence and proof beyond the sending of HIS Son as the Lamb of GOD.





Accept JESUS CHRIST as your personal Lord and Savior you'll do well for your future Eternal Life. The Word of GOD is TRUE and ACCURATE.





Once you've made that decision, HE will come and anoint you and be with you. You will feel HIS Presence.
';Of all religions, the best religion


is to chant the Name of the Lord and maintain pure conduct.


Of all religious rituals, the most sublime ritual


is to erase the filth of the dirty mind in the Company of the Holy.


Of all efforts, the best effort


is to chant the Name of the Lord in the heart, forever.


Of all speech, the most ambrosial speech


is to hear the Lord's Praise and chant it with the tongue.

i would reccomend you to read the translationof Guru Granth Sahib, atleast of Japji Sahib and you will get all answers :)
dear friend


Jesus Christ never came in this world to bring a new religion but to save humans from any man's doctrine and self made traditions, rules, religions...religions were made by humans and not by God because humans want to take control (superiority) on each others. the most simple (and the most honest) way to know Jesus is listening to the voice of your own conscious which comes out from bottom of your heart.


nobody can tell you who is Jesus but your own conscious! Jesus would never lead your mind and thoughts to the others but to yourself because he is there right in your heart.


if you are looking for any proof , the true way then just ask them from yourself : how much you love people, how much you love to see their smiles, how much you love life with all of its beauty and how much you are right with yourself....if you could find the real answers for them , so you have seen Jesus by all of your soul, by all of your heart, by all of your strengths , .








Peace
Every Religion has the way to reach GOD and every religion on this earth only one of the philosophy in Hindu Religion and nothing new.





Like Christians are following the principal similar to Buddha Religions as there are evidences that Jesus Christ had come to Himalayan Region to learn the principals of Buddha Religion.

Yes. The Bible is proof. It's like the fingerprint of God. The wisdom in the Bible is far beyond what any man can fathom. Christians faith only grows when we read the Bible.





The way to the truth is quite simple. If you love the truth, you will know the truth, because God is truth.





Read the book called John in the Bible.

As you do your research, you will find this common thing in each and every religion, no matter what religion it is: religious works.





Religion says you can work your way to God by doing things. All kinds of things, all sorts of things, and then it becomes specific, praying in a certain manner, worshipping, chanting, (for some people) lighting candles, attending services, and so on. The manner of their soul's salvation, is entirely dependent upon themselves. The way they go before God is by saying ';Look at me! Look at me!';





Christianity says God has done all the work for you and for me, because we have been born into a sin cursed world and we ourselves have the curse of sin on us, and in our flesh, our fleshly bodies, cannot work our way to heaven. We can not do enough things. We can not go before God and present ourselves holy enough, we can not atone for our soul enough, we can not be blameless enough, we are fallen, and in need of a saviour.





That's why God came down in the form of a man. God willingly paid the price of sin for mankind. God in the person of Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay for mankind's sin debt to God, and he was buried and rose again.





All anyone has to do is believe and be saved. Saved from their sins so that when they go before God, they will be found blameless and holy and righteous. Not for anything they did, but for having put their faith in what Christ did on the cross.
Yes, do your research and you will know:


Jesus did not die for our sins but he was accused by a King and prosecuted.





Jesus was not son of God or God, he was a simple noble man.


God has no father, mother, wife or sun(Guru Nanak).


The bible was written hundreds of years after Jesus.





Read Gurbani and pray continue. Guru Nanak will help you every where. Read a book Eh kinehia( a biography of Baba Harnam Singh[rampur Kheray]) from your local Gurudwara library. You will be enlightened. God is true and help you everywhere.
If you honestly want to know the truth, do as it says in James 1:5 ';If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.'; Pray with an open, sincere heart and you will get your answer.
Pretty much anything can be taken as proof of anything. I tend to research ideas first and will only believe what I feel is the most likely.





In other words, it's your own decision what to believe, don't take anyone else's word for it
There is proof. It's God who gives it out. He does this through His Spirit just as Jesus said He did.





John 14


17 ';the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him.';

Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. By no other means may we come to the Father. No other can boast of one who rose from the dead. If you were looking for a diamond among a bunch of fake ones wouldn't that be the one you would take.
It is a matter of whom the person shall believe. Christ said that He is the way, the truth, and the life, and that no one can come to the Father but by Him. So if we believe Him, then we believe Him. But if we do not believe Him, then for us He must be lying; but we cannot waver.
No, Religion is the cause of all evil in this world. If there was no religion we would be better humans, without wars, terrorism, suicide bombers, hatred, darkness, suffering etc.
NO!!!


There are many many other Religious people in the past in Sikhs and Hindus fro India on whom you can study and find that It is not only Jesus who gave the right way of spirituality.





Jai Shree Ram !!!!!
Agnosticism,,,





The existence of God can not be proven or disproven.....
I think what Jesus wanted was to live selflessly like him, not worship some dusty old book full of contradictions
No, everybody knows that the great and mighty Zeus is the only true way.
May be one of the way, but not the only way. There are other better options too.
miracles


answered prayer


changed lives


fulfilled prophecy
Jesus said


'; I am the way, I am the truth, I am the life. No one comes to the Father but by me.';


That pretty much sums it up


Peace


a friend

YOU WANT TO REACH GOD? BUILD A FREAKING SPACE SHIP!
Search for the truth and pray to God he will direct you. Jesus died for our sins, im telling you this is true
i don't know.


this is the most honest answer you'll get, especially on this site.
well how does someone reach Jesus so they could reach God.
Every Religion Claims That It Is The Truth - The Criteria Of The Truth


There are so many sects, cults, religions, philosophies, and movements in the world, all of which claim to be the right way or the only true path to Allah (God). How can one determine which one is correct or if, in fact, all are correct? The method by which the answer can be found is to clear away the superficial differences in the teachings of the various claimants to the ultimate truth, and identify the central object of worship to which they call, directly or indirectly. False religions all have in common one basic concept with regards to Allah. They either claim that all men are gods or that specific men were Allah or that nature is Allah or that Allah is a figment of man's imagination.


Thus, it may be stated that the basic message of false religion is that Allah may be worshipped in the form of His creation. False religion invites man to the worship of creation by calling the creation or some aspect of it God. For example, prophet Jesus invited his followers to worship Allah but those who claim to be his followers today call


people to worship Jesus, claiming that he was Allah!


Buddha was a reformer who introduced a number of humanistic principles to the religion of India. He did not claim to be God nor did he suggest to his followers that he be an object of worship. Yet, today most Buddhists who are to be found outside of India have taken him


to be God and prostrate to idols made in their perception of his likeness.


By using the principle of identifying the object of worship, false religion becomes very obvious and the contrived nature of their origin clear. As God said in the Our'aan:


'; That which you worship besides Him are only names you and your forefathers have invented for which Allah has sent down no authority: The command belongs only to Allah:


He has commanded that you only worship Him; that is the right religion, but most men do not understand ';.(Soorah Yoosuf 12:40)


It may be argued that all religions teach good things so why should it matter which one we follow. The reply is that all false religions teach the greatest evil, the worship of creation. Creation-worship is the greatest sin that man can commit because it contradicts the very purpose of his creation. Man was created to worship Allah alone as Allah has explicitly stated in the the Qur鈥檃n:


'; I have only created Jinns and men, that they may worship me ';


(Soorah Zaareeyaat 51:56)Consequently, the worship of creation,which is the essence of idolatry, is the only unforgivable sin. One who dies in this state of idolatry has sealed his fate in the next life. This is not an opinion, but a revealed fact stated by Allah in his final revelation to man.


The following criteria can best serve as a gauge to find out the


authenticity of the last revelation (the Qur鈥檃n) as words of God:


1. Rational Teachings: Since our Creator bestowed reason and


intellect upon us, it is our duty to use it to distinguish the TRUTH from falsehood. True, undistorted revelation from God must be rational and can be reasoned out by all unbiased minds.


2. Perfection: Since our Creator is all perfect, His revelation must be perfect and accurate, free from mistakes, omissions, interpolations and multiplicity of versions. It should be free from contradictions in its narration.


3. No Myths or Superstitions: True revelation is free from myths or


superstitions that degrade the dignity of our Creator or man himself.


4. Scientific: Since our Creator is the Creator of all knowledge, true revelation is scientific and can withstand the challenge of science at all times.


5. Factual Prophecy: Our Creator is the Knower of the past, present and future. Thus His prophecies in His revelation will be fulfilled as prophesied.


6. Inimitable By Man: True revelation is infallible and cannot be imitated by man. God's true revelation is a Living miracle, an open book challenging all mankind to see and prove for themselves its authenticity or veracity.

Well look, many great people like Jesus, Mohammad,Buddha, Guru Govind Singh took birth on this earth who preached their idea of God to their followers. I believe all these great human beings were great social reformers and just preached their brand of belief. They had good intentions and laid down some norms as to how to worship/attain God and lead a social life to realise God.In this connection Christianity has gone steps ahead to prove that their belief is best by cleaverly interpreting history and science. Christian preachers of today are trained professionally and are trained to handle host of questions and are adapt at misinformation and have a closed mind. They tend explain every phenomena in this world, from the anhilation of Jews to Iraq war, as have been told in the Bible. They even brazenly defy science from the time Christianity started spreading its tentacles. They in the ancient times said that the sun moves around the earth and its flat like a table and Galileo for contradicting it was thrown in to the gallows. For this reason Darwin is hated person and the Biblical pundits have gone on to say that the the age of human race as calculated by scientists is wrong and it is only 6000 years and not millions of years as is believed by the scientific community. The Bible pundits even challenge that the scientific method adopted to map the age of human race is ingenuine. To prove their theory of God they have fixed the age of human race as 6000 years which conveniently suits the biblical records. These people accept all other scientific evidence and methods in other areas but when it comes to bible the preachers become scientists. Well, there too are some scientists with perpetual delusion who believe Darwin was a fraud and humans are just 6000 years old ! They even go on to challenge the ';carbon dating'; method which is a much trusted method adopted by the scientific community but is a dud for them because some primitive people wrote some thing ceturies ago in some obscure book ! !





Even today you will see there are some extra ordinary human beings in different parts of the world who preach their brand of faith and people do follow them too. So whats wrong if some people believe these extra ordinary human beings what some people did centuries ago in case of Mohammad,jesus,Buddha etc. !!





Ok , speaking of true God , if there at all is any true god why cant he reveal him self ? why cant he save his followers from danger and perils? why the true God didnt stop spreading other ideas about God ? If there is a God he has to be one and not a Christian God, Muslim God or any other. Was God taking sides when jews were killed ? Yes sure because some obscure people decided so while writting what seemed right to their primitive and rustic minds. Just imagine people of this modern day justifying the killings of jews because of what some obscure and rustic people wrote 2000 years ago indicting the Jews ! All the the the Prophets are nothing but people who preached their way of knowing a unknown God. But yes these people were a sort of social reformers who set out to change the society according to their inventd doctrines and sold their versions of God. Where is God when humanity suffers ? Where is God when evil triumphs over good ? Where is God when people suffer with deseases ? Where is God when terrorists and calamities kill people ?





Yes , I know people are just ready to pour in tons of material to prove their own points with excerpts from history. Well many religions too have some evidence in history. But because of historical evidence God is Proved ? The historical evidence just proves a person and the occurences ...it has got nothing to do with God or what ever. GOD IS ESSENTIALLY A CONCEPT.





I have nothing against Christianity which is a belief system and has imaginary set of doctrines regarding God. Christianity is very well organised, meticulous and well funded in the matters of spreading religion with aim to convert the whole world. Islam also aims to do the same.





It is very difficult for meek people to face the indoctrinated, trained christian preachers who very easily take control of mind and cast a spell over your thought process and creat such hallucinating effects that you loose control of your self. Specially in India the Christian preachers live in a state of dellusion (I think you are form India) and they sort of enjoy this delusion like people enjoying being on drugs.





Be very clear in your mind that there is no entity as God - doesnt matter to which religion you belong. Religion essentially helps in preserving the moral and ethical fabric of the society. With out a God figure people would not heed the social principles which are very essential for the smooth functioning of the society. And Prohets ? Well, there were prophets then and we do see prohets now in this age too.





YOU CAN STAY GOOD AS A SIKH AS LONG AS YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD ( If at all ).


THERE CANT BE SEPARATE GODS FOR SEPARATE BELIEFS.





From the ancient times till date its ultimately the selfishness of people which have created so many Gods and so many belief systems.





God is an imaginary power people use to protect them selves from the fear of the unknown, fear of the future, fear of not being able to control situations and phenomenas and the fear of insecurity. For all these reasons human beings tend to seek out a superior force to protect them and all this has helped to creat an entity called God.
Jesus is the way
