Characteristics of False Religions

In the last days, Jesus said that there would arise many false religions. Their teachings would be so convincing that they would lead many astray. In Galatians, The apostle Paul went a step further by warning us that “if anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to that which you received, let him be accursed.”

I am listing some characteristics of how you can determine the true Gospel from false Gospel’s.

1. Jesus said that he did not come to change the Word of God.
(Matthew 5:17)

All religions that came after Jesus claim to bring new messages from God.

2. Jesus did not forbid the eating of any specific food.
(Acts 10:9-15, Matthew 15:10)

Other religions after Christ, command to abstain from eating many kinds of food.

3. Jesus asked his followers to be “the light of the world.”
(Matthew 5:16)

Many religions of today operate in secrecy or separate themselves from the world.

4. Jesus commanded his followers to love everyone including enemies.
(Matthew 5:44)

Many religions after Jesus command their followers to kill in the name of their religion.

5. Prophets and apostles in the Bible were flawed and sinful, just like ordinary people. (Exodus 2: 11, 1 Samuel 11, Mark 2:15, Acts 9: 13-15)

Prophets and apostles in other religions are portrayed perfect, flawless followers, unlike ordinary people.

6. Jesus welcomed and encouraged questions from his followers.
(Mark 12:37, Mark 2:9)

Other religions will threaten, punish, shun, or hit their followers for challenging their religion.

7. Jesus was not offended by the accusations and attacks made by his critics.
(Mark 14: 65, John 10:22-39)

Religions after Jesus become irate and violent if offensive words are spoken against their faith.

These are just few but very effective means to know which faith and which religion is working in the best interest of true understanding. If any faith or religious leader shows any of the bad signs mentioned above, be very careful and leave that oppressive group. I encourage you to continue to educate yourself about Jesus Christ and Christianity. When you do that you will discover for yourself that regardless of many accusations made by the enemies of Christ that no one can find faults with him. Jesus Christ is an airtight case. May God bless your openness to learn more.

Muslims and Christians DO NOT Believe in the Same God!

"Trinity"  Coecke Van Aelst, 1502.  Public Domain Muslims and Christians do not worship the same god.  In many interfaith circles that is the common denominator, supporters in this belief always say, “We believe in the same god.”  But the truth is that the God we worship as Christians, is not the same god Muslims or any other group worships. The Christian God Is All-Loving He commanded us through His Son Jesus Christ to love and pray for our enemies. He also said to love our neighbors just as ourselves. This is a radical departure from most faiths that believe the opposite. Other faiths teach that we have a duty for self-defense and even kill other people who are trying to hurt us.  Jesus said, “If someone slaps you, turn the other cheek.  If someone wants your coat, give it to him.”  This is a very hard thing for humans to do.  It is so much easier to hate, fight back, swallow our pride than to love and forgive. The Christian God is All-Forgiving Jes

Christians Enjoy Their Life!

Prodigal Son, Public Domain Christianity is the Best Because: Our Converts Don’t Get Killed Christianity is better than any other faith in the planet for many reasons. One of those reasons is that if a person decides not to believe in Jesus Christ ---that person will not be physically killed. Other major religions explicitly order the killing of the one who leave their faith. Not Christianity! Christians will feel sad, but they will not persecute the one that leaves. Christians will always pray and hope that their brother or sister returns. Christians have a great example in the story of the Prodigal Son found in Luke 15:11-32. After the rich man’s son goes away from home, the Father is always hopeful that his son will return. And when he comes back, the Bible says that a l l the angels in heaven rejoice for the return of one lost sheep. The Bible is so incredible. So full of love, hope and peace. No other religion in the world has the same kind of teachings that the Bible ha
