Religions

 

There are twelve major religions in the world today...

1. Christianity
2. Islam
3. Buddhism
4. Hinduism
5. Judaism
6. Jainism
7. Confucianism
8. Taoism
9. Sikhism 
10. Shinto
11. Baháʼí 
12. Zoroastrianism

What do they have in common

1. belief in a higher
2. sacred texts
3. moral and ethical guidelines
4. the golden rule
5. rituals and worship
6. sacred places and pilgrimages
7. community and fellowship
8. life after death
9. guidance from religious leaders
10. symbols and iconography
11. striving for enlightenment or salvation
12. influence on society and culture

So, how do we know which religion/belief is correct?

If there is ONE CREATOR, why did that CREATOR give us TWELVE RELIGIONS with TWELVE COMMONALITIES?

Is there a Jesus figure among these TWELVE RELIGIONS"

1. Christianity – Jesus is the Son of God, the Messiah, and the central figure of the faith.
2. Islam – Jesus (Isa) is a revered prophet and the Messiah, but not divine.
3. Judaism – Jesus is seen as a historical figure, but not the Messiah or Son of God.
4. Hinduism – Some Hindus view Jesus as a holy teacher or even an avatar of God.
5. Buddhism – Jesus is often regarded as a wise teacher, similar to a Bodhisattva.
6. Sikhism – Jesus is respected as a saint and teacher of truth.
7. Baháʼí  – Jesus is considered a divine manifestation of God.
8. Confucianism – Jesus is acknowledged as an important prophet and the Messiah.
9. Zoroastrianism – Jesus is sometimes recognized as a prophet, but not central to the faith.
10. Jainism – Jesus is not a central figure, but his teachings on peace and morality are respected.
11. Shinto – Jesus is not a part of traditional Shinto beliefs.
12. Taoism – Jesus is not a central figure, though some Taoist interpretations appreciate his wisdom.

Why is Jesus present in all these religions as well as a Creator or Supreme Being, or God, if they were all about something different?

It would seem like to me that there are similarities because there are supposed to be similarities.  We are ONE HUMAN RACE, with different cultures, different societies, different languages BUT ONE RELIGION with different variations to suit these different societies and cultures.

Have you ever asked yourself why CHRISTIANITY have so many denominations if they are all about God and Jesus?

Have you ever asked yourself why if Jesus was a JEW, that the JEWISH faith does not accept him as their SAVIOR, but Christianity does?
