If there is only one Creator.....than WHY?

Question

..if we take it on logic,...if is only one Creator,that means that is only one real faith ,..than how comes that there are many religions in the world?

Maybe because we are some Little sons of this creator,...we find each one of us our own religion who reunites or separates us ,...but, than i came and ask you : Why can\t we see that there is only one absolute truth, and therefore one absolute faith?

Answer 1

If you boil them down to their basest facts, most religions do believe essentially the same things:

1)  There is a higher power, order, or structure to existence as we know it.  

2)  The higher power/order/structure lends us an example and purpose to strive toward bettering ourselves.

I really think that the difference is in how much structure each person needs.  For example, some religions are highly-structured, full of clearly-delineated rules to follow in order to be a good example of an improving soul.  Other religions allow their followers to be more explorative and intuitive in seeking the best path toward bettering themselves and reflecting the higher power.  Some offer more stories and examples of comfort along a difficult struggle to make hard choices in life.  Some offer fierce and punishing Gods to urge followers down the path.

But those same two statements essentially remain the same regardless of the DETAILS of each religion.

Answer 2

There are many religions but only one way to the Father and through Jesus Christ.

Answer 3

I guess the truth is is that we'll never know

Answer 4

Different religions are different because they teach things that contradict each other.  When you have contradictory doctrine, at least one of the views is false.

  

For example, some churches teach that one must be baptized to be saved, while others teach that you are baptized after you are saved.  Both of these views cannot be true.  If you hold one to be true, then you are automatically viewing the other as false.

The Bible says that we should "all speak the same thing" and have "no divisions". (1 Corinthians 1:10)

If a man decided to "join" every church in town and said he was going to fully support each of their (contradictory) doctrines, we would say he is either a hypocrite or insane.  So, with this in mind, is Christ a member of all of the churches?  This can be answered by a simple 3-word rhetorical question from the Bible, "Is Christ divided?"  (1 Corinthians 1:13) He is not!  Christ is the head of the church that teaches a doctrine that agrees with the Word of God.  When we teach anything else, we are following man and not God.  If we teach any doctrine contrary to the one taught by Christ and His apostles, we are accursed. (Galatians 1:6 -9)

It is important for us to compare all religious things we are taught to the scriptures (Acts 17:11, 2 Timothy 3:16-17).  The scriptures are the standard by which we know the truth.  That religion that follows this standard (speaks the same thing as the scriptures) is true.  Once we establish what is true, all else is false.

The many divisions should not exist.

Notice what 1 Corinthians 1:10 says;"Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye ALL SPEAK THE SAME THING, and that there be NO DIVISIONS among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment."

Jesus prayed for such unity in John 17:20-21.

Why do we have so many divisions? Men are not satisfied to all speak the same thing. Men are not satisfied to teach only the word of God. Men are not satisfied to only speak where the Bible speaks, and be silent where the Bible is silent. Men are not content to do Bible things in Bible ways and call Bible things by Bible names. Too many wish to add their own desires and teach their own doctrine.

Notice 2 Timothy 4:2-4.

"Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables."

We should return to the Bible as our authority and only guide book. We should have a "thus saith the Lord" for everything we teach and do as a church.

The Bible teaches that the church is the body of Christ (Eph. 1:22-23) and that there is only "one body" (Eph 4:4). When the church first began, there were no denominations.

In Acts 2, we see that about 3000 all heard the same message, all understood it the same way, all believed it the same way and all obeyed it the same way. The result was they became Christians - nothing more, nothing less, nothing else. At this point, God added them to His church (Acts 2:47).

There is no authorization for Christians to "join the church of your choice", but they were added to the church Christ built and purchased! (Matt. 16:18, Acts 20:27)

After they became Christians they continued in one accord in fellowship and together in the apostles doctrine. (Acts 2:42-47) They had the type of unity Christians should have.

Today, if we read and understand what they understood, believe what they believed, and do only what they did, without adding any man-made doctrine, we will become only what they became - Christians!

This is the goal and plea of those who meet together under the name "church of Christ" today. We only want to be the church you can read about in the Bible.

Christ is the head of the church, therefore we have no "headquarters" on Earth that oversees the local congregation, but each congregation goes directly to the Bible to see what should be taught and practiced.

A denomination is larger than the local congregation, but smaller than the universal church. Since the church of Christ congregations are autonomous, only governed by local congregations, with no regional, national, or world-wide "headquatrers" they are not a denomination. There is no man-made organization in between the local congregation (which is not a denomination) and the church as a whole (which is not a denomination).

We only want to follow God's word in our name (Rom. 16:16), method of worship, organization, and teaching (doctrine). The word of God is sufficient for doctrine, reproof, correction and instruction. Using it in this way, we can be completely furnished with everything we need, and there is no need to add any man-made doctrine. (2 Tim. 3:16-17)

Answer 5

Thank you for asking.

Yes, there is only one Creator, and only one real faith.

Ephesians 4:5  One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

God Created everything in six 24 hour days, and on the seventh He rested with His Created pair on humans, ans started their education in all things, particularly the Gospel.

Then down through the ages He expanded upon it to His Patriarchs, Prophets, Judges, Kings and then through His only begotten Son Jesus.

Up to the Crucifixion Satan had a minimal effect, but when Christ was crucified Satan thought he had won, but NO! Jesus was resurrected, so Satan doubled and redoubled his efforts to delude God's people by starting counterfeit religions.

God's true religion still exists on earth today, but it is very had to find, please search for an organised world-wide church that OBEYS God and His Holy Bible.
