Does your belief / religion ect offer a better deal ?

Spirit of Light

Be who ever you want
But its not based on that . Again were discussing IF its true as a given ,for arguments sake .
What if the belief you hold today is incorrect. What would you do then?

I know right now, how i am practicing sufism isnt enough to be sure i reach paradise. So i have still world to do.

The offers may look good, but that doesn't make the religion true. What are you looking for?
Again thats not the discussion necessarily. Its more IF its true ,does it offer something more than another. I have people from other religions come to me ,but as yet there is nothing out there that offers more than I have.

Jesus is enough and there is nothing to do but recieve the free gift of salvation..The only way to recieve is to believe what he did for our sins on the cross . That is hard to be beaten by any other religion , prophet , guru, ascended master, or any practice, meditation, principle, steps , course , ect .

And if not's not true?

This thread topic is about 'better offers' so what would that look like to you?

You could always try to find another religion.

By the way, I do not know what it means to be "recognized". Are political prisoners because of their religion a form of recognition?

Maybe I'm restricted by the ones I know and have come across . Thats why I've asked on this forum. What better place to ask if what you or others have is better than what I have? Its worth knowing if its better than what I have.

The discussion here is based on what the requirements for your belief/ religion are . What is required of you to do in order to attain. Its immediate benefits/ results and its future promise / fulfilment.
Now this of course is based on whether or not said belief is true or not. But first let's discuss what's on offer here and my argument is , I don't believe anyone can offer more than I already have ,as a bible believing Christian . Not immediately or in the future.
The original Gospel of The Kingdom of Heaven requires man to love God with all your heart and soul and love your neighbor as yourself. More than a belief about the past, it’s a consecrated way of life now, today and everyday going forward.

The original teachings of Jesus were “generic”, no name brand or theologically arrogant “chosen people”. It was ment to become the common heritage of all religions. But it changed after Jesus left.

Even nothing is better than a false belief that often leads to bad actions. Wouldn't you say that?

It would be something that's better than what I have in Jesus, specifically. There are many other claims offering ' truth ' , ' a way ' ,a path ect . The discussion is IF its true then why is it better ?

Yes I agree up to the second paragraph.

You haven't defined any of your terms.

What do you mean by 'better'?

That makes it highly subjective. What works for you may not work for others and vice versa. The fact is that there is no one "best path".
