The discussion is not ' do you believe what you believe because it was the most appealing to you ' .
How is it not? You ask which offers the best deal. That depends on what appeals to you.

The discussion is not ' do you believe what you believe because it was the most appealing to you ' .
What if the belief you hold today is incorrect. What would you do then?But its not based on that . Again were discussing IF its true as a given ,for arguments sake .
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.The offers may look good, but that doesn't make the religion true. What are you looking for?
Mormons tell me all the time ,they have the best path , way , temple , baptism, mission, Journey , ect .How is it not? You ask which offers the best deal. That depends on what appeals to you.
It is just as legitimate as any other.Is this a recognised ( legitimate) religion . I.ll regret saying that of course . Holds breath...
If Jesus did not rise from the dead im stuffed lol .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.
You could always try to find another religion.If Jesus did not rise from the dead im stuffed lol .
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 .What if the belief you hold today is incorrect. What would you do then?

And if not's not true?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.
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.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?

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 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.

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 ?And if not's not true?
This thread topic is about 'better offers' so what would that look like to you?
Yes I agree up to the second paragraph.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.
You haven't defined any of your terms.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 ?
Bro this is NT stuff.Yes ,the OT .
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".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 ?
Any thing that causes bad actions is not good . The thing might be at fault however, but the misuse of it.Even nothing is better than a false belief that often leads to bad actions. Wouldn't you say that?
Not one verse was NT .Bro this is NT stuff.
I can point to endless bad actions that arose from Christianity. Perhaps it is not the best path after all. It may work for some but clearly not for everyone.Any thing that causes bad actions is not good . The thing might be at fault however, but the misuse of it.
