God wants different religions

Could be, but for sure many died because of religion wars. Or even wars between different versions of the same religion.

that could have been avoided easily by just presenting one possible alternative to believers. No rational reason to wanting plurality of beliefs, since it seems to provide negative value, in general.

Agreed as war is not a foundation of any Faith.

Love and service to all humanity, Is. The acceptance of all people as our family and neighbour, Is.

Oh, good. Another self-appointed spokesperson for God.

How do you know if she is appointing herself to be God's spokeswoman? Perhaps she is merely inviting us to discuss the ideas in her post rather than seeing who accepts some beliefs she is propounding?

God wants different religions to exist. God wants all human to live in peace with each other. God want us to learn to be kind to each other no matter what religion a person believes in. God has no spesific religion. God is behind different religions

Any thoughts? Do you agree or disagree?

I agree wholeheartedly, and have for a long time. Some God that would only create one religion. How very uncreative of him.

Because her post was a series of pronouncements about what God wants.

How would that necessarily make her not a self-appointed spokesperson for God?

God wants different religions, but I believe my church the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the correct one.

How did you deduce that?
there was a time when God delt with one nation and was only happy with that people when they did what they were told to do . he has standards. today religion is all over the place in belief , yet God does not change

Your claim: 'Religions'' are tested.

My question: What sort of objective tests are here?

Your reply:

They simply work.

OK, give an example of an objective test of religion, and how it proves a religion is true. Don't be afraid to give a lengthy answer, and use facts.

not possible now, but in the future I believe it will be possible because people will have evolved spiritually, so they won't feel the need to cling to a religion just because it suits their needs and personality.... people will want what God wants, whatever that religion is.
It might require a big war and a huge loss of life. I don't see enough of humanity evolving.

O earth one body the God presence ours. O god that created its heavens.

Where we live within.

Humans one species.
First human parents human. Same.

Reason one only existed created all states highest were natural first. As first form.

Brother of man agreement. Science terms used to change one.

Heavens a variable body of forms and reactions. Not a thesis. O God earth body Multi varied multi substances not a theory.

Man science caused the attack in every nation.

Ground state changed. DNA humans changed. Separation of mind body consciousness men of science caused.

Thesis human. Humanity needs to be healed reunited.

Reality once DNA was changed it IS changed

It cannot be united.

Teaching one theme human spirituality was never one nations only religion.

It was a notified scientific shared thesis of human realisation only.

Hence the basic terms. Science caused the evils. Change. Humans needed to unite mind and behaviours by wisdom in teaching.

To balanced mutual family support.

DNA says I am of my own land will never change its identification.

However multi cultural diversity is already being lived and shared.

At the Tower of Babel, God scattered the various races to the various corners of the world, changed their religions, and changed their races. He didn't want them (at least at that time) to get along. I can't help but wonder if his plan was to wait until the world has matured enough to embrace each other as brothers, learn from each other's religions and cultural differences, and act like the children of God that we all are.

The very Jewish Jesus laid a guilt trip on the poor unsuspecting gentiles....oy vey....they have the guilt of so-called original sin. So they have to start apologizing immediately, start atoning immediately, and hope and pray that God accepts the humble atonements. Gentiles aren't used to such guilt trips.

Upon his next visit, Christ might very well demand that Christians become even more Jewish (he might get out his samarai sword and make a few chops of his own)...blindfolded for the sake of modesty.

We approach Christmas, and should get into the spirit of the season....killing trees....getting presents that no one wants....standing on return lines (after the season).

But, somewhere, in all that mercantiling, there is a reminder that we are all God's children, and we should "do unto others" (not make war or torture camps). We should turn the other cheek when riled, and conduct foreign affairs with patients and compassion.

A washroom attendant told me that it was really nice, last year, when someone gave him a $300 tip. I spoke with him for at least an hour about how giving is so much better than receiving around the holidays, yet....he didn't give me a $300 tip (not even a dollar).

Puzzled, I wonder what all of the various customs are about giving. Does everyone help the homeless? If so, why are there so many of them?

We've tried a lot of wars. Oddly, the enemy never thanked us. In the Middle East, they are still carrying a grudge over Alexander the Great conquering them (and that was a while ago). They carry grudges for a long time in that region of the world. How long do we expect a grudge for US actions abroad?

We can placate ourselves by telling everyone how loving our God is, and how loving we are as a result. If anyone objects and says that we're not loving, we can merely ice them....put them 6 feet under. (Isn't that how the Mafia handles things?)

Often we forge our fine reputation through violence because we can't gain a fine reputation in any other way.

If we could see the future, we'd see fearsome weapons. Yet, the use of those weapons comes from man....the same man who lived in caves....the same man who enslaved and tortured. The future is bleak because science has advanced mankind's ability to kill itself, and wipe out all life on earth. Some of that is happening now, without firing a shot....it's called Global Warming....it is about ignoring God's beautiful and balanced nature.

Science isn't to blame, but it amplifies the natural tendancies of man so that his destruction is more awesome and more final.

Much in the way that The Lord of the Rings offers knowledge about elves and Hobbits.


What sort of objective tests are here?


Who says? Between Catholics and Protestants, which approach is authentic?

Presumably the earliest religion is the most authentic, because the bible has been altered the least. Yet, many protestants have tried to reform a church that they perceived had strayed from its proper path. That was the entire thrust of the Lutheren religion. But, Martin Luther was a bigot, and he had hatred in his heart.

It is difficult to be on the right path while following a leader on the wrong path.

History's Most Brutal And Bizarre Witch Tests, From Needling To Urine Cakes

Tested witches by wrapping them in chains and tossing them into a lake....if they died, they might have been witches. Oddly, all of them died. Better safe than sorry. (Please see the hypertext link above).

Pretty presumptuous to announce what God
wants.
As for all religions, a review of Aztec
religion should bring that into focus.
IOW I agree with you

Yet, if we don't try to understand what God wants, we can't give God what he wants.

Aztecs...invented basketball....needed something other than a head for a ball. (At one time, they used rubber).

Right. I hear some theists say that the disputes and differences are the fault of people. OK, then why did God create people like this so they will be in so many disputes?

If God gave different people different religions, but knew these people would fight over the differences, then God is either inept, or a sadist.

When a theist suggests it's not God's fault that humans act this way, then why is anyone worshipping this God at all?

Disputes aren't bad. Wars are. Religions have often caused tortures and deaths.

Yet millions live in peace and embrace all of the God given faiths with no prejudices of race, gender or religion.

Maybe it just needs some humans to change their own mindsets? The quandary of choices.

Regards Tony

In the US, Native Americans hate whites, Blacks riot while claiming that their lives matter, some Latinos are upset over Trump's wall, that they perceive to be hatred of them.

Racial relations are as bad now as they were in the 1960s as Blacks were lynched because of their skin color.

On the other hand, more than half of the US voted for a half-Black man (Obama), and I am certain that bigots would not have done that. Maybe there is hope for the human race getting along?
