Does It Matter Which Religion You Choose? by segoye2(m): 9:12pm On Jan 24, 2007 |
Does it really matter Being a Christian, Muslim, Buddish, Jewish, e.t.c? Does it matter which Religion you Choose? |

Yeah, it matters which religion I belong to, because Jesus Christ is the only way to God. So, I choose to be a born-again Christian so I have the joy of spending eternity in His Holy Kingdom. |

Usually u don´t choose your religion, u are just born into it, educated more or less religiously and later u decide if u want to stick to it or not. Me I think it´s better to have religion than to have none and it´s better to stick to your families religion than to convert. |

And what if someone's family are worshippers of idols? would you still advise them not to convert? |

So, I choose to be a born-again Christian so I have the joy of spending eternity in His Holy Kingdom. Are you saying christianity is the best? What about Islam, Isn't it leading to the Holy Kingdom as well? |

@topic it's geared more towards the faith in GOD It's easy for a church-goer to say, "hey I'm a Christian" There are some churches that do not appropriately Glorify God's name; testifying as a church-goer does not justify/validate one's christianity (there exists "phony" churches out there). Besides, one might member in a "phony" church and not realize it, but as long as you conduct yourself with cleanliness similar to the ones below(extract from psalm 24): 4 Those who have clean hands and pure hearts, who do not lift up their souls to what is false, and do not swear deceitfully. 5 They will receive blessing from the LORD, and vindication from the God of their salvation. 6 Such is the company of those who seek him, who seek the face of GOD (the God of Jacob.) , then you should be fine, I'm not saying it's attainable to stay completely pure, just try your best at maintaining the most proper moral principles - and pray to God. I personally don't demean, or look down on other religions on the basis that they do not conform to mine. |

Ndipe: If they have faith in the idol they can continue. After all ur christianity or islam or judiasm or buddaism depends on your faith; if you have faith things will work well for you. |

Ndipe: Difficult cos i only can tell u what is best for me which nis Christianity, but not what is best for others. Besides that it seems to me many people in Africa found a way to be Christian and still honour their local tradition and religion. Even know some convinced Christians that use voodoo. Don´t personally think this the way to do it, just report what I see. Cannot judge them. |
