I’ve never been in a Jehovah’s Witness meeting hall. Just seen from the outside.

All religious systems and beliefs are not the same either in practice, beliefs or foundation.

I have never seen one that didn’t have some truth it in; some more, some less. Some a lot more, some a lot less.

The problem that We All find ourselves with is that Christ himself clearly stated that there was, One Way and One Truth.
There is the Broad Road leading to destruction, (eternal death) and the Narrow Path that leads to eternal life.

My belief is that he was talking about God’s word and his commandments.
Satan started the idea of another religion in the Garden of Eden.
I believe that he is the author of confusion and the creation of uncountable and numerous separate beliefs and religions are his tools to lead us all astray.

Wasn’t it Paul .. Talking about the Thessalonians who said .. “truly I bear them witness that the have a True love of God ‘but’, Not knowing the righteousness of God (Truth, way).. They seek to establish their own righteousness and in doing so .. they make themselves an enemy of God”?

I admit, I am paraphrasing here and am not entirely sure if it was the Thessalonians that he was talking about but the premise is correct.

We HAVE to search out the Truth of God’s word, wherever it is.

ALL religious beliefs cannot be correct .. If they are not in accordance with each other and with God’s word.

(compare religions .. Most conflict in their teachings/beliefs with each other)

Saying that you believe that the Christ died for our sins is just not enough .. We Must know WHAT his message was and follow his way or .. His message would have been relativly Short, huh?

Satans two tools: Having us believe that he doesn’t exist and False Religion.
