Inclusive & Exclusive - Belief

[gteeter]

God does judge the heart, but true worshipers will worship God in truth and spirit! When you find a conflict between two different religions how do you determine which one is right? Is it possible that one is wrong and one is right?
Would it not be dangerous to accept a false statement which could lead you in the wrong direction. Is God a God of confusion or source of truth? Can you select what is truth and avoid error? It would seem that it would be foolish to rely on one's own wisdom ... so what source do you rely on to determine what is or isn't of the Lord? That's the question?

Precisely, gteeter! What source does one chose for the truth?

Every religion has their own scriptures, tenets, dogma, and rituals. How many religions are there? Hundreds of variations, I suppose. Some chose their religion, some are born into it, some are compelled to a particular religion by their social customs.

I believe in the religion of the heart. Of the individual. Afterall, if we are to be judged for our life upon our death, nobody but ourselves will meet face to face with God. Neither our pastor, our priest, our guru, our iman, our rabbi, our friends, our family, nor anybody will be there when we finally see God in all His glory. We will be judged on what we did in this life. And I believe that judgement will be based on whether or not we loved our neighbor.
