The world of religion has become what politics is, a dirty game of criticisms, backstabbing, manipulations, lies, and falsehoods. If that is true, then what do we possess that is true about God. Is it feasible to unencumber the current problems facing the God of men? In the streamline based Christian doctrine we find, at the center, the bible. The bible contains the words and thoughts of God give to men by way of chosen men called prophets / apostles. To avoid any possible semantic interpretations of what the Bible consist of, let simply say that the reason for its existence is to indoctrinate men about the truths, principles, and realities of God. However, it seems that the Bible’s attempt to correctly accomplish the God of establishing truths is completely inimical when used by men. Wars, death, immoralities, lies, and corruption have been generated by the use of the Bible and Christianity in evil ways.
Reverting back to my previous statement of religion being compared to politics, I would like to state that no man could deny that assertion. Especially, for the following reason:
-Many Christian sects attack one another, because of disagreements and differences that seem odd or difficult to understand (which dose not imply that they are bad).
- Many Christian sects attempt to lie about their “opponent” because of their opponents winning numbers. (Some even attempt to fund “campaigns” of distribution of anti-opponent material such as videos or DVDs)
-And, like politics, it is done for the ‘good of men’ or worse, ‘in the name of God.’
It is truly degrading to the face of Christianity itself. A commonly posed question seems necessary here: ” would Christ act that way toward those who believe and love him?” — the obvious answer is no; thus, such sects that defame and attack other believers of Christ are utterly and simply hypocritical, or are not true Christians.
The must be something that perhaps God has overlooked when he sent his beloved son here to this earth to die for our sins because we are really in a difficult situation. However, we know that God could not have over looked something. He sent his son here to love, and provide us a way back to him. This way is actually duel, and consist of the atonement and teachings. He taught us TRUTHS, yet how is it possible that we have millions of different ways of interpreting such truths? I think that know man could argue that truths are immutable and remain as an example of what we respect God for –perfection.
To help understand the previous comment lets look at this argument:
1. If God is omnipotent and omniscient, then God would be able to use his omniscient and omnipotent abilities to achieve a state of absolute perfection. (premise)
2. If God is absolutely perfect, then God would not be mutable. (premise)
3. If God is immutable, then his truths must be absolutely perfect and immutable. (premise)
4. If God’s truths are immutable and perfect, then the only religion that reflects these truths is true. (premise)
5. Thus, if God is omnipotent and omniscient, then the only religion that reflects these truths is true. (1-4)

I think that all the religions that openly attack and, as a whole, attempt, almost always in an unavailing manner, to thwart fellow christians’ love for Christ have more to look at then there pin-whole view of God. By pontifications of hate and contention for their bothers they obviously do not have all the truths that the previous argument requires them to have to be Gods true religion. This is because to attack and spread doubt, hate, contention, lies, and falsehoods is to be as one of the warriors of darkness -the very thing Christ came to annihilate. It is obvious that the religions of the Christian world need to examine their actions and help edify the world instead of being like the very degenerating filth caused by the politicians of the world –corruption.
True religion not only holds all the truths of the Bible, but it also embraces, loves, and attempts with all of its fiber to become closer to Christ and edify others to believe in them their own way.
To conclude, we as men must seek the truth and that can only come from God. This cannot be brought forth by the words of men, but rather of God.
ps. If you are interested, I have a link to a religion that I hold true that as a body, never attack other Christian faiths, is charitable, edifies, and believes that men should seek truth for them selves. Even when it is attacked unjustly by lies and manipulations of its objectors, it remains steady in its focus in Christ. Click the link under “blogroll” called “The True Church.”
