What makes __________ the "right" religion?

OK...I stand corrected, it's "The Kingdom of God is within you."
Luke 17:20-21 The Kingdom of God commeth not with observation. Neither shall they say, Lo here or lo ther. For, behold, the kingdom of God is with you.

Here's some curious ones...

Matt 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. How can it be a place in the "sky" or you know what I mean if there is violence?

Matt: 7:20 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt....For where your treasure is there will your heart be also. (It's not an actual treasure, but a treasure that is within.)

Matt. 13:11 Because it is given unto you to know the MYSTERIES of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.( This is the kind of wording the The Gnostics used.)

Matt. 13:19 When any one heareth the word of the Kingdom, and understandeth it not, then commeth the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart.( He was talking about the understanding of the parables.) Funny about them...I could turn on the radio and hear a parable. One pastor would say the "Leaven" represented sin and then another pastor would say that it represented church growth...So...who is right? So who did the wicked one visit?

The Kingdom of Heaven is an inner place and a place that is around us. God is in everything and is everything kinda. It's the Mystery of finding God dwelling deep in yourself. The wisdom that that entails. Look at the parables with that view...It makes since.

OH HERE'S A GOOD ONE.

Mark 9:1 Verily I say unto you, that there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. (Earlier in another verse, it says that the "Kingdom of God is within you."😉

OH...well enough of my rambling...But really, how would you explain these verses?

Boy this was a bit with the spell-check.. all the eth words...

Hi I'm new here and i read this topic, got interested
I'm Muslim 100%, if you wanna know what makes a religion right
you should go through it by asking proper ppl about it, a person
should search for the right religion.
does anyone knows why did god brought us to earth and why didn't he just kept each of us in hell or heaven????? i have few things to discuss after getting the reply about
what does the holy book talks about

OK..I don't get it...Why did god bring us to earth and why didn't he just keep us in hell or heaven? That's different...

God brought us to earth so each person have no reason to tell god why did you keep me in hell,, its a proof for your self, you see what are you doing now your mistakes, if god kept be straight a way in hell im gonna say no i didn't do anything wrong and u has no proof, thats your proof you being here

eeehhhh ok that was as clear as a real foggy day 😬

Matt 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. How can it be a place in the "sky" or you know what I mean if there is violence?

those who believe are members of the kingdon of God and as long as we are on earth we shall suffer violence and be harmed by the violent

Matt: 7:20 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt....For where your treasure is there will your heart be also.

it talks about the fact that if you care about only those things wich are here on earth then you will not have a heart for the lord and that you wont have a place in heaven but if you do not care about those things then you will have a place saved for you when you get to heaven

Matt. 13:11 Because it is given unto you to know the MYSTERIES of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

those who do not believe in christ do not understand him and do not accept him or his teachings but for those who do believe we will know the mysteries of heaven because we will go there and see it when we die

Matt. 13:19 When any one heareth the word of the Kingdom, and understandeth it not, then commeth the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart.( He was talking about the understanding of the parables.) Funny about them...I could turn on the radio and hear a parable. One pastor would say the "Leaven" represented sin and then another pastor would say that it represented church growth...So...who is right? So who did the wicked one visit?

it is a word used in context a single word can have more then one meaning depending on how you use it
the wicked one visits us all and will try to take the word away from all of us but for those of us that believe he can not take it away from us

Mark 9:1 Verily I say unto you, that there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.

this verse talkks about those people on earth that will not die but will still be alive when christ returns

Lucas 1:1 a long time ago in a galaxy far far away..........

You all do realize why finti gives you a hard time don't you?

He's a pastor of the Stavanger Full Gosper Truth church. And is testing your faith...

it is better to have our faith tested and us not sway from the truth than to live our lives without ever being questioned

i have come across no situations that kill it and if you have had something kill it then you didn't have true faith in the begining
to have true faith is to believe no matter what happens

I dont think there is a "right" religion. I dont practice any religion either. If there is a Heaven, I want to go. Just not any time soon.

No, that's to have blind faith without thinking for yourself. There's a difference.

i have had times of trouble by parents got devorsed i've failled grades in school i have had plennty of bad things happen but through all of it god has helped me and guided me and strengthened my faith i have been able to continue believeing no matter what has happened because all the bad things have worked out for the glory of god. the bible says that what satan ment for evil god entends for good and i have been able to find the good in everything and keeped the faith

Still...there have been people of many faiths that have lost loved ones and didn't lose their faith...And then there are some who did. My sister in laws sister was brutally beaten and killed by her x-hubby while the kids were hiding under the bed. They heard and saw much of what happened. Her back was broken for gods sake...My sister in law lost her faith and so did her mother but only for a few years...There are many trials people go through, Not that I'm minimizing anybodies.. 🙂

People handle the evils in this world in many different ways. Everyones different.

very good point debbie there are other things that i hagve gone through wich i cannot mention because they are personal and there are things that we all have to deal wioth in life many times i have questioned why god would do these things to me and i have come close to leaving christ and not believing but every time christ has brought me to a deeper understanding of his saveing grace and i have been able to grow deeper in my faith

Well in wicca we belive in a haven with the god and goddess but you only reach there when your soul has been in enough life timeds to become perfect through reincarnation

Similar to New Age, I think.
