How do you identify a false religion?
That would be the religion of anyone who doesn't agree with me. {;-)
Hello,
As to a more serious note, here was my response to the poster. See if
it makes any Scriptural sense to you:
"Many are easily identified by their "fruit"- by their conduct, etc.
Jesus explained it this way at Mt 7:15-20,
"15. "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's
clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.
16. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes
from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
17. Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears
bad fruit.
18. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear
good fruit.
19. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown
into the fire.
20. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them." (NIV)
For example, if a religion professes to be Christian, and yet supports
the wars of this world, they are directly going against Jesus' words
at Mt 5:44,
"But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute
you," (NASB)
Instead of 'loving' their enemies, they try to spread out his guts on
a battlefield. (or worse) Their 'fruit' shows them to be just what
they are; a false religion.
Of course when one is in the true religion (like Jesus' disciples were
in the first century), it is easier to recognize false religions that
are much different than yours. (like the pagan religions around those
first century Christians)
At any rate, there are some things to look for than one would
logically expect of a true religion. For instance, if God wanted
everyone to follow Him, then He would make sure that everyone would
get the opportunity to hear about Him and learn about Him etc.
Interestingly, the Bible is in more languages and widely distributed
than any other religious book. As the World Book Encyclopedia puts it:
"The Bible is the most widely distributed book in history. It has also
been translated more times, and into more languages, than any other
book."
Sincerely, James

Well, no, it was not actually me who did that. Jesus Christ dismissed
them.
And you accept his dismissal of them, making you atheistic about just
one less god than we are.
I believe all of those gods on Bob Young's list exist. They are evil
spirits, angels of Satan.
Even the ones he made up just for the list?
Especially those.
You consider gods you KNOW were made up to be real? Normal people
pass that point by the age of 5.
What are you saying, that there is a blank space in Bob's list
everywhere he made up a name?
When I looked at the list, there were no blank spaces.
So your dodge is that any god's name written down is automatically a
real god, and any made up god's name is invisible?

No, Al Klein was saying that if Bob was inspired by an evil spirit to
make up a name for a god, then the evil spirit pretending to be that
god did not exist. Actually it does.

No, I was saying that if Bob just threw in a few made-up names to
trick you, with no influence of any evil spirit, and you fell for it
and believed that his made-up god was a real god, you proved yourself
to be an idiot.
And that's what happened.

Atheists are spirit-free. Didn't you know that? It's an inherent

Since they don't exist, I guess that's a good thing - there's enough
"nothing" in you already.

What utter intentionally offensive hogwash. Once again, a self-described
believer takes it upon himself to bear false witness, to prove that the
god he claims to believe in does not exist. Evil manages to exist quite
well without turning it into anthorpomorphic personifications. It is too
bad that you choose to ignore that and prefer to insult others instead.

Anthropomorphic personification is the idea that something, such as
evil, can be described in such a way that it is nearly human. Evil
exists whether or not Satan exists. Satan is the anthropomorphic
personification.
Satan is an evil spirit.
That's how he fits into the god category.
