What is the difference between a true religion and a false religion?

biblically an ';undefiled'; religion takes care of its own, more precisely it takes care of widows and the fatherless.


spiritually a false religion STeals from God the tithing that is received in his name and does not have a collection for him when he returns.


(i dont understand the collection parts of prophecy yet)


a false religion sucks on the teet of babylon, even if they claim to be a bible believing church


as i am taught the holy roman empire was reborn only a few years ago


the united nations takes this Roman empire in christs name but follows satan, at least until the antichrist and false prophet appear after that there will much weeping and repentance. When the LORD appears, if anyone is still yet alive.What is the difference between a true religion and a false religion?
If you are Christian, then a true religion is one that obeys God's commandments. A false religion is one that does not obey God's commandments. Included in this category are religions that claim to serve God but partake in false religious or God-dishonoring practices. (1 Timothy 3:5)





If you are not a Christian than the true religion would be whatever you see it as. In my opinion Jehovah's Witnesses are the true religion for several reasons.





1. The Bible tells us that “God is love.” In harmony with this, Jesus showed that the most outstanding mark of those who follow his example in worshiping God is that they would have love among themselves. He said: “By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.” (1 John 4:8; John 13:35) For such love to be truly an identifying mark, it could not be merely a matter of pretending to be nice to one another, could it? It must be love that deeply affects every aspect of one’s daily living. It should influence how one treats the other members of one’s household. It ought to affect one’s attitude toward people of other races and nations. True worshipers of God show love, not only in word, but also in action. They seek what is truly in the best interests of others.—1 John 3:18.





2. Another mark of true religion and of those who practice it is respect for God’s Word. God’s Son when on earth set the pattern in this by showing the highest respect for the inspired Scriptures. He quoted them as the final authority on matters. He continually referred his hearers to God’s Word, encouraging them to read and apply it. (Matthew 19:4-6; Luke 24:44, 45) He showed his deep respect for the Bible by living in accord with its teachings every day. The fulfillment of God’s Word meant more to him than even his own life. (Matthew 26:53-56) Never did he downgrade the Bible; rather, he condemned those who failed to teach in harmony with it and who tried to weaken its force with their own teachings.—Mark 7:9-13.





3. A further requirement of true religion is that it must sanctify God’s name. Why so? Because when Jesus Christ taught his followers how to pray, he showed them that this should be their first concern. “You must pray, then, this way,” he said: “Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified.” (Matthew 6:9) This means holding the name sacred, treating it as something holy. Jesus himself certainly did this. He did not fail to use his Father’s name, nor did he treat it as unimportant. To the contrary, in prayer to his Father, Jesus said: “I have made your name known to them and will make it known.” (John 17:26) He knew that it is God’s purpose for his name to be glorified in all the earth, and he set the example in proclaiming and honoring that name. (John 12:28; Isaiah 12:4, 5) Also, the Scriptures show that the main purpose for the existence of the congregation that God has called out of the world is to be “a people for his name.” (Acts 15:14) If you are to gain salvation, you, too, must know and honor the name of God.—Romans 10:13, 14.





4. True worshipers also proclaim the kingdom of God as man’s true hope. They could not do otherwise and be pleasing to Jehovah God, because he has clearly stated that the Kingdom is his provision for governing the earth. (Daniel 2:44; 7:13, 14) Jesus set the example by going from one end of the land to the other “preaching and declaring the good news of the kingdom of God.” (Luke 8:1) He and his apostles did this by going from village to village and “from house to house.” (Acts 20:20) Jesus also foretold that in these “last days” “this good news of the kingdom” would be preached in all the earth for a witness.—Matthew 24:14.





5. Yet another requirement of true religion is that it keep separate from the world and its affairs. The Bible, at James 1:27, shows that, if our worship is to be clean and undefiled from the standpoint of God, we must keep ourselves “without spot from the world.” This is an important matter, for, “whoever . . . wants to be a friend of the world is constituting himself an enemy of God.” (James 4:4) You can appreciate why this is so serious when you remember that the Bible points out that the ruler of the world is God’s chief adversary, Satan the Devil.—John 12:31.





Now, after reviewing these identifying marks of the true religion that God has provided for us in his Word, what do we conclude? The question at issue is not whether a certain religious group appears to meet one or two of these requirements, nor whether some of its doctrines conform to the Bible. Far more than that, the true religion must measure up in all these respects and its teachings must all be in full harmony with God’s Word. Only in this way can such religion truly be pleasing to Jehovah God. There are not many religions meeting these requirements. The Bible shows that there is only “one faith.”—Ephesians 4:5.





Since God assures us that practicing true religion brings great contentment now and opens up the way for eternal life in his new system of things, it surely will be worth your while to make such an investigation. (Deuteronomy 30:19, 20) You have our warm invitation to do so. Why not investigate now?What is the difference between a true religion and a false religion?
depends on ur opion





sure, if your a buddist you think that your reilgion is true

1st look for proof put into religion

have you read the book 90 minutes in heaven? that guy was a christian
I think a true religion is one you follow.


A false one is when you say you are a religion such as 'Muslim' but eat un- halal meat.(So you don't actually follow the religion properly)
Jesus is true and man made religion is a lie.
true religion is a pair of jeans and false religion is anything but God.
true religion is being atheist and no religion affiliate


false religion are the following believed in the following lunatics including jesus, muhammed, judaism, hindu sheiba, budda himself, and others craps people think up.
That is actually only known and disclosed IF you are seeking God... as Newman points out :





';For instance, a gradual conversion from a false to a true religion, plainly, has much of the character of a continuous process, or a development, in the mind itself, even when the two religions, which are the limits of its course, are antagonists.





Now let it be observed, that such a change consists in addition and increase chiefly, not in destruction. ';True religion is the summit and perfection of false religions; it combines in one whatever there is of good and true separately remaining in each....So that, in matter of fact, if a religious mind were educated in and sincerely attached to some form of heathenism or heresy, and then were brought under the light of truth, it would be drawn off from error into the truth, not by losing what it had, but by gaining what it had not... That same principle of faith which attaches it at first to the wrong doctrine would attach it to the truth; and that portion of its original doctrine, which was to be cast off as absolutely false, would not be directly rejected, but indirectly, in the reception of the truth which is its opposite.





True conversion is ever of a positive, not a negative character.';








Hence what does the NT say ? Something that surprises many people :





Hebrews 11:6





And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
A true religion is truly false and a false religion is falsely true.
No difference.





All religions are man made.





The religions that claim to be the only way to God are based on lies.

















';I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forego their use.'; - Galileo
we ar to cast aside religion for a personal relationship with the living Christ, receiving the offer of life 1john 5:11,13
This is such a stupid question, Religion is a concept of faith, their is not truth to it.
There is no difference, for religion was created by mankind here on earth. This is why it is filled up with it. Recent surveys has noted that there are about 38,000 Christian denominations, and that's not counting all the off-shoots from them.





God says in Ephesians 4:4-6 that He only gave one gospel to mankind, one Father God, one Jesus Christ, one Holy Spirit and one baptism (of Jesus). So if this is so, why so many different churches, each one having a different gospel, different Father God, different Jesus Christ, different Holy Spirit and ironically, each one rejects the baptism of Jesus. They are all mere religious practitioners each one at war with the next one!! They do not belong to Him.





Why not meet the truth today, then your blind eyes will be healed?





John 3:3-5 means, ';If someone wants to be born again, they should be born of water and the Spirit. Here water means the baptism of Jesus, which does away with all the sins of the world once and for all. The Spirit means that Jesus who received baptism from John the Baptist is God Himself.”
one is false ans the other is false
None
Basically, anything you've been raised to believe in is the truth. Everything else is false.


Or you could look at it this way, how much work do you want to put into worshipping a god? How many gods do you want to worship?


If you study the world religions, you will learn alot. You will be able to distinguish from someone being superstitious, obsessively compulsive, and just plain philosophy. Philosophy is wonderful to read and some is great for adaptation.


Ultimately, every religion generally believes in some form of a higher being.


I believe in God, the Hebrews God, but I do realize that they MAY have added in their own philosophies to some extent. I really don't know. But I think to myself that this world is to amazing to have just been created the way scientists explain it. Look at nature, look at life, it's so beautiful and astounding. Can an animal create something? No. Can we create something? Yes. God said he created us in his image. I believe it. I believe he's there and like he said, he gave us a choice.
Some person who wants you to belong to their religion and support it financially will tell you other religions are false. Start your own religion; it's a better living than actually producing a product or a service.
it means that if ur jewish and pretending to be catholic for example!
