![]() ![]() Most religions do teach that a person should not lie or steal, and so forth. Is it true that there is good in all religions? ![]() Their worship is not going to please God, is it?) They may feel that they are zealous for God, but they may not be doing what he requires. 10:2, 3: “I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God but not according to accurate knowledge for, because of not knowing the righteousness of God but seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.” (People may have God’s written Word but lack accurate knowledge of what it contains, because they have not been taught properly. It is in vain that they keep worshiping me, because they teach as doctrines commands of men.”’” (Regardless of whom a group profess to worship, if they hold to doctrines of men instead of the inspired Word of God, their worship is in vain.) Mark 7:6, 7: “He said to them : ‘Isaiah aptly prophesied about you hypocrites, as it is written, “This people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far removed from me. At this Jehovah’s anger blazed against Israel.” (If a person worships any thing or any person other than the true God, the Creator of heaven and earth, it is evident that his form of worship is not acceptable to Jehovah.) So they left Jehovah and did not serve him. 10:6, 7: “The sons of Israel again proceeded to do what was bad in the eyes of Jehovah, and they began to serve the Baals and the Ashtoreth images and the gods of Syria and the gods of Sidon and the gods of Moab and the gods of the sons of Ammon and the gods of the Philistines. 10:20) How vitally important, then, to make sure that we really are worshiping the true God, the Creator of heaven and earth, and that our worship is pleasing to him! 4:4) It warns us that “the things which the nations sacrifice they sacrifice to demons, and not to God.” ( 1 Cor. Who is the instigator of such religious confusion? The Bible identifies Satan the Devil as “the god of this system of things.” ( 2 Cor. (See pages 50, 51, under the heading “Babylon the Great.”) It is noteworthy that, to a large extent, teachings they hold in common, but that differ from the Bible, originated in ancient Babylon. But a comparison of their teachings and practices with the Bible indicates, rather, that the diversity of religions is because people have become followers of men instead of listening to God. Some have said that the various religions all represent different ways of presenting religious truth. Many factors have contributed to the development of new religious groups. Of these, some 6,000 exist in Africa, 1,200 in the United States, and hundreds in other lands. A recent tabulation concluded that there are 10 main religions and some 10,000 sects. ![]()
