Maybe you can attend different services of different faiths and see if any of them resonate with you.  Read different holy books.  Talk to different people of different faiths.  There's no rule that says you need to follow anything.  Make your own religion.

Ask yourself why there have been and are thousands of religions, and maybe then you'll find your answer.

I think you should explore until you find what suits your heart. No one can find that or make that decision for you. When you feel at peace you will know what's right for you. the most important thing has already been established and that is you believe. Happy journey to you. God Bless. :) :) :)

nobody can answer that for you, i think in your case you should just look up to the sky and tell god you believe, then live your life the way you think is good, we all make mistakes but we can all be forgiven for them, if you want to follow a so called religion i would suggest doing research on them. may take some time but in the end they are all the same believe in god , live right, be kind,

Read a good reliable translation of the Bible.What denomination you are is unimportant.Your relationship with Jesus Christ is all that really matters.

Many people (not all) are raised a certain way, therefore, they become a believer in Christ, in God the almighty or not a believer of any faith. Must like our governing laws today, there are a list of religions that tell us what we should or shouldn't do.

I think a good start to finding your path is to search out the truth. Do your homework. The King James version is one of oldest bibles out there and less likely to be altered or changed.

Keep an open mind & heart. I pray you seek what your looking for. :thumbsup:

If you feel the bible is Gods word for our benefit i suggest you take Jesus words into account...sorry i dont have scripture now but he said....

All will know you are my true followers if you worship and Love my father with spirit and truth and have love among yourselves.

False on all counts; the "KJV" is not one of the oldest versions of retranslations of judeo-xtian mythologies.  It has been altered and changes because different translators interpret the Greek or Hebrew versions in various ways.  Nevertheless, it remains a collection of faith-based superstitious beliefs, (some of which were plagiarized from much earlier pagan belief systems).

Religion is man made, there is only one Creator who made us...if you follow a false religion there is no way to be saved...only through the Son God sent is the way to eternal life. No other way...people made all these religions up, started in OT times, so much proof of the Bible today, especially in the dead sea scrolls they just found, Word for Word in Isaiah.

 :) Religion is telling you what God will and won't do and is filled with rules and commands. Christianity is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

I think I am starting to see your reasoning. Religion is man-made and there fore false. Expect for your religion of course, because the bible contains proof that other religions don't have.


Wait, scratch that. There is empirical evidence to suggest that the bible plagiarized many religious documents of its time (and of times before.) Sorry, your religion is not special in any way shape or form (except for its number of followers.) By the way, number of followers =/= truth. Sorry, guess youu'll have a better luck convening me next time.

If all religions/religious beliefs are manmade, (including those which claim to be 'supernaturally-instigated), then they are all "false" in that none of them have any non-self referential evidentiary proof to support those religious beliefs.
