Can All Religions Be True?
Post Author: Bill Pratt
If you actually know anything substantive about major world religions, you know the answer to this question is an emphatic “no.”
The only people claiming that all religions are the same or that all religions are equally true are those people who know little to nothing about world religions, or who are unable to do a little bit of critical thinking.
The major religions of the world profess profoundly different views of the nature of God, the nature of man, the afterlife, the source of evil, and a host of other weighty topics. It is true that the ethical teachings contained in major religions have some commonality, but ethics are but one portion of what constitutes a religion’s core beliefs.
If you are a Christian, then you believe that Jesus is the third person of the Triune God. No other major world religion recognizes Jesus as God in this sense, so clearly somebody is wrong! We can’t all be right because Jesus can’t both be God and not God at the same time and in the same sense.

The truth is one and the essence of truth is found in all the Revelations of the One God. Practises differ according to men's needs in the place and time of the Revelation, as well as according to men's misunderstanding and sometimes wilful misinterpretation of the teachings of their own Messenger. There are many Christians who do not believe in the "Trinity doctrine". History, and often "religion" is written by the victors.
