Sin has messed everything up. Satan wants desperately to retain His ';God of this world'; status and will stop at nothing to keep it.
Even if the path was a runway with flashing red lights, some people wouldn't follow him. If you are unsure, do some homework, go to different churches and see which one seems the most logical to you. Be careful, there are alot of false churches out there. Satan does not want you to find your way there. A lot of different religions just confuse. Makes it harder to find the path, under all the brush.





God gave the gift to everyone, you have free will to say no.








Catholicism was not the first religion. Jesus' followers were first called Christians in Acts. The disciples visited many temples and churches. The word catholic means universal. Catholics took it one step further and made Pope's, nuns, etc.
Good question. There may be different paths to the same one truth.
Oh this is such an honest question. I wish I could be as clear to you as crystal, so you could see. He did make a clear path. Jesus said, ';narrow is the path to life, few will be on it';. He said He was the truth, the life and the way.





The reason there are so many other ';paths'; claiming to be right is that there is an entity called satan....who is the father of lies. His entire existence is about destroying people, doing anything he can to lead them away from the truth of Jesus Christ.





The path is Jesus; the way to find it is through God's word, the bible. I pray that He show you that way and make your way sure.
God wants us to choose him, follow him. He's not going to make it so that he comes to us, we go to him.
People can reach the same destination even if they take different paths. I don't feel comfortable in every church. Others wouldn't feel comfortable in a church that I enjoy. There's something for everyone out there.
To reflect upon the diversity of humanity.


One religion would create more demand for conformity.


Conformity is not God. God is as diverse and unique as the humanity he created.
There was only one when the world bean and Adam and Eve was


created.But when Adam and Eve sinned,the man race fell into sin.That's why we see evolution , clones, etc.!But i promise if you pray and try to stay close to the Lord ,he will guide you on this long,hard life! God Bless!!(if anyone needs more answers go to my profile and e-mail me!)
God didn't create all these religions. Most of them are manmade. God provided us with one Church, founded by Himself 2,000 years ago, within which the path to salvation is very clear indeed.
perhaps the path is so clear we can't see it beneath our very noses?
lol I guarantee you will get BECAUSE THE DEVIL IS TESTING US!! lol so predictable guaranteed!
Religions are creations of man, and not God. That's why there are so many different interpretations. My advice is to get out of any religion you may be in and do your own thinking.
In my opinion, religion is a man made way to deal with the uncertanties of life. If I am a certain religion it's because I feel it brings me closest to God. If God had laid out a road map to heaven then there would be no such thing as faith. If there were a road map then we'd all be saved and it would be worth nothing. This way there is a CHOICE and that's what God is all about. He give us the info that we need and then the choice to follow is up to us. Come on....we all live for a little challenge now and then right :)
The path is extremely clear. All you have to do is open your eyes and follow it.
God gave explicit instuctions in your basic bible text. The question then becomes, do you know how to follow instructions? and if not, do you know how to ask someone
Religions were made by man, not God. Different cultures and different people have different ways of looking at God. I believe that God has lots of names: Buddha, Allah, Krishna, Yahweh, Waken Tanka.......





God did not give us a clear path because he will help us but wants us to do the footwork. He helps those who help themselves in many ways.
God gave us only one very clear path. Unfortunately, because Satan does not want you to find it, he is using a cloaking device (my expression) trying to hide the path from each one of us. Then, some got discouraged and said ';I give up on God'; and so they also started telling people that no path ever existed. Others, decided they could make their own path and charge people to get on it, so they also led them away from the true path with their lies. Now we have a big mess but the true path is still there and God wants you to find it. That is why he wrote you that letter (The Bible). He tells you to search as if for great treasure. Don't give up.
Well that's because people have such vivid imaginations.
because there are so many different people with vivid imaginations and predisposition to superstition, the same reason people get addicted to gambling, you win a couple of times so you think hey I will win, you see something that your told is an act of god but is really a coincedence and hey presto must be god or the gods and from then on in you only need the occasional reaffirmation by the odd coincedence to stay hooked on your chosen faith. God made it hard to find Him because He wants people who really want to find Him, if you really look and you really want God then you WILL find Him, if you don't you wont.
Choice, purification, calling... I don't know, but He didn't want us to follow the same path, else why the creation of different languages at the Tower of Babel???
Because he wants us to approach him with faith. Besides, even if he wrote out a clear map and printed it in the sky, those who choose not to believe would come up with a thousand explanations as to why the map couldn鈥檛 be written by God.


There will never be a map clear enough for those who refuse to turn to him in faith.
real reason there are so many religions??? Catholicism was the first religion. Unfortunatly the prists would tell members what to believe without having proof of what they were saying. The members were not allowed to read the Bible as this was only for the priests to read. This is how they became money hungry, saying you could buy your way into heaven and such. The Bible or any book for that matter was very expensive to print becasue it was done by hand and took a very long time. Most could not afford this. when it was published and members got to read what the Bible really said, they broke off and made different religions starting with the prodestants i think. I learned all this in a History class in college.. Found it very interesting.
He gave us a kaos and by that way he is judging us.
