Is it true that there is good in all religions?

by L. Lenin G. Zapata

 

Most religions do teach that a person should not lie or steal. But, is that sufficient?

 

Would you be happy to drink a glass of poisoned water because someone assured you that most of what you were getting was water? Of course not!

 

A similar situation arises with regard to religion.

The Bible teaches that such worship is contaminated. And cautions us that not everything that originates with Satan may appear hideous. One of his chief methods of deceiving mankind has been false religion of all kinds, to some of which he gives a righteous appearance.READ - 2Cor. 11:14,15

　

No doubt many religious groups include sincere people who want to please God. That is why, it is important for them just like us to get out completely from "Babylon the Great," with its unclean teachings and practices. Why?READ - Revelation 18:2,                                                     

As we can see friends, here the Scriptures clearly tells us that false religion is being exposed for what she truly is; a dwelling place of demons".

 

So, what does Jehovah want for those with a sincere heart?- READ - Revelation 18:4.

　

Now is getting out of "Babylon the Great", with its unclean teachings and practices enough? Or is there something more?

　

In 2Tim. 3:2,5 Paul says that; "Men will be.　.　. .having an appearance of godliness but proving false to its power; then he highlights; and from these turn away."

 

So, regardless of their outward professions of love for God, if those who, do not sincerely apply his Word in their own lives, the Bible urges us to break off such association. READ - 2 Cor.6:14-17

                                                                                                                           

So, are we going to exchange our fellowship of righteousness for lawlessness? True light for darkness? Are we going to exchange our fellowship of faith and worship of the living GOD in spirit and in truth, for Satan's lie? How! How can we exchange one for the other?

 

By association with these individuals. You see friends, these could easily be our schoolmates, co-workers, neighbors or even family members who refuse to be known by Jehovah.

 

So, is it true that there is good in all religions? Jehovah doesn’t think so, should we?
