⚠️ Where Each Religion Goes Astray

 Here’s a simple, loving overview showing where major religions go astray, according to the Bible:





Christianity (True Gospel)



✅ Jesus is God.

✅ Salvation is by grace through faith in Him alone.

✅ The Bible is God’s final Word.





Islam



❌ Denies Jesus is God.

❌ Says He didn’t die on the cross.

❌ Adds the Qur’an after the Bible.

➡ Goes astray by rejecting the Son of God and His sacrifice (see John 3:16–18).





Judaism



❌ Accepts the Old Testament but rejects Jesus as Messiah.

➡ Goes astray by missing the fulfillment of prophecy in Jesus (see Isaiah 53, Matthew 1).





Hinduism



❌ Believes in millions of gods.

❌ Teaches reincarnation and karma.

➡ Goes astray by worshiping creation instead of the Creator (see Romans 1:25).





Buddhism



❌ Denies a personal God.

❌ Teaches you reach “nirvana” through self-effort.

➡ Goes astray by relying on self, not a Savior (see Ephesians 2:8–9).





Mormonism (LDS)



❌ Adds books to the Bible (like the Book of Mormon).

❌ Teaches Jesus is a created being.

➡ Goes astray by changing who Jesus is and adding to God’s Word (see Galatians 1:8–9).





Jehovah’s Witnesses



❌ Deny Jesus is God.

❌ Say He is Michael the archangel.

➡ Goes astray by rejecting the deity of Christ (see John 1:1, Colossians 2:9).





New Age / Spirituality



❌ Says “all paths lead to God.”

❌ Focuses on self, energy, or “the universe.”

➡ Goes astray by ignoring Jesus as the only Way (see John 14:6).





Wicca / Witchcraft



❌ Uses spells, crystals, and spirit guides.

❌ Often sees Jesus as just a good teacher.

➡ Goes astray by turning to dark spiritual forces instead of the Holy Spirit (see Deuteronomy 18:10–12).





Catholicism

 (not all individuals, but the system)



❌ Adds traditions and sacraments for salvation.

❌ Elevates Mary and the Pope.

➡ Goes astray by adding works and human authority to the finished work of Christ (see Titus 3:5, Hebrews 10:10–14).





Bottom Line:



🛑 All these go astray by removing, replacing, or rejecting Jesus as the only Savior.

✅ The true Gospel is simple:

Jesus alone saves. No additions. No replacements. No exceptions. (Acts 4:12)

🤕 Why Forgiveness Is Important — Spiritually, Emotionally, and Practically

  Forgiveness isn’t easy—but it’s essential. Not just for the person who hurt you, but for your own freedom, healing, and relationship with God. 1. Because God Commands It Jesus didn’t leave forgiveness as a suggestion. He made it clear: “If you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.” —Matthew 6:15 When we forgive, we are obeying God and reflecting His mercy. As believers, we forgive because we’ve been forgiven. “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” —Ephesians 4:32 2. Because Unforgiveness Holds You Prisoner Holding onto bitterness is like drinking poison and expecting someone else to die. It eats at your peace. It feeds resentment. It blocks joy. Forgiveness doesn’t mean what they did was okay—it means you’re choosing not to let it control you anymore. 3. Because It Sets You Free Forgiveness doesn’t change the past, but it transforms your present. It...

♥️ What Real Love Looks Like

  Love is a word we hear every day—sung in songs, spoken in vows, printed on cards—but rarely do we stop to ask: What is real love? The World’s Version vs. God’s Version The world defines love as a feeling—fleeting, emotional, often self-centered. But the Bible flips that on its head. Love, according to God, is not just about how we feel. It’s about how we choose to act. It’s selfless. It’s sacrificial. It’s holy. “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude.” —1 Corinthians 13:4-5 (ESV) That kind of love doesn’t come naturally. It comes supernaturally. The kind of love that forgives the unforgivable, serves without expecting anything back, and lays down its life for others—that’s the love God poured out on the cross. Jesus: The Perfect Picture of Love The greatest example of love the world has ever known is Jesus Christ. He didn’t wait for us to be perfect before loving us. “But God shows his love for us in that while we wer...
