Which religion is right?
Disclaimer: I have no professional background in this but I can put two and two together and use pattern recognition to identify which is correct. It seems to me that many of those who claim to be professionals and getting paid to do this sort of stuff have really slacked off and laypeople like myself have to do the heavy lifting. Someone's gotta do it.
I'm not asking you to believe me, all I'm saying is to check it out.

They say death and taxes are certain.
I doubt it.
A small percentage of the world's population will be taken in the rapture (Jesus removes His own from Earth, not aliens).
Taxes can be optimised so you're paying no more than your fair share (most people like to pay more).

You don't go on vacation ☠️ without packing the right stuff ✝️, otherwise it's a lousy 🔥 vacation ☠️

If I'm wrong, I've wasted my life.
If you're wrong, you've burned your bridge ✝️ to a quality vacation ☠️ (eternity).

Is there life after "death"
There are many religions but only one empty tomb.
Most religions have similarities in their messages for the life here and now.
The world's religions say you have to do works and maybe (that big maybe, no guarantee!) you'll be saved.
Some people think that we are gods (the same problem outlined in Genesis 3 - it didn't end well for them). There's some things in life (and death) that we simply can't do under our own strength.
Only Jesus laid claim to being the only way to Heaven (John 14:6, Acts 4:12) after this life is finished, and proved it with His Death, burial, and resurrection, all fulfilled with impeccable accuracy as prophesied centuries before the fact).
Jesus volunteered as the sacrifice to fulfill the law.
Muhammad even said he doesn't even know where he goes when he dies (Quran 46:9). What sort of hope is that!?
Many people have their own encounter stories of Jesus and they all have similarities.
What does that tell you!?

• Hollywood movies depict interdimensional and paranormal phenomenon.
• People believe in lucky charms and it works - for a while...
• People complain of paranormal attacks in the middle of the night.
If the above are true and / or likely, is there any reason to doubt that Jesus is worth looking in to?

The apostle Paul dilemma:
World religions say works = the possibility of salvation.
Some people say belief in Jesus + works = the possibility of salvation.
Others say belief in Jesus alone = salvation.
Others say once you've prayed a prayer, you can forget it all happened, live how you want and you'll be saved.
Which one is it!?
No one is without sin and will ever be perfect this side of eternity, but we can make a go of improving. Need ideas? Try Ephesians 4:30. As examples: You can't go cheating on your spouse, ripping people off, or scamming others. If you're living like that with no regard or remorse, you have to wonder if you're saved at all.



• God is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
• The Old Testament shows examples of grace / leniency.
• Jesus is available to both Jew and Greek.
• Parts of Apostle Paul's message is consistent with the other guys.

Some people say that the apostle Paul's message is for the Gentiles and Jesus' message is for the Jews, but Paul even said that he is based on Jesus.
Romans 6:1-2 - “Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid.”
Titus 2:11-12 - “The grace of God… teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts.”
Paul literally told the Church to judge sin inside the body in 1 Corinthians 5
Hebrews 10:26 gives a sobering warning about continuing deliberately in sin while treating grace casually.

The Gospel is not:
“Live however you want and God will overlook it.”
The Gospel is:
Repent.
Be born again.
Be transformed.
Walk with Christ.
Grace is not a license to stay bound.
Grace is the power to become free.

Biblically:
Speaking truth is not hatred.
Calling people to repentance is not abuse.
Warning people about sin is not condemnation.
If a doctor sees cancer and says nothing…that is not love.
The Church has become so afraid of offending people that many no longer preach repentance at all.

The evidence of salvation is not sinless perfection.
It is a transformed life that is progressively being sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

More on false teachers after these memes...
There's many false preachers too:
• 1 Timothy 6 (The love of money is the root of evil)
• 1 John 4 (Test the spirits)
• Galatians 1, 2 Corinthians 11 (Another Jesus, another gospel)
• Jude (a short read) if you're short on time.

False preachers:
• Teach stuff that isn't in the Bible
• Spin messages around a single verse (where their message is irrelevant to the rest of the chapter, taking scriptures out of context)
• Fail to teach critical biblical issues (such as ways to live godly / turning from sin, and / or not teaching about end times)
• Endorse one another.




False preachers usually quote Malachi 3, when if you want truth on giving and money, check 2 Corinthians 9 and 1 Timothy 6.
