Your question has a logical fallacy called begging the question. You assume there is a god when there is no good evidence for a god. Logically, I cannot accept your premise that God exists and therefore that there could be a true religion. Since you have no good evidence, it's more likely that there is no god and that all religions are false.

When Jehovah God sent Jesus to us, Jesus had God's full authority to teach us...So god wants a certain standard...Like any teacher, he wants his 'pupils' to reach their full potential. And to do that we must have rules. And those rules are the Bible. God gave the Jews 600 laws through the prophets..then sent Jesus who converted them all to TWO.
(Matthew 22:37-40) He said to him: “‘You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.’ 38 This is the greatest and first commandment. 39 The second, like it, is this, ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments the whole Law hangs, and the Prophets.”
So these two in fact supplanted the 600...Did not change them, but supplanted them.
The true religion from God's viewpoint is the obedient one. And only one obeys Matthew 28; 19,20. It is obeyed by every member, not just a leading few.

Surly, it's Islam - the relegion of the all prophets.
3:19((Surely the (true) religion with Allah is Islam, and those to whom the Book had been given did not show opposition but after knowledge had come to them, out of envy among themselves; and whoever disbelieves in the communications of Allah then surely Allah is quick in reckoning))
3:85 ((And whoever desires a religion other than Islam, it shall not be accepted from him, and in the hereafter he shall be one of the losers))

Not likely. True people, yes, but why would God favor any religion since religions are all man made?

Who could presume to answer from God's standpoint?
by Gonforgood on April 7th, 2009
There is no "religion" in God's eyes only absolute truth and lies. He created, left us a record of His purposes and reasons and is waiting for all who will find Him to do so.
by The Devils Own on April 7th, 2009
Nope. God doesn't exist and doesn't have a standpoint.
by Dave2222 on March 18th, 2009
Seems everyone knows God better then he does.

God's standpoint?? Why ask us? Ask God..geez whoever dares to heresy is at risk of being babercued..heehee

no , just TRUE FAITH which is all Noah, Abraham, Moses had...no "religion" and neither do we need it...Just the WORD..
by Moongrim on April 7th, 2009
The problem bub, is you're asking the wrong folks.
Every religious fanatic out there is gonna try and tell you that his favorite cult is the only true religion.
And they're gonna use some MAJOR time circular logic to justify their position.
Perhaps you could try asking the God person instead.
Instead of us mere mortals.
by hedge-rider on April 7th, 2009
I'd assume not.
Relgions are man's creations meant to find a way to connect with his deity/deities while communing with others with similar beliefs.
by thatsJustme on March 30th, 2009
no , just the heart from God's standpoint and the belief in HIM as the FATHER,SON and HOLY SPIRIT...:justmeandmyGodisn'tislam
by Dave2222 on March 22nd, 2009
I believe so and it's not one of those thousands of christen churches who claim to be the one and only. He started one religion not 30,000
by Anoname on March 18th, 2009
God answers this question directly in Isaah when He said that the religion that He finds no fault with is to help the widows and fatherless and to come to the defence of people in need. I don't carry an Old Testiment Bible on me so that's not an exact quote but it is very close.
by ScienceSwamy on August 14th, 2009
That would be atheism then!
It's the only ONE belief-system which has no sects
(but a lot of sex-appeal)
It's like 'God’, who MUST BE an atheist,
started a game of hide-and-seek with its creation,
He set off the ‘Big Bang’ and left,
it to evolve without any further interference.
People searching for god[s] don’t know the ‘player’ has left
They believe the ‘creator’s hiding and the game is still on!
Atheism is the only ONE belief-system which has no sects, and would never have any, guaranteed!
by ScienceSwamy on August 14th, 2009
There is only ONE true religion
and each God has it!
(Just like there is only one 'most beautiful child'
and every mother has it...
or
there is only one 'sexy wife'
and every neighbor has it!
;-))

Well, God recited the Holy Qur'an so it has to be Islam. Salaam
by JESUS-IS-MUSLIM on March 18th, 2009
As there is only ONE GOD, there must be only ONE TRUE Religion.
This true religion must be perfect and comprehensive that covers, in addition to the spiritual dimensions, all aspects of life, relationships, politics,ecconomy etc... This true religion must not be just a personal religion but a complete way of living.
The true religion must answer all your questions about everything like: God, the universe, the creation, life, the purpose of life, death, and life after death.
When the claims of truth become many, we as Muslims were ordered by Allah to seek the Truth by the proof, by the proof the Truth is known, because always there is only One Truth Which is the real truth.
"We (Allah) will show you (mankind) Our signs/patterns in the horizons/universe and in yourselves until you are convinced that the revelation is the truth." [The Noble Quran, 14:53]
The perfect compatibility MIRACLES OF Quran (which was revealed 14 centuries ago) with modern established Scientific facts proves that this Book could not be authored by man, rather a greater source had to have been the author of this Book. If you want to check that I invite you to visit this site http://www.Islam-guide.com/
Islam is not a new religion but the final culmination and fulfillment of the same basic truth that ALLAH (God) revealed through all His prophets to every people.
"Truly, the religion with Allah (God) is Islam. Those who were given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) did not differ except, out of mutual jealousy, after knowledge had come to them. And whoever disbelieves in the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah, then surely, Allah is Swift in calling to account." [The Noble Quran 3:19]
Narrated Abu Huraira : prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "Every child is born with a true faith of Islam (i.e. to worship none but Allah Alone) but his parents convert him to Judaism, Christianity or Magainism, as an animal delivers a perfect baby animal. Do you find it mutilated?"

Let us not get stuck on whether God exists or not. That is a major issue which fully deserves its own separate question. Let us just assume, for the purposes of this question, that He does.
You'll agree, the best source for Obama's standpoint on any issue is of course, Obama himself. However, we can't just approach Obama for his standpoint on any issue, but if we have access to a book he has written, or commissioned to be written, about himself, we might find his standpoint in it.
Similarly, you'll agree, the best source for (the assumed) God's standpoint on any issue is of course, (the assumed) God Himself. However, we can't just approach (the assumed) God for His standpoint on any issue, but if we have access to the books claimed to be written, or inspired, by Him, we might find His standpoint in them.
Some of these books are the Holy Vedas, the Holy Old Testament, the Holy New Testament and the Holy Qur'an (HQ)
We search each book with two search parameters. We want verses containing two things
a- the name (be it a word or a phrase) of the religion it is teaching and
b- (the assumed) God's standpoint on it.
Strangely (don't DR me, you can check it out for yourself) only the HQ has verses that satisfy both the search parameters. There are ten verses which clearly state (the assumed) God's standpoint, two of which I quote immediately below (for completion the other seven are quoted at the end):
1 "Certainly the religion (that is true) from God's standpoint is SUBMISSION TO THE WILL OF GOD" HQ 3:19
2 "Anyone that desires a religion other than SUBMISSION TO THE WILL OF GOD never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of the losers" HQ 3:85
As you can see there are no surprises. If God exists he would surely want you to SUBMIT TO HIS WILL, meaning to follow His instructions.
Jesus taught SUBMISSION TO THE WILL OF GOD. According to Matthew 7:21 Jesus said “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but HE THAT DOETH THE WILL OF MY FATHER which is in heaven.” We can see from his declaration in John 5:30, "I SEEK not mine own will, but THE WILL OF THE FATHER WHIC HATH SENT ME" that Jesus SUBMITTED TO THE WILL OF GOD
You see, SUBMISSION TO THE WILL OF GOD, in one word, is ISLAM.
Further evidence of the true religion from God's standpoint.
3 "Do they seek (a religion) other than the Religion of God, when all that are in the heavens and on earth have, willing or unwilling, accepted SUBMISSION TO THE WILL OF GOD" HQ 3:83
4 "O ye who believe! Be aware of God the way you should rightfully be aware of Him, and (make sure) you do not die except in a state of SUBMISSION TO THE WILL OF GOD" HQ 3:102
5 "This day have I (your God) perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you SUBMISSION TO THE WILL OF GOD as your religion" HQ 5:3
6 "Those whom God willeth to guide He (lightens and) opens up their breast to SUBMISSION TO THE WILL OF GOD" HQ 6:125
7 "I have been commanded to be of those who have accepted SUBMISSION TO THE WILL OF GOD" HQ 10:72 and HQ 27:91
8 "Thus does God complete His favours on you, that ye may accept SUBMISSION TO THE WILL OF GOD " HQ 16:81
9 "Your God is One God so become ye SUBMITTERS TO THE WILL OF GOD: and give thou the good news to those who humble themselves" HQ 22:34
10 "Who is more unjust than the one who invents falsehood against God, even as he is being invited to SUBMISSION TO THE WILL OF GOD?" HQ 61:7
by pugwashjw65 on August 13th, 2009
Granted that a religion is a group of people who wish to do what God asks, then the group that has God's approval is the one that is fully obedient to what God's SON asked...
Matthew 28; 19,20
And who uses respectfully, God's NAME, and not just his TITLE.
(Exodus 6:3) And I used to appear to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as God Almighty, but as respects my name Jehovah I did not make myself known to them.
God Almighty is His title...
Jehovah [ YHWH ] is His NAME.

There is no true religion on earth until Jesus has come back and created this true religion, until then there are only scattered people who God identifies as his flock.
by DrRvaldez on November 3rd, 2009
There is I believe two correct answers if you don't believe the Bible was inspired by YAHWEH(YHVH or YHWH) or Commonly known as JEHOVA(psalms 83:18). Then you must fall back on your own inner spirituality. Not spirituality in going to church but by knowing ones inner self. The answer is simple if you cannot get in touch with your inner self. Does GOD really care about religion or the way you treat his creations. Example If you walked into someones house who let say is a creator of art. You don't know their house rules, wouldn't you be very careful,courteous and respectful in all you do.
Do you think that the creator of the art work in whose house you are in be mad or displeased that you are being considerate. No, of course not, the same principle is applied with god, creator or supreme being. As long as you are true and you know right from wrong and abide by your inner self there is no wrong religion.
If you believe in the Old testament Judaism is the way.
New testament Christianity is the way.
The book of Mormons then Mormonism is the way
You get my point. By the way very good topic

As the story goes "on this rock I will build my church"
my church refers to one. He also said beware of false prophets that come in my name. He also said do not add or take away from my words. I haven't made up my mind either way but if in fact he's fact. All those prophets that claim to talk to god are nuts and the relgions that rewrote the bible to their liken are as phony as a three dollar bill and if you don't like it to bad and yes you have the right to defend the people who are screwing you
although at this time I can't figure out why. They have you do their bidding and you do it well without a squawk the part about the peple that left you're church didn't leave because they wer bad they just happened to find the truth

All religions are supposed to be the path to God, the ultimate wisdom or truth. So From God's standpoint, all religions are good.
There is nothing like true religion or true God.
