Which religion should I convert to?
It appears that there is no one to convers with on this thread. Only those who would rather spread hate and condemn others. Only false labels and Anonymous commenters hiding in the dark for their lack of knowledge, understanding, wisdom, truth and their inability of original thought. But they sure know how to cut & paste, if it wasn't for cut & paste they would have nothing good to say. I wish they could understand what it is they were cut & pasting.
You need to ask jameslee, not me. I don't pretend to know God and not believe in Jesus Christ is the Lord God Almighty and savior, I don't pretend to know God and not having accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord God and savior. You don't need to know my name, If you can read, you can see I believe in Jesus Christ, whatever my name might be. It makes no difference if I use Anonymous, frank, George, Tom, Jerry, Mike, Joe, Sam, Tim, John, whatever, I still believe in Jesus Christ is God My Lord God and savior, posting as Anonymous just as I would if I used a name. I do not hide that fact.

Ro 10:9,10-THAT IF THOU SHALT CONFESS WITH THY MOUTH THE LORD JESUS, AND SHALT BELIEVE IN THINE HEART THAT GOD HATH RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, THOU SHALT BE SAVED. FOR WITH THE HEART MAN BELIEVETH UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS; AND WITH THE MOUTH CONFESSION IS MADE UNTO SALVATION.
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. – Ephesians 6:12
Satan and his demons exercise a subtle influence over the world. The influence is subtle in that few people in the world really believe demonic influence is taking place. The results are not subtle at all; as we look around the world, we can see the high human cost of demonic control. The ultimate goal of Satan doesn't have that much to do with humans; we're just pawns in the game. His purpose is to get back at God, to try to hurt God, and the only way he can do this is to make humans go to hell with him. God Himself does not want anyone to go to hell. 2 Peter 3:9 says, "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance." Unfortunately, through demonic deception, the majority of people alive today and throughout history will be going to hell. For Satan, it is a numbers game. The more people he deceives, the more will go to hell, and the more he hurts God. For people who have been saved by Jesus Christ, there is nothing Satan can do about their eternal destiny. However, through deceit, he can render the witness of a Christian ineffective and keep them from influencing others to repent and believe in Jesus Christ for their salvation, and he can certainly cause a great deal of injury and pain to Christians in this world who will give him the opportunity through partaking in sin. So it is important then to be able to see the earmarks of Satan's more subtle working in this world. When we see violence, bloodshed, theft, and vice, most of us as Christians understand Satan's influence is behind those things. Yet, he has more subtle ways of operating that are not apparent to everyone. Identifying Satan's more subtle work requires knowing his techniques and evaluating what is happening in light of his ultimate goal. Perversion Underlies Satan's Technique Most people, hearing the word "perversion," immediately associate it with weird sexual activity. That is only one facet of perversion, which is much more far reaching. In essence, perversion is nothing more than the denial of essential differences in an effort to homogenize everything, that is, to bring everything down to the same level. Janine Chassguet-Smirgel is a French thinker who has studied the nature of perversion perhaps more than anyone else in the world. She "describes the essence of perversion as an attempt to break down all categories, particularly between genders, and between the generations."1 This is a very astute observation by Chassguet-Smirgel. Her statement led me to contemplate the notion that the perverted breaking down of categories is at the root of Satan's strategy in deceiving the world. In his first dealing with humanity, Satan employed perversion to convince humans they could be the same as God. He told Eve they could overcome this basic difference. In Genesis 3:4,5 we read, "Then the serpent said to the woman, ‘You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.’" Isaiah 5:20 seems to make reference to the denial of differences as well, saying, "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" Satan's Plan for Religious Generalists There is a special category of people who believe in a nebulous higher power and believe that all religions are basically interpretations of the same force in the universe. These people believe there is good in all religions, and would be unsure if there was any one religion more right than all others. Do you see the perversion in that, the denial of differences? Every religion by necessity denies that all others are true, but the generally religious deny that difference between religions. Since there is perversion there, and since it serves Satan's purpose, it is easily identified as Satan's strategy. No one who really believes in Christ can have anything to do with non-Christian religion, so adherents to the "generally religious" systems are unsaved. Their adherents, God's creations, will go to hell with Satan, causing a measure of grief for the Lord. Two manifestations of the generally religious are the Bahai Faith and the Masons. The Bahai faith teaches that Zoroaster, Jesus Christ, Mohammed and Bahaullah were all manifestations of God, and seeks a universal religion based on the essential identity of the great religions. The Masons embrace all religions that recognize a higher power. The "mysteries" are kept from most Masons, but at the higher degrees Masons are taught that all religions are really based on people's interpretations of Masonry's god, a trinity composed of Jehovah, Baal and Osiris called "Jahbulon". This statement alone expresses an unspeakably blasphemous impossibility and denial of the difference between good and evil. Satan's Plan for the Christian Church Satan's plan for the Christian church is to de-emphasize critical doctrinal differences until the teachings of Christian churches become logically incoherent to the point that no rational person will believe them. This is being accomplished at a dramatic rate by the ecumenical efforts of the Roman Catholic Church and the World Council of Churches. A combined Catholic-Protestant position would be difficult to even express, almost Monty-Pythonesque in its irrationality. I will attempt to express it as, "All you have to do to be saved is accept Christ, but this alone may or may not assure you of eternal salvation. We are generally agreed that it does not, but there are a few dissenting parties who adhere to a theory of 'eternal security'. Most of us would say that further good works on your part will be necessary, which may or may not involve sacraments, most likely including baptism and the Lord's supper or 'eucharist', which may or may not be Christ's real body and blood, an intermingling of the elements of Christ's body with the bread and blood with the wine, or merely bread and wine representative of Christ's body and blood, and possibly the necessary sacraments extend to confirmation, penance, holy orders and extreme unction, the last three of which are available only through our Catholic representatives." The interesting part of this message is that not a word of it expresses Jesus Christ's call to salvation, which is stated so simply, "Repent, and believe in the gospel" (Mark 1:15b). The gospel, or "good news," was expressed by Paul as follows. "Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures" (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). Anything less than this does not lead to salvation. (Liberal Protestant denominations generally do not require even their ministers to believe in the resurrection of Jesus.) Anything more than this simple call to repentance and faith is not only unnecessary but counterproductive. This is the crux of what is wrong with the ecumenical message, this counterproductivity. Presented with the ecumenical message, a person wanting to be saved would naturally want to do the maximum of the things presented in the message, basically, to become a Catholic in order to get the full range of "good works" in that might be necessary for salvation. Unfortunately, anyone believing that they have to go through rituals to be saved now relies on the rituals, not on Christ alone, for their salvation. In so doing, they show they do not actually believe the gospel message at all, and are going to hell because they do not believe. Isaiah 64:6 says, "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away." No good works on our part will save us, and believing that they will help is tantamount to believing Christ alone is insufficient for our salvation. Good works are the evidence of a salvation already received. In truth, most people presented with an insanely complex and self-contradictory statement like the "ecumenical message" would simply abandon Christianity as being too irrational to possibly be true, and even if it was true, too complex to ever be done properly. So the devil's main strategy in ecumenism would be to prevent people from even considering the Christian message. So, in ecumenism, we see a denial of differences (in this case doctrinal differences) that leads to people not being saved, because they trust rituals and good works for their salvation in addition to Christ, or because it prevents people from responding to the Christian message. It becomes obvious then that ecumenism conforms to the Satanic strategy in every detail.

You are conversing with a lie. The statement you have asked a question about from Anonymous comment is only more deception. It is something I wrote and then used from one unable to converse in an intelligent way. They are not here to preach, teach, or even share; they are here to cause problems by deception, for there is no need for attack. As for why they hide, it has been explained many times. They hide because by hiding they do not have to be consistent in anything they say. They can be a Jew, Christian, a follower of Islam, Atheist, or what ever they want in order to deceive. Their attack is on me because of their own inadequacy. Anonymous answers you by stating that if you can read you can see that he believes in Jesus Christ. Cut & pasting 101 scripture is not reflecting who or what this person is, it is the statements they make from their soul that is the tell. Attacking and using parts of other people’s statements is saying something. Is the scripture they are cut & pasting inline with segments that they write.? “Out of the abundance of the heart we all speak.” Those believing or not believing are known by their behavior, not what others write or cut & paste scripture. Those without a profile and those using Anonymous on this thread are mostly deceivers. And I am sure that most that are in the light are consistence in what they say when using their own label. Would also say that many of those who know God intuitively know the truth. Jesus the Christ is my strength and I do not hide. Has it not been made clear that only mankind condemns himself and others and those in Christ do not condemn, anyone who knows the scriptures and Jesus the Christ would know that he does not condemn. Mankind was condemn through Adam by way of his offence and bring sin into this world. Mankind condemns themselves because of Adam and mankind is justified by way of Jesus the Christ, freed from condemnation.
Jameslee You said "Has it not been made clear that only mankind condemns himself and others and those in Christ do not condemn, anyone who knows the scriptures and Jesus the Christ would know that he does not condemn." Those who know Christ Jesus know's they don't have the power to condemn, so why pretend ? We can post what Jesus said but many do not post what Jesus said in the context that he said it. Reading between the lines is very difficult for most. A good example of that would be when Jesus sat down with a tax collector and drank wine. Jesus knew how much Matthew was hated, and He (Jesus) did the right thing, not the obvious thing.

Those who know Jesus the Christ know that as the Body of Christ that Jesus has instructed them not to condemn. And those who do condemn are condemned already, from and because of the offence of Adam. Jesus the Christ is our transformation from condemnation to the righteousness of God. Jesus did not come to condemn the world but to save it. So why pretend is a good question. So it is that they are not pretending because they have not reached that level of Christian knowledge. Or they are not pretending because they don’t know because they are not really Christian. As for reading between the lines when it comes to original thought, one only need to follow their heart because the heart is either in alignment with the spirit or with the ego. Therefore this type of personal evaluation says more about us then the one being scrutinized. So when reading between the lines just be your self but make sure that self is worth being. Just like you know that Jesus did the right thing and not the obvious says a lot about Jesus and about yourself.

Welcome back, and you are right they are not worth it, but he/she could be if he/she would share their self in the light rather then deceiving their self in the dark.
Amen Jameslee !
Mike and anyone else, believe what you will, I don't care what jameslee says, jameslee is a lie, what he teaches can not be found in the bible. It is not the gospel of Jesus Christ the word of God in the bible. He goes nuts when the truth is posted about him and what he believes. I feel sorry for anyone who believes his lie. May God help them. jameslee takes the name, Jesus Christ and twist it like a pretzel. To him, Jesus is the man and Christ is the Christ consciousness within us. His focus is within (SELF) not on Calvary where Jesus died for our sins. In his occultic mumbo-jumbo there is no personal Christ as Savior just an impersonal force like gravity. Christian Science and many splinter groups in New Age are known as Mind Science cults because they believe sin is illusions of the mind. Another of jameslee's New Age cults characteristic that is true , is the denial of the biblical doctrine of salvation by faith in Jesus Christ and His finished work on the cross. In jameslee's teaching, salvation comes by recognizing (SELF) his inherent divinity and his oneness with God. Salvation, according to jameslee, comes by recognizing his divine nature. jameslee does not recognize the Atonement of Christ but rather seeks what Eastern mystics refer to as at-one-ment or realizing oneness with the divine on a spiritual level. As you can see, jameslee does not recognize the work of Christ on the cross (the Atonement) jameslee's salvation is not based on biblical teaching. To the contrary, it is heavily influenced by Eastern thought and belief. jameslee's beliefs is of a classic New Age cult and is not Christian in any aspect of its doctrine or teaching. In other words jameslee believes he is a god, or can become a god.
Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?
?
They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
