What God Means to You

Religions of the World.

Throughout history there has been evidence that all religions come from the same background. Religion is a personal awareness of the existence of a supreme being who influences their lives.

There are three common aspects or similarities that the religions of the world share.

Prayer- In every religion around the world there is prayer. Whether alone or with a group. Prayer is one of the most common grounds for religious people who pray often. In Christianity the Christians and Roman Catholics pray to God. In the Islamic religion the followers pray to Allah, their Holy and spiritual leader. Buddhist often prayer to Buddha. Prayer is a way for the followers of religion to communicate with their essential leader or their God. In Bradley's 7 categories Salvation depends on following your Gods will and praying to him for forgiveness.

The second common ground in all religions of the world is the belief of one Holy symbol, God, or being. Most religions are monotheistic. They believe in one God. Many great and respected figures like Allah, Abraham, Jesus, Buddha, Zarathustra, and Lao-tzu. All of these Gods were great in their own religion and they built a path for their worshipers to follow. A key term in defining a great leader or rather a God is Deity. This tells the similarities and differences of the Gods and their certain religions.

The final common ground of all the religions of the world is Holy Scriptures.

There is the Bible, The Torah, the Gathas, and the Qu'ran. These are widely known as some of the most important scriptures of religion throughout the world. Every worshiper of their religion reads and follows the teachings of their sacred scripture to live a life according to their God and because it's Human nature. The Torah is the first five books of the Old Testament. The Bible by far is the most recognized book of scriptures and Holy scrolls in the world. It tells of the beginning to the end and it includes all of the parables of Jesus' prophets. The Qu'ran talks about the life of Allah and the great Muhammad. It tells of their journeys and the experiences they encountered along the way. The most important part of the Qu'ran is the teachings on how to become a Muslim and the sacrifices you have to give up to please Allah
