It's good that you're taking time to explore different religions and find what feels right to you. Changing faiths is a big decision.
From what I've seen, Christianity does seem more about love and acceptance than other faiths. Jesus preached treating everyone with kindness, helping the poor, forgiving others - all that good stuff. That "love thy neighbor" thing really resonates with me.
Catholicism specifically does have a long history and beautiful art/architecture too. The rituals and symbols seem pretty cool. And the community aspect of church could be nice to be a part of.
At the same time, definitely keep asking questions before fully committing. Keep learning about what Christians actually believe deeper down. Make sure it's a faith you fully understand and support the core ideas of, not just the surface level stuff.
Maybe also talk to people from both religions honestly about your thoughts. Get different perspectives on the pros and cons. Then follow what calls to your heart and values the most. As long as you feel Christianity is the path of love and God for you, that's what matters. But explore it thoroughly first.
Good luck on your spiritual journey! You'll figure out the right path in time.
In THIS particular existence (life) you have access to myriad options, and choosing can be... and IS 'daunting' BUT... keep in mind, 'You' the 'you' that exists as YOUR unique consciousness... WILL one day (by our perception) WILL stand before your Maker and BE held to account for the (perception of) 'time' You had been given. THAT is the weighty 'burden' / 'gift' of "free will"~
Now, we observe that each species is predisposed hereditarily to conduct themselves in specific ways. THESE are the 'character' of that particular species... the 'norm'.
Humanity has by both choice and circumstance, abridged & layered SO MANY exceptions and/ modifications to this 'normality' based upon affiliation and generational beliefs that YOU CHOOSE to 'buy into' to govern YOUR behavior; ... and, to which YOU PERSONALLY be held to account for. Asked to explain 'why' you did or didn't do or NOT do. MANY find this too personally daunting~
The is a European species of ground rodent called a 'Lemming' whose ancestral DNA predisposes it to a particular kind of migrational madness which drives it to travel to leap off of a cliff where generations ago, once there had been an ancient land bridge. The majority fall into the north sea, swimming until they exhausted, can swim no more, and drown. And, those, whom for whatever reason, did NOT follow their fellow masses, remain... mate, reproduce and CONTINUE their species.
Most Abrahamic-based religions (Christianity included) have an equivalent passage as found to be the Creator's admonition in the Old Testament of Genesis: "Go forth. Be fruitful and multiply..." But... ULTIMATELY the CHOICE and BURDEN rests upon YOU and for which YOU PERSONALLY will one da be call to account for to the UN-gendered MAKER of EVERYTHING. PEACE & So Mote This Be! ~

That's true, it's not because i'm christian i'm saying this, it's because after seeing and searching about all religions i found out that i'm on the right path...
The jews were the ones to start religion but they stopped in the middle of the road cause they didn't believe in Jesus whom they spent their whole lives preaching about his coming, while muslims took words from the old and new testament and made a mix to the words of mohamed with it, which aren't so accurate cause mohamed added so much of his lifestyle in it which cannot be considered as holy or sacred, while christianity is the real path of wisdom and faith...
In the end each person is free to choose where he/she finds where they fit the most...
Eh, every religion has their positives and negatives probably. I don't think Christianity is flawless by any means either. It's very flawed.
Personally, if you're browsing for things to believe in, I would recommend taking a look at "Toward the Light!". The name is so dramatic, and you can think what you will of what the book says, but at least it makes for some entertaining story :p
It's available for free on Google's Play Books app. Skip the "Statement" at the beginning of the book and just jump right in.
Nothing but love in that book :) As it should be.
Christians are no more full of love and compassion than Muslims. Fundamentalist Christians are just as hateful and power-hungry as fundamentalist Muslims. The only difference is that western nations are liberal democracies with a tradition of freedom of conscience since the 18th century.
In 1688 Emanuel Swedenborg was born. At or in his 50s he used psychic powers 2 talk 2 soul guides. One of the things he talkd about that peopl who've had current near death experiences hav said is that Christians n non-Christians go 2 heavn.
Someone did research on near deaths n said God doesn't care what religion u r. Emanuel did say Jesus came 2 teach the Jews right n that God knew what would happn 2 Jesus like the New Testament say's.
Whateva religion u r, common sense tells u what's right n wrong.
Not lately sadly, but it's still better than Islam. I know Christianity seems to be about love, but it really isn't. If you do convert, convert either to Catholicism or Orthodox. Avoid the Protestant religions like the plague. They're almost as bad as Islam, minus the head chopping.
u It is. And as it so happens, I am a certified Catholic Catechist. Basically that means I can teach the Faith to those who are interested or seeking it, like yourself.
I am happy to help you if you would like 😊
Like with all religion, whether its the right path is up to you. You have to do a lot of research. You also have to realize that no matter what religion you choose there are always going to be unanswered questions. What it comes down to is what makes you happy and the most at peace
I have also realized that, I've noticed they put men on a pedestal and the truth is that God loves all of his creation, women as well, actually he made women for the man which makes women an important piece in society.
if your concern is women, can a woman be pope or preist? only pure bible allows women leaders, in book romans and judges, not islam nor catholic nor budha.
Believe what you want but organized religion is hogwash. It gives you a sense of belonging to something or a group, but at the same time you have a bunch of self-righteous people judging you who are no better than you
Don't listen to the leftists saying don't become a part of the faithful. They're just godless souls that worship government.
Christianity is the Right Path for Christians.
If you really want to know the correct answer, you must go to a sheikh or imam of a mosque, who has a lot of knowledge and knowledge of religion. He will tell you the correct answer, there is no compulsion in religion.
Jesus is the way the truth and the life John 14 vs 6
No religion is; science is the only way forward. Religion teaches you to hate people who don't believe in the same faith by giving them labels. Religion is also harsh on women. And, till now, there's no evidence of God!
u Yes it is please go to christianity and stay there ✝️
No. It's just a religion. There are lots of those. There is nothing right or wrong about having a religion.
the right path to what? you can't know what the right way is, if you don't know the destination.
If your feeling love from Christianity that's your answer
NO religion has ALL the answers, so choose what works for you! Just practice whatever religion you want with open eyes.
