5 Preface From the beginning of human history until this present age, religion has existed and still exists on every continent of the world. Religion affects every aspect of life. It influences literature, social life, medicine, art, music, politics, education, government, warfare, and more. There are innumerable systems of religion, religious beliefs and religious practices throughout the world. Finding the one religion of the Bible is much easier than finding a single tree in a forest. However, one s study of the Holy Bible should be done prayerfully, cautiously and studiously. In this Twenty-First Century, we live in a very transit society. It is not only possible but very probable that within your lifetime you will meet people from other countries and with religious beliefs different from your own. Having a better understanding of such beliefs is extremely valuable in communicating your own beliefs more effectively and working toward the unity of the

6 Spirit in the bond of peace. I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Paul, an Apostle of Christ (Ephesians 4:1-3 Holy Bible). I hope that you will benefit as much from reading this book as I have gained from writing it. Gilbert Tripp March 2009

9 Introduction What is this study about? This is not an attempt to study all the religions of the world. It is not an effort to compare religion against religion, nor religion against various eastern religious myths and legends. It is not about comparing world religions against what educators, philosophers, politicians, rulers, or theologians may have said. It is a concentrated, comprehensive, comparative study of major world religions with the focus on comparing each one with the teaching of the Holy Bible. Some claim such a comparison of world religions or even of Biblical doctrine is comparable to a blind man trying to describe an elephant who comes to many different conclusions as to what the elephant actually looks like. Our purpose here is to compare spiritual things with spiritual (2 Corinthians 2:13 Holy Bible). If you begin with an erroneous premise, you will arrive at an erroneous conclusion. 1

10 This study deals with many areas of information which are valuable in forming sound conclusions as pertaining to any religion under consideration. The following factors relating to each group under consideration will be (as much as is reasonably possible) included in this study: (a) The founder (or founders), and other key persons; (b) Characteristics of the group, such as core beliefs, authority, hierarchy (the group s organization); (c) What the group teaches relative to salvation, worship, church organization, and other doctrinal issues; (d) Plus a variety of other matters pertaining to religion. This study begins with the religion as revealed by the Lord God in His word (the Holy Bible) and its progression throughout history and the various departures from that religion until this present time. The opinions and practices prevalent concerning religion in the Twenty-First Century will be dealt with in light of their influences upon the Christ s church. 2
