IF YOU WANTED TO KNOW about Christianity you would go to a Church
Well not necessarily, as the Worldwide Church is divided into over 35,000 denominations, and there are over 300 in the UK alone. There may be several in your locality and they all differ in their teaching. They differ mainly for historical reasons. They have all come into existence at different times. Some as recently as the 19th and 20th centuries.

IF YOU WANTED TO KNOW about the non Christian religions you might not expect to include Roman Catholicism in that but you would be wrong. Roman Catholicism started about 3 centuries after the first Christian Church was formed in Jerusalem and then spread. Roman Catholicism swamped and large destroyed real Christianity and it took the Reformation in the 15th -17th centuries to recover but there are still about a billion Roman Catholics, though they are widely divided.

Has Anyone heard of the Queen James Bible? It is the Bible of the Gay Movement.
It is based on the Church of England's Authorised Version 4th Revision 1769, That is the AV or King James Version still in publication and usage. The original AV of 1611 went out of publication about 200 years ago.
The difference between the KJV 1769 and the QJV 1769 is that all the passages about homosexualism have been altered to fit the teaching of the Gay Movement. They could not do it with modern English translation as it would be an attack on copyright.
For more information about this version of the Bible, and on the errors of Homosexualism teaching access www.carm.org The Website of Christian Apologetics & Research Ministry.

No confidence of forgiveness or eternity with God
About Islam
Islam is a monotheistic religion based on the text of the Quran, believed by adherents of the faith to be the literal word of God, and on the leadership of the prophet Muhammad. The core profession of this belief is the shahada: "There is no god but God and Muhammad is the prophet of God." Followers of Islam are known as Muslims. Islam is the third of the Abrahamic faiths, the first two being Judaism and Christianity. Muslims affirm the divine origin of these faiths through the line of prophets from Adam to Jesus, but believe that the Quran is the authoritative, complete and final revelation of God. The core practices of Islam are known as the five pillars of Islam -- faith, prayer, almsgiving, fasting and pilgrimage.
About Hinduism
Hinduism, also known as Sanatana Dharma, is the religious tradition indigenous to the Indian subcontinent with about 950 million followers worldwide, making it the third largest religious system in the world. Hinduism differs from most religions in that there is no particular theological belief or set of doctrines that unites all its adherents. The goal of the Hindu path ismoksha (literally, 'release'), understood to be liberation from samsara (repeated cycle of birth and death), and this is achieved by piercing the veil of maya (illusion). Some widespread Hindu philosophical concepts and practices arekarma (cycle of cause and effect), dharma(religious duty or obligation), reincarnation andyoga. There is no one book that is considered sacred by all Hindus, but the Vedas,Upanishads, and the Bhagavad Gita are revered by most Hindus. Come back to this page often for news stories, blog posts, music, and scripture commentary.
About Buddhism
Buddhism is a religion and philosophy encompassing a variety of traditions, beliefs and practices, largely based on teachings attributed to Siddhartha Gautama, commonly known as the Buddha (“the awakened one”). Three major branches of Buddhism are recognized: Theravada, Mahayana andVajrayana. Buddhist scriptures and texts exist in great variety, and unlike many religions, Buddhism has no single central text that is universally referred to by all traditions. The foundations of Buddhist tradition and practice are the Three Jewels: the Buddha, the Dharma (teachings) and the Sangha (the community).The Four Noble Truths, the first teachings of Gautama Buddha after attaining nirvana (state of mind free from suffering) are sometimes considered to contain the essence of the Buddha’s teachings. The Four Noble Truths emphasize that suffering (dukkha) exists, and that it arises from attachment to desires. Cessation of desire leads to freedom from suffering, and freedom from suffering is achieved by practicing the Noble Eightfold Path. The number of Buddhists is estimated at around 350 million making it the world’s fourth largest religion.
About Judaism
Stretching 4,000 years back to its patriarchAbraham, Judaism is one of the oldest monotheistic religions in the world. A Jew is anyone who is born of a Jewish mother or who has converted in accordance with Jewish law. The foundation of Jewish law (halakha) and tradition is the Torah (also known as the Pentateuch or the Five Book of Moses: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy). Additional authoritative texts include the Talmud and the Midrash. Observant Jews recite prayers three times daily, with a fourth prayer added on the Sabbath and holidays. The Shema Yisrael ("Hear, O Israel: the Lord is our God, the Lord is one") is a centerpiece of Jewish prayer services and encapsulates the monotheistic essence of Judaism. The Sabbath commemorates God’s day of rest after six days of creation. Widely observed Jewish holidays are Rosh Hashanah,Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Purim, Shavuot andHanukkah. In 2010, the world Jewish population was estimated at 13.4 million, or roughly 0.2 percent of the total world population.
