hahaha weeeeeeeee confusion... i love it!!...
Human Truth, however, is created by the mind of man. There are, for example, certain sacred books: the Bible, the Koran, The Granth Sahib, the Sutras of Buddha, Tao Te Ching, Bhagavad Gita, etc., but these books are subject to the interpretation of the human mind; this way it seems like they do not express one single Truth. The Truth common to all of them can be found by one who has had experience of the Divine Truth: then he is able to interpret the Scriptures and see beyond the apparent divergences, emphasizing the points in common among the various scriptures. If we have not reached this Truth, naturally we have to use our mind; but unfortunately the mind is limited and not in a position to conceive of the Infinite and the Eternal. For this reason, from the numerous interpretations of the various scriptures, given throughout time, countless religions have been born.![]()

Actually more than 500 Christian sects and denominations can be counted. And if one looks into many other more particular branches, the religions that are inspired by the Bible are several thousands. In the same way, for what concerns the other Scriptures, there are numerous interpretations given by the human mind; sometimes they differ only in little details, but all these interpretations generate divisions, disagreements, disputes and wars. This is because, if it is TRUE that books contain the Truth, this truth needs to be interpreted by a person that has realized it practically. If you were given a study on surgery, medicine, or nuclear physics, I think it would be difficult for you to read and interpret correctly, and in the end to practice it the right way. Well, the sacred books are even more difficult than these sciences that I mentioned: they contain the principles of the Science of the Sciences, the experiences undergone from time to time by the great Souls that have appeared in various places, in different latitudes and climates.

Its true daghan og sects.
Ang Original mao jud ang daghan nga mo pirate, daghan mo immitate, but if you believe in the bibel, there is one religion among them is the true religion.
Mat 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Religion is nothing more than its invented by the Catholics and other Christian religio political or cultish group.
Your belief in God is not called religion its called faith. Basically religion is some sort of a set of culture or norms in a particular group of faith. Its based on human tradition and culture and its not based on the Bible. The Bible is not based on human culture but God's wisdom and logic so if you believe in the Bible you believe in God's wisdom and logic and not Human culture. Although it is written by human, it is not written based on human emotion, logic or culture but God's. That's why Its called God's word not human's word. Take for example the prophets in the Bible, they do not promote their own culture their own experiences, their own wisdom, but they preach the Gospel. Which is 100% does not come from or influenced by Human but God's. Not to condemn humanity but to save them.
The worst thing here is that there is a very great controversy being stirred up to corrupt God's very teaching and his people. All the confusion about religion here can all be attributed to of course the one who creates the confusion. Which is the Catholic and other political socio-religion.
I think the Bible that we have today was based on corrupted and inferior manuscripts that in many cases do not accurately represent the meaning of the original text.
When world class Biblical Scholar Bart Ehrman first began to study the texts of the Bible in their original languages, he was startled to discover the multitude of mistakes and intentional alterations that had been made by earlier translators. In the book "Misquoting Jesus", Ehrman tells the story behind the mistakes and changes that the ancient scribes made to the new testament and shows the great impact they had upon the Bible we use today. He frames his account with personal reflections on how his study of the Greek manuscripts made him abandon his once ultraconservative views of the bible.
Since the advent of the printing press and the accurate reproduction of texts, most people have assumed that when they read the New Testament they are reading an exact copy of Jesus's words or Saint Paul's writings. And yet, for almost 1500 years these manuscripts were hand copied by scribes who were deeply influenced by the cultural, theological, and political disputes of their day. Both mistakes and intentional changes abound in the surviving manuscripts, making the original words difficult to reconstrutct. For the first time, the world famous Bible Scholar reveals where and why these changes were made and how some Bible scholars go about reconstructing the original words of the new testament as closely as possible.
The author makes the provocative case that many of our cherished Biblical stories and widely held beliefs concerning the Divinity of Jesus, the Trinity, and the Divine origins of the Bible itself stem fom both intentional and accidental alterations by scribes - alterations that dramatically affected all subsequent versions of the Bible.![]()
