this is a simple question what if your love one invite you to join a new religion will you join or not?
I mean new religion that was created very new example new religion created last year because there are many existing religion now are only created by man. so will you fallow it or stick to the very old religion?
for me real religion never changed right? and new religion and always changed are fake right?
what if your love one will invite you to join new religion will you fallow or not?

Every religion existent on this planet was a new religion at some point. The anatomically modern human species has existed for about fifty thousand years. Todays religions with the exception of animism are all short timers when compared to human history.
I would check out my loved ones new religion and if aspects of it appealed to me I would join in at least that part that seemed to make sense.

Even if the self-proclaimed prophets are taken at face value there was a time that the revelations they proclaimed were new to the planet. With the exception of animism there is no religion on this planet that is more than five thousand years old. They were all new at one time.

"Every religion existent on this planet was a new religion" i dont agree with you.
all prophets are sent by god to nation and tribe to spread god words.
all prophets are brother and their religion are one.
this means all prophets has only one god and their religion are one.
now my i ask do you think religion of the prophets are NEW ?

This actually is a moment I dread - when I'm faced between choosing someone I love and my religion. I've contemplated this a lot of times. But I guess I would not join her new religion. Although I have nothing against the religion of other people, be it an old established religion or a new one, my faith in mine is strong and I wouldn't waver.

One must remember it's about God not religion. Sure I would join her religion. They are going to just love me and all those million questions I'm going to ask them. Joining a religion doesn't mean one should become blind. Interaction is key in all our relationships in life. Yes, They will all be thinking before I'm done.

There is only one God. God places knowledge all around us about every subject. People are at different levels of understanding. When you speak of prophets, you speak of ordinary people who have a following. Though some things they say are right, they speak for themselves not God. If you really want to hear the word of God, discover God for yourself. Why would anyone think that God needs a middleman in His relationship with you?? That will never add up because it isn't true.

In my religion we are advised to marry only within our own faith. This does not mean that some don't marry outside their faith, but for me it was never a question. I knew that I would never marry outside of my faith. No one should be placed before our Father in heaven. Another reason was that if my husband & I had children there would be the question of what religion they would be brought up in. If you decide to marry outside of your faith then this would most definitely become an issue in your marriage. So marrying someone in my own religion solved that problem because it wasn't even an issue. Marriage is hard enough nowadays why add more problems when there didn't have to be any by simply marrying in your own faith? At least that's how I feel about it anyway.

I never went looking for anyone out of my own faith so I knew that would never happen to me.

If my husband asked me to come and visit a new religion I will go and see what it is about. But most likely I will not join for anyone but myself. If I feel old or new religion is for me then I will go for it if not then I'm staying the way I am having no real religion because I believe in them all in different ways. I would never ask of my husband to join something I believe in either.

Like I said above if my husband asked me I would go with him but that doesn't mean I believe in it. I go with him and his grandparents from time to time to church and I don't believe anything that pastor is talking about it. My husband knows I don't believe in it he doesn't even really care about it but his family does and we go to just please them from time to time. When you love some body some times you just go with them to be nice that doesn't mean you believe in it or like it. If he worships stones so be that is him that is no difference then worshiping a cross, and so on.

Hello... Religion is created by human being only... It ain't decided by the God.. The Almighty found it fit to create us all equally with a human body and mind. If one uses it properly, one can live happily without being religious... So I would not think of religion at all...
Love is a natural thing and it comes out suddenly... It is the most true feeling.. I would change everything if someone loved me truly. For true love, people have given their lives... My sacrifice (if we can call it so) won't matter a lot... :)

I wouldn't join a new religion because the religion I have now is the truth. I don't believe a new religion could pop up and have the truth. If it is a new religion it has to be based on a man or woman and what they think, which is not truth at all. Since we have the Word of God, why do we need to add to it what a human being thinks. It will be lies if they try to change what God has already said in his Word. I would stay with the truth and stay away from any new religions that pop up.

It happened to me. I ended my love with her, but it really hurts. I will never change my religion because I know we have the truth in ours. That girl's religion is just an offshoot of ours, so why would I change mine to hers?

No. If she likes me she will understand. I don't want her to join my religion if she doesn't want to.

If my love one invite me to join new religion, I will not join to new religion since I already get used to my own religion and I am feel comfortable to my religion. I will tell her not to join but I will only visit to her religious mass so that she may not feel sad and disappointed to me.

This is something that I have been seeing a lot lately! Most of my friends are facing such a situation these days and my friends are actually ready and accepting to change their religion for the sake of love. But let us not forget the fact that, my friends will get converted to a well established religion but not something which was created by man, specially today's man, created just the previous year. It is just rubbish. But then, no offense, everybody has their own faith and trust.

There is no religions. But we create it.
First thing is that we all are human.
Its a big religion.

it depends. If i think that the religion is right for me, i would join of course. My way of defining right is the religion must emphasis on peace and harmony. The teachings of forgiveness and control of worldly temptation is also must. As long the religion does not contradicts and have a firm law and belief in righteousness, i don't see why, not too join them. Haha, that would be my personal perception. LD

All religions, old and new, were created by men. If you believe that God exists how do you call him? Many religions have quarrels about this and I find that this is absurd.
But at the same time many people need the support of a religion and are true believers.
If your loved one really care about you, he/she will not insist for you to change your beliefs.

Religion is not something you can just put on--like a new pair of shoes. Your religious beliefs are a part of your personality. If you are uncomfortable with your belief system then, by all means, explore something else. If your partner "loves" you enough to marry you, she needs to accept you as you are instead of trying to change you. That is my opinion.

I don't think I would, it might cause a few complications with my family too so I would prefer to stick to my own religion. I have relatives who married their partners who were had a completely different religion, the marriage still went well and my relatives didn't have to convert at all. I reckon religion is more of a personal thing, don't let it get into the way of marriage. I know people who are Christian who married Buddhists and their marriage is quite happy. If a person was born into a religion, I think they would rather stick to it than convert.
