There are false religions

I am a Christian. I believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. God knew that mankind's own deeds(whether good or bad) could not and will not gain us redemption. So He sent us His Son to die on the Cross and it is through Christ's Blood that mankind receives salvation. The New testament also refers to false gods and false religions that are os satan. I guess it is up to an individual to find the truth in the Bible and in their relationship with Jesus Christ.

As for the Quran, Muhammed himself kept changing the rules, first Allah told him one wife, then 2, then 4 and so on. Even Muslim historians agree that Muhammed had at least 14 to 15 wives. So even the prophet himself did not obey the teachings of the Quran.

And if Islam is a peaceful religion, why is it their prophet, Muhammed, lead his followers in over 80 battles? Why did Muhammed, in his time, make peace treaties with his enemies, only to break them later on when he had greater numbers/strength than his enemy? Doesn't sound like a peaceful prophet to me.

In my opinion, the Quran is corrupt and the religion is corrupt. But then again, so are many Christian churches, that have fallen away from the Word of God. The Bible teaches that "all" prayer is in vain, if not done in Jesus' name. How many prayers have you seen/heard to God followed by an amen, with no reference to Christ? And how many times have you heard Christian leaders state that we all worship the "same" God. Are they serious?

In the Bible, God says He prefers we be hot or cold, but that we have chosen to become lukewarm and He will spew us from His mouth. And read the Letters to the Churches. In the last letter, God says that He is at the door, but those inside will not open the door. What does that say aabout the latter day churches? Why is God not "inside" the church?

I just pray that God open the hearts of all mankind and expose those hearts to the salvation of Jesus Christ. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
