Explore the depths of spirituality and religion with '101 Questions for GOD,' a unique compilation that delves into the fundamental inquiries of humanity across five major faiths.

Question: Why are there so many different religions?

JUDAISM:

In Judaism, religious differences are seen as part of the diversity of divine creation. Each religion has its own understanding of truth and its own path to relating to God.

CHRISTIANITY:

In Christianity, religious differences are understood as a result of human search for truth and relationship with the divine. Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life, but recognize that other religions may also seek truth and salvation in different ways.

ISLAM:

In Islam, religious differences are seen as part of God's plan to test people's faith and devotion. Muslims believe that Islam is the true and complete religion, but respect other religious traditions as manifestations of human search for God.

HINDUISM:

In Hinduism, religious differences are understood as expressions of the diversity of human nature and the different cultures around the world. Hindus believe in the plurality of spiritual paths that lead to spiritual realization and union with the divine.

1. Chapter 4. Preparations and Funeral.

Jesus expressed the need for a dedicated team to carry out the excavation work, but he also emphasized the importance of the work not interfering with our joint mission.

The creation of the tomb was an undertaking that required months of hard work. Every detail followed his instructions. As we worked, we knew the purpose of the structure, which inevitably brought an emotional weight to the process.

Dealing with the knowledge that this tomb would be our Master's resting place was an immense burden. However, Jesus guidance was a source of comfort and purpose. His peaceful presence and clear direction guided us through the complexity of this task, allowing us to create a space of tranquillity and respect for His resting place."

I gather from the answer that Arimathea never considered the possibility of resurrection, which was a little frustrating because it was precisely what I wanted to know.

Chapter 7 – Miracles, Bargains, and Heresies.

When the extraordinary is staged to keep audiences loyal — and paying.

The service started late, as usual. The lights dimmed, the sound intensified, and the atmosphere was slowly built. It was campaign night. A healing campaign, a restitution campaign, a night of the impossible. On the screen, phrases like “Tonight Heaven Will Open” and “Get Ready to Experience the Supernatural” alternated with images of crowds crying, jumping, fainting.

Everything seemed meticulously calculated.

The guest preacher didn’t enter immediately. He was announced. The band performed a long instrumental while a voice, in movie trailer style, praised his credentials: man used by God, performer of signs, channel of miracles. By the time he finally appeared, the crowd was already in a trance.

The first hour was pure emotional setup. Shouting, theatrical gestures, hypnotic phrases. Slowly, people began to react. A man dropped to his knees. A woman started spinning. A young man sobbed against the wall.

But nothing had been said yet.

When the sermon finally came, the content was generic. Emotional stories, random verses, promises of breakthrough. The focus was the atmosphere, not doctrine. The goal wasn’t to teach — it was to induce.

Then came the moment of miracles.

The preacher stepped down from the stage, walked among the crowd, touched a young man’s head, and said, “God is showing me that you’re having back problems. Have you been in pain?”

The young man, visibly surprised, replied, “Yes, I have.”

The crowd erupted. It was like watching a magic trick presented as a divine revelation.

There was no verification. No exams, no prior testimony. Just the moment. The emotion. The crowd’s reaction.

Then came the miracles of hearing, of sight, of finances. People collapsed. Others delivered envelopes. Some just watched, unsure whether to believe what they were seeing.

A few days later, I interviewed one of the event organizers. Off the record, she revealed that some of the “healed” were already known to the team. That certain testimonies were pre-selected. That instructions had been given about how to react on stage.
