Firstly, religion and the bible must go hand in hand so religious doctrine (beliefs), standards of conduct and the organizational procedures MUST be based on the bible. The bible is the guide to measure against and will show the right/true religion. Questions to consider: Can ALL the beliefs be proven from the bible? Is the identifying mark of LOVE visible despite national, racial and political borders? Is God's name sanctified and made known as per the Lords Prayer? These are some questions that if answered honestly will enable us to recognize the counterfeit religions and more importantly, to recognize the True Religion.
Yes why not if a particular religion allows for it. Christianity does not allow change outside that which is written in the Bible.
The Bible holds great significance in Christianity as it is considered the sacred text that contains the teachings and beliefs of the religion. It serves as a guide for Christian beliefs and practices, shaping the moral values, rituals, and traditions followed by its followers. The Bible is believed to be the inspired word of God and is seen as a source of authority and guidance for Christians in their faith and daily lives.
The Upanishads are a collection of more than 200 philosophical texts of the Hindu religion. In the same way that the Torah, Bible and Qur'an shape the Abrahamic faith's sects, the whole of the Upanishads shape the Hindu religion through canonical statements. It would be difficult to identify the beliefs from them without quoting them in their entirety.
In Biblical days there was no religion. The people of the Bible were called Hebrews and Israelites. It was not a religion- its what they were.
