In a multinational multi-confessional state may well be confused with differences in religious teachings.There are Christians who profess Christ.Muslims who speak about Muhammad, the Jews who do not recognize either the one or the other.Buddhists generally far removed from it all, learn about the indifference and Nirvana.What is the difference between all of these creeds and differs from the Buddhist Baptist?

question is quite reasonable, but not complicated.Indeed, there are several religions that practice completely different concept of God.It is often said that God is one, but His different praise.One has only to delve deeper into the description of God, to understand that he and Jesus Christ - is very different.So different that it is impossible to describe one Being so different.

Christianity preaches Christ.Judaism - it can be said predhristianstvo.These are people who do not know Jesus the Savior came and waiting for his coming so far.

Muslims know that there was such a great person - Jesus Christ, but God does not recognize them, for them it is only a prophet.Buddhism is generally teaches that there is a personal God, and there is some absolute, to which it should aspire, which must be drained and completely dissolved.

So, in the world and in Russia, there are several different religions.They are distinguished not only God, who is worshiped by their followers, but also the ethical principles which they follow.But even within the same religion, there are several denominations.

Confession - this is one branch of a certain religion, despite the fact that there are other branches, that is faith.Such separation is today in any religion.For example, in Christianity's oldest faiths - Orthodoxy is, newer - Catholicism is the modern - Protestant.

Orthodox, Catholics and Protestants venerate Christ.Gospel for all the important and authoritative, but differ in their interpretation of the foundations of the faith.And each denomination believes its interpretation and teaching of right and criticized by other scientists.The Orthodox believe that the Catholics who separated from the Orthodox Church about a thousand years ago, dogmatically wrong, wrong have a spiritual practice.In turn, Catholics do not like overly conservative Orthodox, there are some doctrinal disagreement.

But representatives of the denominations of one religion are guided by the same values, the same language.But if the dialogue are representatives of different religions, besides global values, they are no longer in common, so it is extremely difficult to negotiate.

oldest denomination in Judaism - is Orthodox Judaism, there is also a new trend - Hasidism, and Reform Judaism.

Islam too heterogeneous.There are Sunni, Shia and Salafism.

In Russia, the main Christian faiths - Orthodoxy is, although there are Catholics and Protestants.Russian people are mostly unlikely to represent the canonical difference between currents.Just Russian accustomed to the appearance of temples and type of service.The various Christian confessions in Russia are not prejudiced, shall have the right to exist, freedom to preach.Almost every major city has a Catholic church and a few Protestant houses of worship.Previously belonging to this or that tradition could cost lives (the Crusades, the St. Bartholomew), and now people are more tolerant.

majority of the Russian population in the religious movements does not understand, but because the dogmatic dispute between religions, at best, cause bewilderment.
