What might be the benefits of studying religious faiths different from your own?
-
I lived in a multicultural country. The benefits of studying the religious faiths of others will help me understand others’ beliefs and practices better. Thereby, will not be narrow-minded, will respect all races, and religions, and ensure harmonious relationships with our neighbors. Love your neighbors as yourselves.

It can help when we talk to believers of other faiths so we can show we understand where they are at and show them where we are

The benefits of studying religious faiths different from my own helps to be able to embrace and build your defense about the individual faith. In addition, it enlightens one about other religious groups beliefs and practices. It should also prevent misunderstandings and offenses when we are dealing with others of different beliefs.

I would do it to find out why others cannot appreciate the practice and belief of the true God. I believe that there is only one God and one fate for all living beings and every other religious faith system stems from that one faith. Most people just do not have the patience for God, but patience is actually a virtue (goodness). When I read Ecclesiastes, it helps me to deal with stress, learning that it is unnecessary to stress over things that God is not stressing about. Most of the time I overreact and ignore my inner voice, but I always return to Christ, and this is calming. I have studied Buddhism before, but I have never known Islam or Judean practices, faith, nor beliefs. Buddhist people practice faith through chanting rituals, and they have been known to work in keeping the soul calm, but for me I always return back to biblical scripture.

I can see how other people reveal their faith and know more about why they practice activities that I may deem as odd or foreign.
