"And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day." Gen 1:31
What happened to all of the "very good"? Did any remain after Adam and Eve but before Jesus?
Which men today did not descend from the flawed Adam and Eve in the beginning?
Which men today did not descend from the offspring of Noah?
Did Abraham have children other than Isaac?
Are the organized non-Christian religions of planet Earth today flawed?
Are the organized religions of planet Earth today bearing the label of Christianity flawed?
Who is leading Men today?

Interesting sir, glad you brought that out. Seems like it is simply a common sense rule, could you imagine how the world would be if even 25% put it into practice?
But... what is common should only make sense when and if a person is being led by the Holy Spirit!

So much truth mixed in with so many lies. When crunch time comes, these other religions will toss that one out the window, IMHO 
Jn 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
1 Timothy 2:5
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
Acts 4:11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Native spirituality?

if it’s native and carnal how can it be spiritual?
And Jainism is weird “all creatures” even a T-bone steak?
At Christian’s can eat pork!

Consider Amad, extremely few people on earth are being "led by holy spirit". Yet many people are good people sir, and do actually put into practice the golden rule. I know a manager of a Steak and Shake that is outstanding, I cannot imagine anyone not liking him, he truly stands out, yet he is not a Christian, although I would imagine he believes he is. Just picture what the world would be like if every 1 out of 4 people you meet actually treated you the way they desired to be treated. Is it really that hard to imagine? I suppose since the percentage rate observing that is so low, I guess it could be hard to imagine sir.
Indeed, but is that good as men understand as good enough to please God and allow a man to always dwell with Him?
If one out of four were to do that, this would be a whole other world, this society of men we name planet Earth.
What does it take for one to move from selfishness to selflessness? Would not that be where the Holy Spirit would lead us if we were always to follow?
"Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than themselves." Phil 2:3
"And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible." Mark 10:27

The holy spirit is a definite driving force for sure Amad. One of the benefits of being a Christian is the fruitages of that spirit, vs the works of the flesh recorded for us at Gal 5:19-23. The sad thing is, that even amongst us Christians, in our imperfection we sometimes display those works of the flesh in our lives.

No sir, as Sovereign ruler, God expects our wholesouled devotion as well as our obedience to His commandments. Mat 22:37; 1 Jn 5:3
This, I believe, is because in spite of what too many people may say, the old man of us is not completely dead yet. Kill the old man!
And alone who can do that? But... then for that has not God provided the means to accomplish all that He expects and requires of us? The help is available, but we must also work!
"I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work." John 9:4

We are definitely a work in progress for sure, but our deliverance is drawing closer daily my friend.

We are never alone sir, although it may seem like it at times. Jesus promised: (Mark 10:29, 30) . . .“Truly I say to you, no one has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for my sake and for the sake of the good news 30 who will not get 100 times more now in this period of time—houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and fields, with persecutions—and in the coming system of things, everlasting life.

Since the beginning, God's principles of how to live have permeated the world. That He exists has as well; but truth when accompanied with lies gets confused and distorted.
Satan is clever. He uses truth mixed in with his lies to lure and manipulate. He captures our attention with these pillars of truth, lures us with stuff we all agree with: " This is true ... it's intriguing- I'll follow this way, try it out" ... or "This sounds logical and when I apply it it works - I like it!" "Mom and Dad believe this ... it must be true - they love us!". And so they cling onto these fundamentals that are common in most major religions but have to accept the rest, which leaves out the Doorway to heaven, Christ.
So we can find truths in most major religions. They have been passed down but then changed added to, distorted. We can just look at the concept of God, who He is and they all paint a different picture. We get it right when we look at Jesus, but NOT when we look at Mohammed, Buddha, Brahma or Krishna. Jesus said there is only ONE WAY to God, through Him. All other ways fail and lead to destruction. So if you are following anyone else but Christ, Satan has you exactly where he wants you, on the road to destruction. A remnant Jewish population will receive Christ when He comes and many will come out of all other religions and make a decision for Christ - if they are His sheep before His coming.
