1000's of religions, why is christianity true?

[Banana Jelly]

Or Islam, or Judaism?

Can any religious person elaborate why they are sure that their religion are true other then the faith argument?

[Vanoi]

I swear you have created a thread like this before. The only people who think Christianty is the true religion and that their God is the only true God is well, Chrisitians.

[fd7s]

everyone thinks their own religion is true that's common sense

[(s)AINT]

Because they were taught when they were little that its true.

[fd7s]

also whats the point in beliving if you dont think its true lol

[Dominicvs]

Because people make decisions, and decide what they believe to be true - not with logic, but with emotion. So you can't logically explain your question, for this is something people do with their emotions.

Not all belief is emotion. In fact, most belief isn't. Gittany above you unwittingly made a very true point: belief is essentially nothing other than thinking that something is true. You don't know it, that is to say, it's can't be tested by repetition, but in absense of evidence you nevertheless still think that your idea corresponds to the truth.

Whether you have come about your idea logically or emotionally doesn't exactly matter, even though most of the times it's logical in nature. Even religious belief is logical in nature to some degree. There's a strong emotional aspect to it, sure, but at the same time the concept of God is a deduction.

I should hope something that's as big a deal as eternal life has some harsh entry requirements you can't have any Tom, Dick and Harry just going there when they die if they haven't really done anything to earn it. That just won't do.

" Can any religious person elaborate why they are sure that their religion are true other then the faith argument? "

Banana Jelly,

The reason that Christianity is the true faith to belong to is because it isn't a religion. Indeed it is the forerunner of all religions in that they have something of the original but not all and much of that is corrupted. From the account of the fall of man we can read of things that predict the coming of Jesus Christ when there were but two people on the planet.

And from Noah on it is only then that we see the beginnings of other religions even though that man had nothing to do with them. Indeed the first apostacy was created by his grandson Cush, whose very name means confounder, when he had along with Semiramis, Nimrod or Ninus deified. Thus the Chaldean Mysteries came into being.

But of course faith is useless without experience and that is well provided by the Christian God to whomever He chooses, something that religions don't have. So what is the difference? Religions are bound to what they know or make up as long as Jesus Christ is not the lone centrepiece of its worship which we can see quite readily by all the crutches having been brought into these.

And strangely enough the power behind them is readily available to produce before the eyes of them that are religious all sorts of mistical apparitions to enhance their following and one has to question why? Why when the risen Lord Jesus dwells in the hearts and minds of them reborn do they need outward signs when the heart is filled with Him?

Is it not written that when the man of sin comes as Jesus Christ that he too will work miraculous signs and wonders to complete the gathering in of all religions under one banner? Yes, even the Jews will be drawn in as this man will seem to them their Messias, but he is not, and to their consternation, will soon find that out.

And so religion, for there will not be unbelievers then, will be seen for what it is in the moments the real Jesus Christ and His hosts appear in the heavens fulfilling all that has been written of Him. His followers have always known, never had many doubts, that He lives and works for the benefit of all His adopted brothers and sisters because He has never left their hearts in all their lives since their rebirth.

I personally don't think any religion is inherently true, I believe that The Jews, Muslims and Christians worship the same god but with different practice, and that is fine, it helps us expand our knowledge and understanding, and personally, I believe religious wars are trivial, and that we religious should all join hands in faith and destroy the Atheists. But that's my opinion.

My religion has as much/as little base as any other and attempting to discredit another is futile. But I am in favour of Roman Catholic practice, while another person may find solace in Justification by faith alone or that they are the elect. They have their beliefs and god will treat them according to their believes in heaven.

" They have their beliefs and god will treat them according to their believes in heaven. "

Irish Warrior,

It is written that at the final day countless numbers of the religious will plead their lost cause to Jesus Christ that they did this and that in His name, but that He will say to them that He doesn't know them and casts them into eternal torment. They thought that they were of Him, probably thought it quite sincerely, but they weren't and this is where your argument is quite wrong.

Belief in Jesus Christ comes by revelation to the inward being of them that are chosen. By conscious effect, deep remorse, their lives are changed in an instant from what was old to something quite new whereupon they now know Jesus Christ as He does them, why? Because their realisation is now that He paid something for them and they in their turn are well aware of what that is.

The religious of Revelation never had that experience, never knew the renewal of life except through their own rituals which are not God's. We don't choose God because it is not possible, God chooses us because with Him it is the only way possible and I cannot stress this enough.

I liked this one. A lot.

because its the religion/s du millenium......

Compared to some of the religions followed in antiquity or even before (well documented anyway) todays religions are nothing more than

'a flash in the pan'

or at most

'fly by nighters'

....

[Helm]

They're all the same general idea though some have a better idea than others. A lot of it is a product of culture of course. If you're an atheist they all have to be 100% wrong.

[John ''True Grit'' Wayne]

The only reason its strong is Constantine the roman general made it the official religion at a time when rome owned most of the world.The church is used to get people under the control of evil men with pointy bishops hats

Constantine the Great also known as Constantine I or Saint Constantine,[4] was Roman Emperor from 306 to 337. Well known for being the first Roman emperor to convert to Christianity,[notes 4] Constantine issued the Edict of Milan in 313, which proclaimed religious tolerance of all religions throughout the empire.
The foremost general of his time, Constantine defeated the emperors Maxentius and Licinius during civil wars. He also fought successfully against the Franks, Alamanni, Visigoths, and Sarmatians during his reign – even resettling parts of Dacia which had been abandoned during the previous century. Constantine built a new imperial residencein place of Byzantium, naming it "Nova Roma", the later Constantinople, which would be the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire for over one thousand years. Hence known as the founder of Eastern Roman Empire and the first in line of Constantinople Emperors.
