    How do you know Christianity is the correct religion?

    If religion is based on personal belief and assumption, how can we be sure whose belief is correct? It seems that people get the same "touched by god" feeling from all sorts of paths, so how can we know?

    We accept God's religion. God gave us the manual; KJV1611. Case closed.

        Asked and answered, next question.
        Ephesians 5:22-24
        22*Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23*For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24*Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

          Christianity is based on the word of God, rather than personal belief and assumption. Our assuredness in it comes from faith in God, and that what He says is correct.
          2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness

            See? Even the goth heathen gets it! Why did you come here to mock GOD?
            "And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him."
            -Luke 12:4-5

              God provided the Bible. It contains His Word. It says so. It is there for all humanity to follow . . . and Christianity has the largest number of followers worldwide, at 2.1 - 2.2 billion. Therefore, God knows that the majority of living humans are following this path.

              God could easily correct the Bible if it was wrong ("mistranslated" or "corrupted" or "made up"). He has not. If God were "Allah" or "Zoroaster" or "FSM", He could change the Bible so everybody would know it was wrong. Otherwise, He would be deliberately leading billions into eternal torment.

              The Bible says what it says.

              Therefore, if there is a God, the Bible MUST say what God wants it to say and must be true as written.
              Bible boring? Nonsense!

              You can't be a Christian if you don't know God's Word!

                No disrespect, but this seems like a pretty dumb question to me. We know that Christianity is the true religion because is says so in the Bible (KJV). Who are you to challenge the WORD of the LORD?
