why is Christianity "right" and all other religions are wrong?

[dioxfre]

I want to start things off by saying that I'm agnostic. I haven't been in this world a long time and I'm unsure of where to turn. I've read of other religions loosely (mostly different "forms" of Christianity), and I don't understand what makes one religion "right". I have not joined this forum to harass anyone; I merely want to be informed. I'm not sure if I want to be "saved" because to tell you the truth I'm not sure what it entails.

Landover Baptist Faith and Message statement
"The Holy Bible, KJV1611, was written by men divinely inspired and is God's revelation of Himself to man. It is a perfect treasure of divine instruction. It has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture of error, for its matter. Therefore, all Scripture therein is totally true and trustworthy.”

That is it in a nutshell. Landover accepts every single word of the Bible as God's Word. Landover permits NO interpretation. We believe that God was pretty literate and could explain Himself.

Other so-call sects and social gatherings - Lutherans, Anglicans, Methodists, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc. have twisted God's Word, forgotten parts of His teaching or simply disobeyed them. Mormons and Catholics have added to the Bible. This is prohibited. Catholics are servants of Satan - the Bible clearly shows this.

None of the above sects will see Heaven. True Christians™ from Landover will. They are promised by God that their faithfulness to His Word will be rewarded.

yes, I do agree that those who follow a religion should follow their scripture word for word. But what about religions like Hinduism? It's an extremely old religion that millions follow, and I'm certain many of these people follow their own holy writings. I know religions like Islam seem strange, but I think there's probably Muslim children out there who think Christianity and the concept of Christ is strange. These people were raised in vastly different circumstances...I'm not sure what to believe...

replace the word "God" with "Allah", and you have Islam. What's the difference?

Replace the word "paradise" with "hell". Replace "72 virgins" with "72 rectums which you will have raped simultainously". Amazing what a difference a few words make.

So simply and powerfully put, brother Bathfire. It brought me to tears knowing the correctness of Jesus love in all things Landoverian!

A fraudulent religion that is a bad attempt to copy Christianity friend.

You do know, far from being directly inspired by God, Muhammad got his ideas from a heretical Christian monk named Bahira?

Just follow the light my friend. Let God guide you down a True Christian path. Being saved entails the access to heaven in the after life, in the presents of our father.

The word "presence" would have made more sense here.

I think not. Is not Eternal Life one of God's Gifts?

you have Islam. What's the difference?

Did you never notice that Islam lets people become terrorists and God lets people protect you from terrorists?

Dear friend:

How can you compare Is-lame with True Christianity™? One is based on the rantings of an epileptic desert nomad who hallucinated visits from angels. Well after the fact, those rantings, half-remembered, were written down and then redacted by a power-mad religious leader who had competing versions burned. The other is based on the King James Bible, God's preserved word.

Re: why is Christianity "right" and all other religions are wrong

I already answered this question here: Why Christianity is the only religion that makes sense

Here's a portion of my argument, follow the link to see more truth!

Does anyone really think Atheism "makes sense"? In Atheism, there was nothing. Nothing banged nothing to make something which turned into the universe which formed our earth, and then that nothing-something made bacteria which evolved into animals-monkeys, which then evolved into us.

An atheist would probably say: "People who appeal to other creeds would disagree with you. Are you not worried about being damned to the Islamic Jahannam(hell)?"

Why should we be worried about it? We aren't polytheists, so at worst, we'd be forgiven after a time. If I'm not mistaken, muslims take Christians to be like them except that we're following the wrong "prophet."

You see, other religions, the punishment for not following them is typically, at the worst, forgiveable. So there is no real reason for the believer to need to follow the rules. They can get away with whatever they want and just pay for it later. What we believe is the only one that will exact true justice, and hold people accountable for their actions. It is also the only one that says you can be completely forgiven of all wrongs by doing nothing more than taking at his word, what is written in a book that cannot be flat out proven to be false or destroyed. There's a reason the Bible has been the #1 bestseller of all time.

The atheist would probably reply: "You present Pascals wager:

1.To believe in God, one must believe propositions that are, from the standpoint of most nontheists, impossible (or at least very hard) to believe. For that reason, the wager can be rejected.

2.Belief is not directly subject to the will. So, it is impossible (or at least very difficult) for nontheists to self-induce theistic belief. This also renders the wager's premise false."

People for years, found it very difficult to believe that the bumble bee should even be able to fly, and yet, there it goes, buzzing around. Just because something is hard to believe doesn't make it any less true.

The ignorant atheist will probably proceed to say: "3. There are many concepts of God one can choose from, thus it is extremely improbable that someone will choose the right one."

And yet there only seems to be only one concept of God that says we are not good enough to get to "paradise" in anything we do. Only one that says, you are going to burn for eternity unless you do the simple thing of admitting that you're wrong and God is right. That, in and of itself should give a person pause when considering.

All the other ones, well...

You have to kill enough infidels.
You have to learn how to meditate properly to become "enlightened."
You have to give your money to the poor or to the "church."
Etc, etc...

The deluded, evil atheist will go on to say: "I find it absurd that you tell me I'm going to hell, yet you claim you do not need to prove it's existence to me? Indeed....."

Millions of people thought the world was flat at one point in history, or that it rode on the back of a giant turtle. Just because no one had ever proved it to them, didn't make what they believed any less false.

I find it absurd that you feel something needs to be provable to you in order for it to be true.
