As far as beliefs go...

[Guest naive_simon]

I am a christian and have grown up in the church of God (Pentecostal) and have gone to a baptist christian school from 4th to 11th grade, so I have plenty of knowledge of the Bible and even other religious beliefs around the world, but you always get the Christian-slant to the religion and why it isn't true, and about what it is.... I would just like to know what makes Christianity more believable to non-believers than any other religion on the face of the earth?

I believe in Christ more than anything on this planet. It's just I would like to know how to tell others that do not believe that there is a God, or that Christ is the absolute truth, and that Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Scientology, etc. all are not the absolute truth.

Go to where Mohammed was buried and what do you find? Dead man's bones!

Go to where Buddha was buried and what do you find? Dead man's bones!

Go to where Jesus was buried and what do you find? AN EMPTY TOMB!

One thing that sets Christianity apart (besides the ressurrection-AMEN!) is the fact that man adds nothing to it. God is the focus of Christianity. He both judges us in our sin and provides the remedy through Christ. He gave up His Son, He gives us all spiritual blessings in Christ, He empowers us to do His will, He will take us to heaven forever. All other religions are different because they focus on man. In each case, man somehow received revelation beyond what God gave in the Bible. Then, man must do certain things to be right with whatever deity he is worshipping. It is clear that the other religions were man-made because they give glory and credit to man. Sinful man always does things to feed his pride. A Christian, by God's grace, has faith and humility that God did it for him, not him doing something for God. Christianity is all about God.

Christianity is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone found in the Bible alone to the glory of God alone!

I've also noticed in Islam especially that there is no reason for humankind or love in return from "Allah". It's like, what is the point?

That was an interesting statement. How is this true in the religions I mentioned?

Most of those have some sort of prophet - Mohammed, Mary Baker Eddy, Buddha, etc... Those prophets were responsible for the "new revelation" that is far more important than the Bible. While many religions claim to hold to the Bible, they follow the book that is distinct to their religion (Koran, Science and Health, numerous Buddhist and Hindu writings) when the two conflict. Therefore, the one being followed is a man (or woman) rather than God. Unfortunately for the creators of those religions, they are now dead and can no longer enjoy the position. God is alive and constanly enjoying our worship.

I think this is pretty much the overall answer you seek.

Dear naive simon, as I read your post I reflected back to the early days of the salvation and the zeal that I had to tell "everybody" about Jesus. As I read the bible some of the stories I read where Jesus confounded others with the wisdom and revelation knowledge of the scriptures. He knew and understood their thoughts and the intents of their hearts. Just as He knows yours'. To understand the different faiths of others, you would have to study them. If you want understanding from a different perspective than the "chrisitan-slant", you would have to study under teachers of those faiths. Therein lies the danger!. I hope you realize that there is always a spirit behind the doctrine. The doctrine of Christ is the Holy Spirit of God. What He says about Himself and the whys and wherefores we believe because He allows us to. The spirits behind these other faiths teach things that are contrary to the doctrine of Christ and therefore, are anti-christs. It is not about "christianity", it is about Christ.

The bible says to study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth... The Holy Spirit will give you what you need, when you need it. The Lord knows how to prepare you for the work He has called you to. The witness will be in your heart and their hearts when it is time. God bless
