This is not Biblical
also — it may be unique that Christianity involves God becoming man and being humbled as a man and suffering as a man. It is a strange notion that mankind would not normally construct.
I believe that Christianity is unique in that it emphasizes forgiveness. God’s forgiveness for our sins against him, and in-kind his expectations that we forgive others for their sins against us.
In truth this mentality challenges us to overlook differences in people and not pit ourselves against them due to their differences.
I do not believe that this is a wholesale demand for acceptance of deviance, but a belief in the intricate value of the human soul, and a belief in the godly potential that lies within each of us .... whether it is in-fact realized or not.
This view of the Christian Faith is according to, and has been taught to me through the teachings of a Latter-Day Prophet, Joseph Smith as well as other modern prophets of the restoration of God’s Gospel to the earth.
If you're Mormon you're not Christian.
In all other religions men are trying to reach good through some system of good works.
This is not Biblical.
It's not? What other source of Truth is there?
uh.... SINLESS Jesus DYING for OUR SINS!! NO GREATER LOVE!!
First question is actually, “Is Christianity unique?”
Christianity is the only path to salvation.
It is the truth.
That is what makes it unique.
Let me know where in the Bible it states what you are claiming
Show us where it isn’t the source of truth.
I heard it said once that all the religions of the world say, “Do.” True Christianity says,”Done.”
Luke_24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
John_1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
John_1:45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
Generally a good article.
The largest weakness I observe is that it approaches the topic of Christianity from the perspective of it being a comparative religion. Such is an antichristian perspective.
It attempts to elevate any and all systems of religion independent of what He has provided, to an equal status to what He provides us by His Word. It attempts to substitute our discernment in the argument for His Provision.
Not only are we unable to approach the Father except by Christ, our Lord Christ Jesus builds His Church only upon those whom the Father has elected and provided to the Son.
Three persons, one God.
Apparently, this verse doesn’t count. In St Paul’s words,”So, then, brethren stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter.” (2 Thess. 2:15)
Revealed to him by the Holy Spirit, the author of the Scriptures.
Christianity provides a philosophical (moral/ethical) basis for life to prosper. Islam is its opposite, everything else is a distraction from truth.
