The concept of sin and redemption only through the grace of God, and not by works of man, no other religion gets this right.

Third, Christianity looks to the Bible as the singular source of Truth.

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.

Only Christianity has a Deity who reaches down and saves sinners through free grace.

In all other religions men are trying to reach good through some system of good works.

First question is actually, “Is Christianity unique?”

Christianity is the only path to salvation.

It is the truth.

That is what makes it unique.

I heard it said once that all the religions of the world say, “Do.” True Christianity says,”Done.”

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.

Christianity provides a philosophical (moral/ethical) basis for life to prosper. Islam is its opposite, everything else is a distraction from truth.

This Noachide believes that the United States could never have been founded without Christian influence.

Thus, thank God for Christianity.
