Why is that the only so-called true religion is Christianity? Why?

Question

Is it a coincedent that the God of Christianity is (no-offense) potrayed as white and all the ancient scripts that predate the bible by thousands of years are rejcted as myths! Why? Egyptians,Mayan,Aztecs,Olmecs,Hopi indians,Dogons,Babylions,Sumerians,Shango,Hinduism. All of these society existed way before the christian era or the (no-offense) white man. A lot of these society have your flood story and your creation story but they are rejected as myths Why? The Bible story is no more valid then the ancient ones stories as a matter of fact some of the ancient story make more sense. Please People if you really want the truth do some research! The KJV has only been around for about 500 years! But the ancient ones story been around for thousands of years! Is it because these society was people of color? Naaaaaaaaah that crazy! Right??

Answer 1

That's why you shouldn't dismiss religions as mythology, all religions have the same likely hood as being true, it's something not very many people have come to grip with.

Answer 2

First of all, I'm not sure why the "white man" racial issues are being brought into this. When most people engage in discussions about religion, it never comes down to people placing skin color up high on the priority list. So I don't know why it's being done here.

Second, the difference between Christianity and the other ancient religions that you mention is quite simply this: we have living proof in the person of God Incarnate -- Jesus -- that He is real. As is the faith that He left with us.

You say that the Bible is no more valid than other ancient religious texts and stories. But you're leaving out one very important fact -- there are dozens of Old Testament verses that specifically predict the coming of Jesus to this earth and other events in His earthly life.

These verses existed hundreds of years before Christ's birth -- so it is definitely not a case of someone "making it up" after His earthly life was complete.

None of the "ancient stories" that you equate with the Bible can come close to matching that track record.

There are LOTS of Biblical events -- everything from wars to the construction of great buildings -- that have been confirmed by scientific study, especially in the form of archaelogical digs, and secular historical research.

Answer 3

Their is no so-called true religion. Just beliefs and faith. No one has proof. It can't be found in writing anywhere. All "religious books" have their "proof" that it is the one. In my opinion, that could show proof that they are all wrong. No one can know, they can only think they do. And that is fine. That is what faith is and that is a good thing.

The God of Christianity is only portrayed as white because people have chosen to do so. White people like to portray Jesus as white probably because that is what they are used to and that is what they are comfortable with. Their is nothing wrong with that. What is wrong is when they refuse to consider other possibilities. Their are some descriptions of what Jesus may have looked like in the bible, but none are complete. At least I don't think. Their very well could be.

As far as different versions of the bible. I think the better word would be translation. Equate it to a Stephen King book being translated into Spanish for others to enjoy. Just a different language. Content and meaning staying the same.

Answer 4

The god of the Bible is not portrayed as white except by painters and other artists after the Middle Ages. That portrayal is a cultural intepretation similar to black families with paintings of a black Jesus. An understandable visual familiarity projected onto their religious figures.
More generally, nearly all religions include some exclusive claim to Truth. I doubt an Incan priest would accept that Jesus was the son of God, so why would a Christian accept the Incan divinity? Religions by their very nature all consider themselves to be Right, not just Christianity.

Answer 5

It is written that Jesus is the Way, Truth & the Life, no one comes to the Father but by Him. He is the High Priest after the order of Melchizedech. He is also the Word of God that became flesh and dwelt among us.

Mohummad didn't die on the cross to pay for your sins. Neither did Budah or any other Spiritual leader. Jesus is the only one. As Franklin Graham said on T.V. last night. I love Franklin Graham.

All who see Jesus will find out what color He is now, after the resurrection, when it is God's timing. In His humanity He looked like the Jewish people did 2000 years ago. He was also prophesied about in the book of Genesis. He's been around longer than us. He said, "Before Abraham was, I AM.".

Answer 6

Because It Is!.....The Bible Is The True (As You Call It)...True Religion!......It Depends On Who You Believe....Since "Jesus Is The Way, The Truth, And The Life, And No Man Cometh Unto God Except Through Jesus"...(John 14:6).......Then It's Up To The Person,....Who & Want Do You Believe!...Do You Believe The Entire Bible Or Do You Believe Part Bible & Part Something Else Or Someone Else!.....Who & Want Do You Believe!...Because As A Man Think....So Is He.....

Answer 7

Doesn't sound like you really have an honest question here...just ranting. We are all people of some color unless you're albino.

Want to know what color the Lord is??? What race is this???

(Rev 1:14) His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
(Rev 1:15) And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
(Rev 1:16) And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

Many have (but not all) for centuries have denied the Lord; making Graven images of a blonde long haired man supposing it to be Christ...it is an abomination. It hurts some of the brethren before they gain the knowledge (if they do) that God is no respecter of men's persons.

Answer 8

I'm Christian, I'm white, but I don't believe that God is "white". I don't believe that Jesus was "white". I'm not sure what the question you're asking is, but if it's about Christianity being made up by white people, I'm going to have to disagree with you. Yes the KJV is not very old, but the manuscripts that it came from are. They are in Hebrew (some in Greek). Those are very old (all the way back to Jesus-time, imagine that). I don't believe that all the people in the Middle East are white. I don't believe that the Hebrew people are white either.

Answer 9

What you say is naturally historically correct.
However if you will stop and think a minute it only makes sense that the particular beliefs that any one individual may hold would be seen as the only way and the absolute truth.
If they didn't feel this way that wouldn't be their religion.
I myself am a Christian Pastor that puts all faith and trust in Jesus Christ.
But that's because I belief Jesus Christ to be the Son of God.
If I didn't believe those things I wouldn't be a Christian.

Answer 10

I don't like Christianity because I can't abide the living reality of the thing Christ has become. But in South America and Mexico the virgin Mary has beautiful black eyes and dark skin. In Africa the africans insisted on making her image pure white. In varies in europe so I dont think its as much about white as you think. I think you might find the roots of hindiuism and buddhism and zoriatrinism and taoism very interesting to name a few There are some truths in all the religions, except for a few. (like military-industrialism)

Answer 11

Most portrayals of Jesus are derived from the Roman empire and the catholic church. False doctrines and false depictions do not negate the truth of the Bible. Jesus said that no man can come to the Father (God) but through Him (Jesus). There is more than ample evidence that the Bible is true!
