SO then everyone goes to the magical place in the clouds?

Answer 1

I have been exposed to other cultures (US and abroad) and numerous religions. None of it changed my mind. I've made a choice to follow Christ.

Answer 2

I have studied all the larger religions of the world and I am now a Christian.
There are hundreds of prophesies that have come true in our bible, over 300 on Jesus alone. E-mail me and I'll send you the list.
The bible is a historical document and there are many archaeological finds from the bible. One is the tomb of the high priest Ciaphus that had Jesus arrested. Another is the walls of Jericho, the bathes from King David, the city of Ur found from Abraham and so so much more. It was almost like God wanted us to find them. And we did.
Also there are many non christian documents on the man Jesus, many knowledgeable atheists know the man Jesus was here.
I didn't buy evolution theory, even though I have a science degree and I think our environment points to a creator so I went on a search and found Jesus. It made total sense where the other religions didn't.
Islam-many writing do not match early documents including the dead sear scrolls

Hinduism believe the universe has no beginning or end and science shows a beginning. And reincarnation made no sense to me. This is very similar to Buddhism and they don't believe in a creator/God.

Christianity is very unique in that we don't get to heaven, paradise, or whatever they call it by our good works. Only in Christianity are we saved by our faith in a person who died for us. If you ask people in other religions how good does one have to be? They can't answer.
Anyway there is a huge amount of information for you to study if you are sincerely interested.

Answer 3

This is a difficult question to answer because it involves discussing some principles that the person you are witnessing to may or may not agree with. For example, does he or she agree with you that truth is knowable, that God would attempt to communicate with His people, or that only one religion may be right? Usually, I start by acknowledging the difficulty of coming to an easy answer. However, I tell them that I do have an answer; I am sure it is the right one, because it is an answer based on evidence. What kind of evidence? Prophecy and its fulfillment (see question # 34), Jesus and His miracles, the resurrection of Christ, etc. Then I ask that person if he or she knows of these things happening in other religions.(1) The answer is invariably, "No." Then I point out that they have only happened in Christianity. If any religion were true, Christianity fits the bill.
Religion is whatever you feel is right.
How do you know what you feel is right? Haven't your feelings ever turned out to be wrong? Are you are saying that what you feel determines truth? If so, then you are putting yourself in the place of God, and looking to yourself for what you "feel" is right.
If religion is whatever you feel is right, then that could lead to chaos. What if some people had a religion where they felt stealing was acceptable? And what about lying and cheating? Would you trust someone who believed in a religion that felt it was alright to steal, lie, and cheat?
Hitler felt killing Jews was right. He was wrong. The Bible says that the heart is deceitful and untrustworthy (Jer. 17:9). If you could come to know truth by what you felt, then the Bible, which is the revelation of God, didn't need to be written. But, it has been written, and it has revealed that only God is the Source of truth, not your feelings.
I've never known truth to contradict itself. What if someone felt that something was right, and another person felt it was wrong? Would they both be right? If your statement is true, then how could there be a contradiction like that, if feelings determined truth?

Answer 4

I think Christianity is right because it preaches Love, Forgiveness and Jesus Christ being our Saviour who died to save the world. It teaches Peace and everlasting life through Christ.

It teaches people to be loving towards one another, which encourages survival for one another. It rejects evil in all forms. It preaches the Gospel Truth and there are no doubts, no lies, no corruptions, pure facts with hundreds of prophecies fullfilled and foretold propheics being fullfilled to this day!

The Gospel Truth has fullfilled hundreds of prophecies which prove that the Bible is the Truth and that is what people need to believe in. THE TRUTH.

Answer 5

Well I dont.

I think God is right.

and I think the people who say that God is one and He has created everything on earth and we are all His creatures, are right also.

Because it takes a lot for a human to say: I have no credit for any of this, its all Gods.

And humans are all about selfishness. So an act such as giving credit of everything to God, is the most unselfish thing and CANNOT be generated by humans. It must be an idea originating from God.

Answer 6

This is a great question. People's blind following of whatever their perents or social influence teaches them is very bizar. I think people in general are inherently weak and insecure and need someone to guide them.

Answer 7

I most certainly have experienced other cultures and religions. Several of them in fact.

My religion is right for ME and that's all I care about.

Answer 8

It makes sense to me.

I was raised and live in a world of different religious beliefs.

I have studied many other cultures.

Answer 9

You are right when you say the one I chose is the correct one.

Answer 10

Because religion is a mind control device, and a very effective one as we have seen over the years. Also, they may be afraid to admit that they may be wrong, and proving that would be a huge emotional blow to them.
