How could I prove to someone that this Jesus stuff is amazing? How do I show someone that it's different from what everyone else is preaching? How can I make someone believe that this love is incredible? I've seen allot of posts that supposed to help Christianity, but they all sound phony. How can I make it clear that this is real?

First of all you do not need to prove anything, living your life differently, making better decisions to show by example that you have found something that has given you a big turn around, if this person is close to you and you just want to share the experience with them, I would invite them to some sort of function that your church has be it a youth rally or a picnic, or whatever it is that they can mingle and meet everyone and get to know them outside of the pew. Honestly, words do not have much meaning when trying to describe things to others, because it is faith and feelings, live your example.
Blessings

My friend, only the Holy Spirit can show them. All we can do is tell them the gospel and our testamonies. The Holy Spirit has to do His own work after that. Don't let it frustrate you. The burden is off you if you can't make them see that Christianity is the truth and that we serve an awesome and loving Lord because you have done your part. The rest is between that person and God.

If you want people to see you have the real thing, then do not, do not preach to people or tell them they are hell bound. Have love for everyone and tolerance for all and do what is right and treat all with respect and people will see you are different than other Christians and ask you why.

How can you transfer your experience to me? You can't. Maybe you should read some eastern philosophy. Taoists and Buddhists are always looking for ways to express the inexpressible. Like here:

and in the entire Daode Jing:

"the name that can be named is not the eternal name". think about that. I think it's the exact problem you are struggling with.

You can't . religion is a personnal path, it is not up to you to make someone walk your path. You can only tell them about it so much. After that you are spreading the seeds of hate. just like that famous poem about footsprints in the sand , it is you and god's prints only, because it is supposed to be a path that you walk alone with your god.

You don't say anything.
You LIVE your faith. If they are interested, they will ask you.
You'll only turn people off by preaching and trying to "make" anyone believe. That is why we are so hated.
That is why Jesus is so hated.....because of people who might mean well but preach.

If you believe it fine. Tell other people. But don't be a pest. If they tell you to leave them alone, do it. Continuing to pester someone about it will only turn them away.
You cannot make it clear that it is real. There is no proof of Christianity, any more than there is any proof of Hindusim, Islam, Buddhism, or any other religion. To non-Christians, Christianity is no different than any other relgion, despite what it may seem to you.

Charlie, You can not prove your religion to anyone. It is all about a persons personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Just mention that the founder of Christianity was cruicified, dead and buried for 3 days and 3 nights and then He rose from the dead.
And of course, he is still alive today.

Another one.
I am saddened whenever i see someone who is brainwashed.
You know who else talks like this? Drug addicts.
"How could I prove to someone that this heroin stuff is amazing? How do I show someone that it's different from what everyone else is talking about..." and so on.
Mindlessness. How sad.
