As a christian do you dismiss everyone else's beliefs about god and only accept your own?

Question

Or do you accept that you have as much proof as anyone else and that you dont know for a fact your religion is right?

Answer 1

I won't dismiss what anyone says.
I can't prove I'm right so I give everyone the respect about their beliefs and I do expect the same in return.

Answer 2

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 ,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.

the cross. There was no other way. If there were, God would have done it.


What makes me think the Bible is the word of God?
Prophecy: The Old Testament was written before Jesus was ever born. The New Testament was written by the men who knew Jesus, who walked with Him, ate with Him, and learned from Him. In the O.T. there are prophecies concerning His birthplace (Micah 5:1-2), that He would be born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14), that He would be rejected by His own people (Isaiah 53:3), that He would be betrayed by a close friend (Isaiah 41:9), that He would die by having His hands and feet pierced (Psalm 22:16-18), and that He would rise from the dead (Psalm 16:10, 49:15). In the N.T. all these prophecies, and many more, are fulfilled by Jesus. Now, this is the question you must answer: "If the Bible is not inspired from God, then why does it have so many fulfilled prophecies?" How is that possible if the Bible were not from God?
Only God knows the future, has power over it, and can look into it to tell us exactly what will happen. In the Bible we have the fingerprints of God: fulfilled prophecy!
Wisdom: The Bible is full of the greatest truths about man and God, sin, and salvation. The Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5) is beautiful in its wisdom, humility, and love. The Psalms are incredible poetry of great depth and beauty. The N.T. epistles are great descriptions of love, forgiveness, longsuffering, kindness, etc. (Even if you don't want to become a Christian, studying the truth God has revealed in the Bible will greatly help you in your life.) The aim is not to merely get the person to use the Bible as a guide to good living, but to encourage him to read it. This way, he will at least be reading the Word of God, and be that much closer to conversion, because God's Word will accomplish what He wants it to (Isaiah 55:11).

Answer 3

I'm a christian but I don't believe in the church.
Since I travel around the world for my work I am quite open minded to all and do not dismiss anyone. I accept people as they are

Answer 4

As a Christian I believe what God has revealed about Himself through his prophets and his Son as recorded in the Holy Bible.

"Or do you accept that you have as much proof as anyone else and that you dont know for a fact your religion is right?"

"I" don't have a religion of my own. I have a right relationship with God through faith in the sacrifice that He himself provided as payment for my sin debt.

Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

No other religion has the proof that accompanies the life, working or miracles, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Here's a link if you want to examine the proof that the Bible is of divine origin.

Answer 5

There are questions to life that only Christianity can answer. And yes, I do know for a fact that it is right. "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." John 14.6
The Holy Bible is proof in and of itself to verify the validity of Christianity. It is the Word of God. What else is needed?

Answer 6

No. In religion you don't judge as you are not the creator who has all the facts about himself. You only explain what you know basing your views on the Bible anything more is not right our faith is not for bargaining what other people know about their faith you can't judge as that is what they know as per their faith and they might even have supportive quotes as well from their holly books. So if there is anything to differ in between two of a different religion a christian is not there to judge we leave judgement to the almighty but stick to what we believe in period.

Answer 7

As both a Catholic and a theologian I remember that Scripture says that God has written His laws on the human heart. Therefore ALL religious exposition probably stems from attempts to externalize what the members of a given culture realise internally. If that be the case, then it ill behooves a Christian to be negative about others' attempts to become closer to God. It makes sense to use their attempts to help point them in the fastest direction for that becoming.
