The christian who say - all those who claimed were Prophet of God are dead, but Jesus is a live, therefore Christianity must be the true religion.
The question is what is the use of him being alive if he, like those who are dead, is absent?

He is only absent to a nonbeliever. Jesus Christ is alive for all Christains. And now Jesus has been born again in Israel. He is about 6 years old The same as the antichrist is 6 years old and born in Chicago. The end times are here. I pity all who have resisted God. MARK MY WORDS. Armagedon is at hand. The war in the mideast will not end. Not until Jesus and his followers battle the evils. AND WIN!!!

Jesus promised the Holy Spirit to those who trust Him. Before He ascended he said this:
26 "When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me. 27 And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning.
( John 15 )
and not long after that he said this:
7 But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 8 When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me; 10 in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; 11 and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.
( John 16 )
What we Christians are doing is responding to the Holy Spirit who tells us what to do. One of the things the Holy Spirit brings to us is godly wisdom. So of us are more tuned in than others.
So what I am saying to you is that there isn't really any death. You talk about death like it's the end, when it isn't the end, but only a new beginning. And because of this we know that Jesus is neither dead nor absent. His Spirit is with us. We Christians have long been telling non believers about the 'trinity', a word coined to describe what is seen in the Bible having to do with the nature of God. People still don't believe us, but that is not our fault.
But here is one reason why it is important to take a close Biblical look at the Trinity. Because the Spirit of God is God, and Jesus is God, and the Father is God - all of that means that there is agreement with them and they are one and they teach us what we learn.
So the reason why we can say with confidence that Christianity is the 'true religion' as you put it, is because God has His Spirit RIGHT HERE WITH US WHILE WE ARE DOING IT! We are not guessing, or being pridefully stubborn, we say what we say because we know what we are talking about - God taught us what to say.

Who ever said anything about Jesus being absent?
Jesus said in Matthew 28:19-20:
19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

first of all, christianity is not considered "the true religion" because Jesus is alive. there's way more to it, but thats not your question. hes not absent, you just think he is because you arent getting what you want. totally serious, not being condescending

Joh 16:5 But now I am going to Him who sent Me. And not one of you asks Me, Where are You going?
Joh 16:6 But because I have said these things to you, grief has filled your heart.
Joh 16:7 But I tell you the truth, it is advantageous for you that I should go; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you. But if I go, I will send Him to you.
Joh 16:8 And having come, that One will convict the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment.
Joh 16:9 Concerning sin, because they do not believe into Me;
Joh 16:10 and concerning righteousness, because I am going to the Father, and you no longer see Me;
Joh 16:11 and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
Joh 16:12 I have yet many things to tell you, but you are not able to bear now.
Joh 16:13 But when that One comes, the Spirit of Truth, He will guide you into all Truth, for He will not speak from Himself, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will announce the coming things to you.
Joh 16:14 That One will glorify Me, for He will receive from Mine and will announce to you.
Christ physically left the earth, and will return in the same way He left. All will then see Him as He is, the sovereign, omnipresent God. Since the Holy Spirit is God, the third member of the trinity and indwells all believers, God has not left us, He is present, in all believers.

He is preparing for me a place to live with Him forever. He has left His Holy Spirit within me to give witness to Him.

Does God or Christ have to be standing in front of you for you to experience a blessing.

No use at all if you are simply wanting to use him.
