Among all the religions on earth, why do we think Christianity (and none other) is true? How do we know Christianity is true?
- YHWH is the kind of God we would expect if a God truly exists, and Jesus is the kind of person we would expect to see if God visited the planet.
- The Bible presents a world that we see.
- The Bible portrays "religion" not as a way to earn a place in God's graces, but as God reaching out to us, to love his way into our hearts.
- A true religion must engage the whole of the human nature, not just the mind and not just the emotions.
- A true religion must make sense out of history.
- A true religion must make sense out of science.
- Christianity teaches purpose, significance in humanity, forgiveness for wrongs, life out of death, hope for the hopeless, redemption, fairness, love, beauty, a God who is there, knowledge, conscience, renewal, and meaning.
- Christianity gives an explanation for the beauty of nature and the beauty of the noble side of humanity.
- I believe Christianity is true because of the historical credibility of the resurrection of Jesus.
- I believe Christianity is true because of hundreds of millions of people have had life-changing experiences, not just religious ones.
- I don't find the worldviews of Hinduism, Islam, or Buddhism either consistent, true to life, or true.
