Among all the religions on earth, why do we think Christianity (and none other) is true? How do we know Christianity is true?

  1. 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.
  2. The Bible presents a world that we see.
  3. 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.
  4. A true religion must engage the whole of the human nature, not just the mind and not just the emotions.
  5. A true religion must make sense out of history.
  6. A true religion must make sense out of science.
  7. 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.
  8. Christianity gives an explanation for the beauty of nature and the beauty of the noble side of humanity.
  9. I believe Christianity is true because of the historical credibility of the resurrection of Jesus.
  10. I believe Christianity is true because of hundreds of millions of people have had life-changing experiences, not just religious ones.
  11. I don't find the worldviews of Hinduism, Islam, or Buddhism either consistent, true to life, or true.
