Christians and Muslims believe in Jesus Christ, and their scriptures (the Bible and the Koran) reflect that belief. Technically, most Jews, as well as Wiccans, Hindus, Taoists, and even atheists and agnostics also believe in Jesus Christ.

But Christians alone believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God, and worship him as God.

Critics often ask why Christianity is any better than any other religion in the world. Of all the religions that exist, how can it be that only Christianity is true? If God exists, why can't God use different religions? Don't all paths lead to God? Skeptics ask these kinds of questions all the time, and unfortunately, few Christians have the answers. Therefore, in an attempt to demonstrate why Christianity is true and all other religious systems are false, I've prepared the following list of reasons for Christianity's superiority.

If truth is relative, then the statement that truth is relative is an absolute truth and would be a self-defeating statement by proving that truth is not relative. But, if truth is absolute, then the statement "truth is absolute" is true and not self-defeating. It is true that truth exists. It is true that truth will not contradict itself as we have just seen. In fact, it is absolutely true that you are reading this paper.

If we can see that there is such a thing as truth in the world, then we could also see that there can be spiritual truth as well. It is not absurd to believe in spiritual absolutes anymore than physical or logical absolutes. Even the statement that all religions lead to God is a statement held to be a spiritual absolute by many people. This simply demonstrates that people do believe in spiritual truth. Why? Because truth exists. However, not all that is believed to be true actually is true. Furthermore, all belief systems cannot be true since they often contradict each other in profound ways -- and truth is not self-contradictory.

Though there are other religions that have prophecies in them, none are 100% accurate as is the Bible, and none of them point to someone like Jesus who made incredible claims and performed incredible deeds. The Old Testament was written hundreds of years before Jesus was born, yet the Old Testament prophesied many things about Jesus. This is undoubtedly evidence of divine influence upon the Bible.

Please consider some of the many prophecies of Jesus in the following chart:

Fulfillment of prophecy can have different explanations. Some state that the New Testament was written and altered to make it look like Jesus fulfilled Old Testament prophecy (but there is no evidence of that). Others state that the prophecies are so vague that they do not count (but many of the prophecies are not vague at all). Of course, it is possible that God inspired the writers; and Jesus, who is God in flesh, fulfilled these prophecies as a further demonstration of the validity of Christianit

Christianity claims to be authored by God. Of course, merely making such a claim does not make it true. Anyone can make claims, but backing up those claims is entirely different. Jesus used the Divine Name for Himself , the same Divine Name used by God when Moses asked God what His name was in. Jesus said He could do whatever He saw God the Father do, and He claimed to be one with God the Father . Likewise, the disciples also called Him God. By default, if Jesus is God in flesh, then whatever He said and did would be true. Since Jesus said that He alone was the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and that no one can find God without Him, His words become incredibly important.

Again, making a claim is one thing. Backing it up is another. Did Jesus also back up His fantastic words with miraculous deeds? Yes, He did.

  • Jesus changed water into wine
  • Jesus cast out demons
  • Jesus healed lepers
  • Jesus healed diseases
  • Jesus healed the paralytic
  • Jesus raised the dead
  • Jesus restored sight to the blind
  • Jesus restored / cured deafness
  • Jesus fed the multitude
  • Jesus walked on water
  • Jesus calmed a storm with a command
  • Jesus rose from the dead
  • Jesus appeared to disciples after resurrection

The eyewitnesses recorded the miracles of Jesus, and the gospels have been reliably transmitted to us. Therefore, we can believe what Jesus said about Himself for two reasons: one, because what He said and did agrees with the Old Testament; and two, because Jesus performed many convincing miracles in front of people who testified and wrote about what they saw Him do.

Christ's resurrection

Within Christianity, the resurrection is vitally important. Without the resurrection, our faith is useless . It was Jesus' resurrection that changed the lives of the disciples. After Jesus was crucified, the disciples ran and hid. But when they saw the risen Lord, they knew that what Jesus had said and done proved that He was indeed God in flesh, the Savior.

No other religious leader has died in full view of trained executioners, had a guarded tomb, and then risen three days later to appear to many many people. This resurrection is proof of who Jesus is and that He did accomplish what He set out to do: provide the only means of redemption for mankind.

Buddha did not rise from the dead. Muhammad did not rise from the dead. Confucius did not rise from the dead. Krishna did not rise from the dead, etc. Only Jesus has physically risen from the dead, walked on water, claimed to be God, and raised others from the dead. He has conquered death. Why trust anyone else? Why trust anyone who can be held by physical death when we have a Messiah who is greater than death itsel

Why should anyone trust in Christianity over Islam, Buddhism, Mormonism, or anything else? It is because there are absolute truths. Only in Christianity are there accurately fulfilled prophecies of a coming Messiah. Only in Christianity do we have the extremely accurate transmission of the eyewitness documents (gospels), so we can trust what was originally written. Only in Christianity do we have the person of Christ who claimed to be God, performed many miracles to prove His claim of divinity, who died and rose from the dead, and who said that He alone was the Way, the Truth, and the Life All this adds to the legitimacy and credibility of Christianity above all other religions -- all based on the person of Jesus. It could not be that Jesus is the only Truth, and other religions also be the truth.

Either Jesus is true and all other religions are false, or other religions are true and Jesus is false. There are no other options. I choose to follow the risen Lord Jesus.

Protestants, Lutherans, Baptists, Catholics are some examples of religions that believe in Christ.

To correct the other person that answered this question: "Christian" is not a religion. Christianity simply believes that a person believes in Jesus Christ.

Christians believe in Jesus of Nazareth as the Christ, Son of God, and the Third Person of the Holy Trinity, that He is fully God and fully Human.

There are many types of Christians who share this belief: Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican, Protestant, Pentecostal.

Some other religions believe in Jesus as a human being, a great prophet, or even a mythical/symbolic figure of great wisdom. Jesus is mentioned in the Koran, revered by the Baha'i and Druze as a great prophet, and many Buddhists and Hindus see him as a boddhisatva or avatar, respectively.

Passing on the question of whether the Chrsitian god and allah are the same only two religions have Jesus and god in their beliefs.

No. Essentially Christianity, Islam and Baha'i believe in Jesus, although each is significantly different in what they say about Him. Other religions have other deities.

Will Jesus abandon you if you believe him to be god incarnate without being a christian?

If you believe Jesus is a god then you are a Christian, baptised or not. There are also religions that believe in Jesus but do not believe him to be god. There is no evidence in their literature to suggest they will or can be abandoned by Jesus. If you are not a Christian or any other religion that believes in Jesus then the question is moot, it does not matter if Jesus abandons you.
