Trivia Is Christianity the One True Religion? [In brief]

[GildartsTale]

Yes, Christianity is the one true religion. That may sound awfully dogmatic and narrow-minded, but the simple truth is that Christianity is the only true religion.

Christians do not go around saying Christianity is the only way because they are arrogant, narrow-minded, stupid, and judgmental. They do so because they believe what Jesus said. They believe in Jesus, who claimed to be You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now. (You do not have permission to view the full content of this post.

He was either telling the truth, He was crazy, or He was a liar. But since everyone agrees that Jesus was a good man, how then could He be both good and crazy or good and a liar? He had to be telling the truth. He is the only way.

Christianity is not just a religion; it is a relationship with God. It is trusting in Jesus and what He did on the cross (You do not have permission to view the full content of this post.

Buddha didn’t rise from the dead, nor did Confucius or Zoroaster. Muhammad didn’t fulfill any detailed prophecies. Alexander the Great didn’t raise the dead or heal the sick. And though there is far less reliable information written about them, people believed in them.

The scripture is right when it says in You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now., “This precious value, then, is for you who believe. But for those who disbelieve, ‘The stone which the builders rejected, this became the very cornerstone,’ and, ‘A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense’; for they stumble because they are disobedient to the word, and to this doom, they were also appointed.” (NASB).

The mathematical odds of Jesus fulfilling prophecy​

“The following probabilities are taken from Peter Stoner [1] in Science Speaks (Moody Press, 1963) to show that coincidence is ruled out by the science of probability. Stoner says that by using the modern science of probability in reference to eight prophecies, ‘we find that the chance that any man might have lived down to the present time and fulfilled all eight prophecies is 1 in 1017.” That would be 1 in 100,000,000,000,000,000. In order to help us comprehend this staggering probability, Stoner illustrates it by supposing that “we take 1017 silver dollars and lay them on the face of Texas. They will cover all of the state two feet deep. Now mark one of these silver dollars and stir the whole mass thoroughly, all over the state. Blindfold a man and tell him that he can travel as far as he wishes, but he must pick up one silver dollar and say that this is the right one. What chance would he have of getting the right one? Just the same chance that the prophets would have had of writing these eight prophecies and having them all come true in any one man.”

Stoner considers 48 prophecies and says, “We find the chance that any one man fulfilled all 48 prophecies to be 1 in 10157, or 1 in 10,00,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 000,000,000.” [2]

The estimated number of electrons in the universe is around 1079. It should be quite evident that Jesus did not fulfill the prophecies by accident. He was who He said He was: the only way (You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.).

Hi! Puwede bang magcomment dito? Baka isipin mo inaasar kita ah hahaha may katanungan lang naman ako sa post mo, hindi naman siguro masamang magtanong ..

1. Masasabing bang tunay na religion ang isang relihiyong Kristiyano, na tumatawag at gumagamit din sa pangalan ni Kristo pero humiwalay at bumuo ng sariling religion?

Are they still part of what you called "true religion" because they also call themselves "Christians"?

2. Paano po masasabing "true religion" ang Christianity sa pangkalahatan kung iba-iba po ang turo, pagkaunawa at interpretation ng iba't-ibang sektang Kristiyano? Eto po kasi yung nabasa kong paalala ni apostol Pablo.

1 Corinto 1:10

At eto naman ang ipinanalangin noon ni Jesus

Juan 17:21

Gusto ko lang din malaman ang iyong paliwanag tungkol sa tekstong ito. Wala naman sigurong masama kung ibabahagi mo din tutal gumagawa ka din naman ng mga thread dito


Salamat sa sagot.

1. Short answer. Yes and No. There are what we called. Fundamental Doctrines of Historic Christianity or The Core Doctrines of what defines Christianity from the teachings of the Apostles of Christ to the early Church Fathers then to the Councils, to the Reformation, to the Protestantinism, and to us in the 21st Century.

• If you have time try studying it for yourself. For me it takes years and years of study to fully understood what I said above.
• If a religion/denomination under Christianity holds to the Tenets of Historic Christian Faith then it belong to the universal body of Christ. Then if not, it is false.

2. CONTEXT. One must understood the Context of the verse in order to interpret it correctly. Context is by means to understand what the intent of the writer and the original readers at that time. Read the whole chapter. Scriptures interpret scripture.

- 1 Corinthians 1:10-16 - Apostle Paul was not talking about teaching and doctrine. Paul was talking to the church of Corinthians about divisions on whos to follow, whether Paul, Chepas or Christ? Paul argue to church that we should not follow men but Christ. Since we are saved by Christ.

- John 17:21 - Being in one speaks about unity. Unity in purpose and commandment and the great commission. But
does it mean we don'ts disagree with each other? The Apostles even had heated disagreements,
[Acts 5:22] is one of the example. In other words the unification is in the Core Tenets of Historic
Christianity.

Note: Even in my circle of friends (with different theological standpoint) who I know, who holds the Tenets of Faith. We can still disagree with secondary issues about Soteriology, Eschatology, etc. But we can still fellowship with each other since we all agree that our denomination/religion/works cannot saved us only Christ alone. Soli Deo Gloria.

I will be posting in the future about, The Fundamental Doctrines of Historic Christianity. Stay tune.
