Have you actually studied religion?
Of the top 10 I've actively studied 6, of those Only Christianity claims to put the average person in direct contact with God.
That is not to say other religions 'gods' don't contact people, but when they do there is something special about them which makes them prophets or emissaries, or whatever, or they are used as pawns. Christianity is the only religion that gives you one on one time with it's God. Other religions offer rewards for alliance/obedience. for those followers those 'spiritual rewards' are the reason for their obedience. Christianity offers audience with God, eternally.
If this is appealing or at the very least you want to know if what I said is true then simply A/S/K as outlined in Luke 11 and Allow Him to work with you.
That is not true, people claim to have different experiences with their beliefs, religion, and gods.
Where are you getting that parishioners of other/non Christian religions are placed in front of their gods as a matter of course/something that is supposed to happen to everyone. Examples please, I'm asking for a link not for a one off occourance but a link to rules where followers of a non christian god are to spend time with Him in this life.
Quote: It doesn't have to be at the collective level either, but individually.No, kinda does if you are comparing apples to apples. as I pointed out only Christians are the only ones who are to be able to directly communicate with God on a personal level. That was my claim, and now you are already back tracking???
Quote:The difference of Christianity from other religions is a terrible justification, all sovereign religions are different, otherwise they wouldn't be sovereign religions.Which again is my point, specifically the primary difference with Christianity is as a matter of course all Christians come in contact with God. All Christians are given the oppertunity to have a relationship with God here/now. No other religion allows for this. As this would be a blasphemous idea or statement to make.
Quote:You simply assume that your religion is trueI don't assume anything sport. that's the part you can't seem to get over. that someone has honestly and earnestly shaken down Christianity and found truth in it.
Quote:and tell people that they should allow your God to work for them, but this is no justification.Where have I said this?
Quote:I can just say that your God doesn't exist and leave it at that.
AYYYEEEE!
No one's ever put it that way!
Do you have proof of your claim?
