Your question does not make sense to me.

So your point is...we should not believe that Jesus is God because there are a lot of religions that can be right? Well how can you tell that what Christian(protestant) believe is not true?

You saying that Christiants are ignorant. Well, that's not true, fortunately.

I understand that there are thoudands of religions out threre. However, I respect what they believe. They should not attack just because they think there are right. They don't want peace?

i know im right... my God said you shall have no other gods before me....also no other religion provides a provision for God's forgiveness of sin, which is why I believe Christianity to be the only true way to God. Jesus said He is the only way to God and that all people must follow Him to enter heaven. All other religions are man's attempt to become acceptable to God. Only Christianity says that God alone provides the only means to be acceptable to Him. So, either Christianity is true and all other religions are false or Christianity is false and God does not hold people accountable for law breaking. Personally, I would not want to rely upon God ignoring His own rules. It doesn't seem to be logical reasoning.

So why do some atheists attack religion on your premise it is just what you believe in?

There are a infinite possibilities but only one truth.

I am a Christian and I hope you believe me when I say I am not trying to be nasty with my answer, but rather trying to get your attention. You ask in your headline: "Christians, don't you understand?" Your argument that follows is utterly ridiculous and shows that you haven't the foggiest idea what you're talking about! Allow me to explain.

Let's say that someone comes up with a new "math" next week. His math, like the current math, is made up of mathamatical principles, rules, etc. The trouble is that only he understands what he claims to be this new math. No one else can make heads or tails of it. Many call it utterly ridiculous! Are they being dull and ignorant? Are they being narrow minded? Would you argue that any math conceived by anyone, anywhere, at any time is just as good as any other math?

Whether you see it this way or not, that's precisely what you are suggesting about religions great and small, known and unknown. They are ALL of equal weight, equal value, equal legitimacy, etc. Christians in your mind are religious elitests or religious snobs because we think our religion is best.

1. Yes, we are aware that those who believe in these other religious tenants believe them as we do ours

2. What YOU and THEY don't get is that Christianity, which is a follow-on to Judaism is THE oldest, THE most studied, and THE most validated of all religions. We are to religion what mathamatics is to the study of numbers. Just as you would look askance at some new math that comes along claiming to be THE math, you should look askance at these new religions that pop up.

Consider a few facts if you will:

Atheists would have us believe that man made up the concept of God. That's simply not true and can be seen in our history. If man came from evolution without a God then CLEARLY man's history would have started without mention of a god, ANY god. But all of man's early history includes God. All of man's early history includes the concept of a God. If man invented God one day then that day would be noteworthy in the annals of human history. People would have been like ... "WHAT?!" Why haven't I heard anything about God before now? How did YOU find out about God and we've never heard of Him?! No, history proves that God has always been a part of our past. Always!

Judaism is the oldest religion! The early books of the Bible are some of the earliest books of recorded history. Again, history proves that God has always been here AND history proves that it's the God of the Bible who has always been here.

Let me stop to ask you if you believe that some other so-called god predates the God of the Bible? If so, where's your evidence? If you believe that ALL gods of ALL religions carry equal weight credibility wise then make that argument too! I would LOVE to hear it!

Now, the Bible is divided into two sections: The Old and New Testaments. The Old Testament is all about that original God who was, is, and always will be. That God is the one that man's history has always known about and always talked about.

Did you know that the Old Testament includes more than 400 prophecies to the coming of Jesus Christ? Do you understand that Jesus Christ is that Old Testament God simply walking the earth as a human being? We call Jesus God made man OR God who has come as a man. So, Jesus, the God of the New Testament, 2,000 years after the God of the Old Testament was prophesized more than 400 times in the Old Testament AND fulfilled those prophecies in the New Testament.

You suggest that any ol' god of any ol' religion is just as good as this? Seriously? The historian Josephus talks about Jesus. Josephus SAYS that Jesus claims to be the son of God. Josephus SAYS that Jesus has great followers. Josephus SAYS that Jesus performed great miracles.

That's independent testimony!

All these other so-called gods can hold up to such scrutiny?

Jesus's disciples were given ample opportunities to recant their claims that Jesus is God. Yet, they were willing to DIE for their claims. And die they did! They were murdered for refusing to change their stories! Now you tell me of ANY other claimant of ANY other faith who is willing to die for his claim that this or that is the one true god? Seriously!

Again, atheists would have you believe that Christianity is a fairy tale, just like any other religion. But the Bible has been studied by more people than any other book. It's been a keenly reliable source of history, archaelogy, and yes ... religious study! I'll give you some examples:

The Bible mentions the earth being round BEFORE anyone knew it was round. The Bible mentions mountains at the bottom of the sea BEFORE anyone knew they were there! The Bible talks about Pontius Pilot when the rest of human history could find NO MENTION of Pilot. In fact, historians believed that the Bible was wrong about the guy who sentenced Jesus to death until an archaelo

My computer monitor is powder blue. So because there are an infinite number of shades of blue my computer monitor isn't powder blue? Owned... i think so.

I too would like to know the point of this.

I think everyone pretty much understands that.

Nope you're wrong there's only one possibility and that is the Truth.

your not right in the head are you

So whats your point?

I AGREE; WE'RE ONLY RIGHT ABOUT OUR OWN FAITH.

THANKS FOR LOOKING OUT.
