Is Christianity the true religion?

All religions , including Christianity , are false . They are all founded on a big lie . Between science and religion , you can trust science to be more reliable and plausible . Science has once and for all debunked all religious claims as bogus . You ought to realize that it is not really about god or spirituality but organized religion is big business . It takes a lot of courage and insight as well as intelligence to be able to say goodbye to religion because the truth lies not in it but in science . When the bounds of exact science are widened , the domain of religion is narrowed . Hundreds of years from now , when more people become enlightened and truly educated , religion will have crumbled as a useless , outmoded and irrelevant institution . In fact , the doom of religion is imminent and inevitable .

You are a clever '14 year old' looking for an answer relating to Salvation.

No, Christianity is not the true religion - and this will hurt a lot of people but the truth must be told.

How will you judge a man who say one thing today and change it the next day - a liar or hypocrite!

Jesus was a man and a Prophet sent ONLY to the Jews - Jesus said so himself in Matthew 15:24.

After Jesus left earth a man who called himself 'Apostle' Paul surfaced and changed what Jesus preached. After Paul, the Church Fathers starting from 325 AD at the Council of Nicea created a new image of Jesus which you have today - (1) The only begotten Son of God or (2) Jesus is God?

So what the Church Fathers did was to change or contradict everything Jesus said to match the new image they gave to Jesus:

(a) Matthew 15:24 - He answered, "I was sent ONLY to the lost sheep of Israel."

(b) Matthew 28:39 - Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

(a) John 14:28 - "...I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.

(b) John 10:30 - "I and the Father are one."

(a) John 14:9 - "Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?

(b) John 5:37 - And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me. You have never heard his voice nor seen his form,

Jesus, when he was alive said in Mark 12:29 that "God is ONE"

Prophet Muhammed said the same thing in Qur'an 2:163 - Your Allah is One Allah; there is no Allah save Him, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

Both Jesus and Muhammed followed the same religion 'Islam' by declaring that God is ONE - therefore Islam is the only true religion.

Those who are demonising Islam are doing it to lead people astray and from Salvation - do you own reading and may the Good God guide you aright!

So this is a critical time in your life... What you decide about your faith is starting to become less about your parents choice, and more about what you find to be true. Because that's what it comes down to... You. At the end, whether Christianity is right or wrong, you will be responsible for YOUR choices. You have to decide. To have faith, or not to have faith. To trust whole-heartedly that God is the truth, or that he isn't. This is the responsibility of all humans. In my stance, God exists absolutely with out a doubt. If you think about it, nearly all of the theories in science were all questioned until they were undoubtedly true. No theory was readily accepted, all were tested, all were doubted. Christianity is one of the biggest "theories" ever known. Why? Because there is no legitimate fact that all can see (besides the Bible), or else all would be devout Christians. It takes faith, faith that even though you do not see now, you believe anyway because you trust it's the truth.

I was brought up believing in the God of the Bible and his son Jesus Christ as the divine creators of Heaven and Earth.

- Many believe that fantasy.

Now I have been trying to make science co-exist with my religion trying to find a way to make it work.

- Try thinking, it works for most of us.

Something I see usually from Christians is some person talking about how they supposedly went to heaven/hell and came back, and told of what they saw.

- those are called hallucinations.

What if they are just trying to make money from this crap?

- That is why they only happen in the US, where a sucker is born every minute.

I honestly just need some concrete evidence that Christianity has some potential of being true.

- The "religion" is true, but as all religions, it is based on a proven fantasy.

is this whole "Black Magic" or "Dark Arts" stuff. "Satanic powers" or whatever. Is that stuff real?

- It is to those who "believe" it.

Science and Christianity do not contradict.

Maybe you are listening to the opinions of atheist scientists and not actual science/evidence?

According to the 1st law of thermodynamics, the energy in the universe is constant; meaning it cannot be created nor destroyed.

Nowhere in the universe have we found energy being created or destroyed! Energy is simply transfered from one form to another.

Even with nonconservative forces such as friction, that may be acting upon an object, energy is not actually destroyed but rather transformed into thermal energy (the frictional force).

Where did all the energy from the big bang come from? It couldn't have been created. Furthermore, evidence shows that our universe is constantly expanding- infinitely.

So where did this infinite amount of energy come from? It must have been transfered from something of infinite energy.

Genesis 1 explains how God created the universe by SPEAKING. When He spoke, the big bang occured. We can still hear this echo.

Carlos I'm a christian who once was a crack cocaine addict I smoked up my entire fortune and was a student of practical satanisim . Satan kept me supplied with drugs I could ask the devil at 3am in the morning when I had no money and the devil would send people to my house who had dope to give me.

So I know satans real.

Finally I was dead broke driving a truck with no brakes on the road and I went to buy dope and got arrested I spent 40 days in jail with 3 felony charges hanging over my head.

But I prayed to Jehovah God and then a kind judge sent me to a christian regeneration program instead of handing Me prison time.

In the Christian regeneration program I was miraculously healed of the urge to use drugs but I wanted to never return to that life so I asked to continue and did continue a supervised life 4 years.

Well it's 26 years latter I'm not an addict I'm a child of God he proved he could rescue me from Satan and crack cocaine.

Yes gods real. I'm living proof.

1. Is there only one true religion?

Jesus taught his followers only one religion, the true religion. It is like a road leading to life. Regarding that road, Jesus said: “Few are the ones finding it.” (Matthew 7:14) God accepts only worship based on his Word of truth. All true worshippers are united in one faith.—Read John 4:23, 24; 14:6; Ephesians 4:4, 5.

2. Why do so many different religions claim to be Christian?

False prophets have corrupted Christianity and have used it to further their own interests. As Jesus foretold, they present themselves as his “sheep” but act like hungry wolves. (Matthew 7:13-15, 21, 23) False Christianity developed especially after Jesus’ apostles died.—Read Acts 20:29, 30.

3. What are some features that distinguish true worship?

True worshippers respect the Bible as God’s Word. They strive to live by its principles. So true religion differs from religion based on men’s ideas. (Matthew 15:7-9) True worshippers do not preach one thing and practice another.—Read John 17:17; 2 Timothy 3:16, 17.

The true religion honors God’s name, Jehovah. Jesus made God’s name known. He helped people to know God and taught them to pray that God’s name be sanctified. (Matthew 6:9) Where you live, which religion promotes the use of God’s name?—Read John 17:26; Romans 10:13, 14.

4. How can you recognize true worshippers?

True Christians preach about God’s Kingdom. God sent Jesus to preach about the Kingdom. God’s Kingdom is the only hope for mankind. Jesus continued speaking about it until his dying day. (Luke 4:43; 8:1; 23:42, 43) He told his followers to preach about God’s Kingdom. If someone approaches you to speak about God’s Kingdom, to which religion does he likely belong?—Read Matthew 10:7; 24:14.

Jesus’ followers are no part of this wicked world. They take no part in political affairs or social conflicts. (John 17:16) Also, they do not imitate the world’s harmful practices and attitudes.—Read James 1:27; 4:4.

5. What is the primary mark of true Christianity?

True Christians have outstanding love for one another. From God’s Word, they learn to respect members of all ethnic groups. Although false religion has often strongly supported the wars of the nations, true worshippers refuse to do so. (Micah 4:1-4) Rather, members of the true religion unselfishly use their time and resources to help and encourage others.—Read John 13:34, 35; 1 John 4:20, 21.

Which group bases all its teachings on God’s Word, honors God’s name, and proclaims God’s Kingdom as mankind’s only hope? Which group practices love and does not support war? The facts point to Jehovah’s Witnesses.—1 John 3:10-12.

Both science and religion can co-exist dear. Both can, and presently do, much to the dismay of those who despise one or another. Einstien himself once said "Science without religion is lame, and religion without science is blind", and if you look at the history of both, you will see that indeed that is true. For example, without science, the knowledge of Christ wouldn't have spread as it did, and the love that God has for the world. Without the the lessons that true religions teach (of love), we may have already wiped ourselves out with our own nuclear arms.

Another way to look at it is that science is our vehicle, while the true religion of love is our compass.

Don't be fooled by those who try to divide one from the other, they both co-exist, and that cannot be changed, even though as i mentioned, some may deny it.

Most people who experience MDE's are not fully dead. Chemicals release from the brain making them hallucinate as if they're actually living what they're thinking, some people experience this while sleeping, I believe its called lucid dreaming. If someone thinks they are about to die, likely they'll think about what might happen or about an afterlife. Thinking this will put them in that situation and hallucinate it. It would only last until their brain fully shuts down though.

I understand what you're asking, I think, but let's be clear that "religion" is mostly man's invention of tradition and custom. To me, Christianity and religion are not the same thing. Jesus spent much of his time and energy lambasting religion and the vile practices of the Pharisees. We have to define the difference between a false religion and true religion.

No religion other than Christianity has a book like the Bible that tells us about the origin of everything, and who we are, where we came from. Any religion or practice that disagrees with the Bible is a false religion/practice. Through the New Testament, Jesus becomes the Temple. Any religion that exemplifies the teachings of Christ, that strive to be like Him, is the one true faith, openly worshiping through religion. Religion is more of a means to Christianity, in my personal opinion, because Jesus didn't have much good to say about religion, or is my bias showing?

There is something in true religion which is its essential root. It has fundamental matters which cannot be dispensed with under any circumstances. There is something which is vital, without which there is no spiritual life. This has nothing to do with tradition and custom and societal hem length.

C. H. Spurgeon said it beautifully:

The root of the matter is firm faith in the Redeemer; it is to be able to say from the innermost heart, “I know that my Redeemer lives.” Not I think so, but “I know”; for saving faith is certain, and the true believer is a positivist. Faith abhors conjectures, it will not put its foot down upon fictions, but rests upon matters of fact. Faith never deals in the imaginary goods of opinion, theory, speculation, and probability; she searches for the priceless pearl of certainty; she needs to know. Such was the faith of Job, and he expresses it in firm, decided, clear language, saying — “I know that my Redeemer lives.”

This is the only true religion that relies on the only Word of the one true God.
