What makes Christianity stand out from all the religions in the world as the truth?

A few reasons.\nJesus was the only one prophesied about before His work on earth.\nJesus was the only one who was raised from the dead.\nJesus was the only one who fulfilled all of the old testament prophesies.\nIf you actually study the bible, you can see the words are true and even talk about the doubters that gave you answers.  \n2 Pet 3\nThere is no other religion that gives you the power of the Holy Spirit.  If anyone doubts this, they doubt from non experience.  I have the power of the Holy Spirit and have experienced it first hand.  I am an eyewitness to its power.  \nThe Word of God is the purest form of wisdom I have ever read.  It's too perfect to be of man.\nThose that doubt it have never studied it or put its words into practice.\n\nI am very saddened by all the doubters on this website.  It is just the sign of the times.  Make no mistake about it.  EVERY knee shall bow and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.\nPhilippians 2:10,11.\n\nWhat the doubters don't understand is that whether they believe in God or not, He still exists.  When they find themselves in hell, they will wish they would have listened.  By then it's too late.\nProverbs 11:7  When a wicked man dieth, his EXPECTATION shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perisheth. \n\nAny expectation of pleasentness after death will be gone away after a non believer dies.  To the haters, I say, repent and serve God or suffer death in hell.\nIt is real, I assure you.

Jehovah's Witnesses are the only true Christians. True Christianity as practiced in the first century and by Jehovah's Witnesses rejects all the paganisms mentioned in your question.\n\n1. True Christianity draws its teachings exclusively from the bible, rather than from philosophy. Doctrines such as Trinity, hellfire, and immortality are not found in the bible.\n(Mark 7:7) It is in vain that they keep worshiping me, because they teach as doctrines commands of men.\n\n2. True Christianity works to make known God's personal name. No group has done more to advocate that name than Jehovah's Witnesses .\n(John 17:6) I have made your name manifest to the men you gave me out of the world.\n\n3. True Christianity recognizes the active role of Christ as heavenly King NOW, not just as a storybook character in a manger or dying helplessly. Witnesses look to Jesus as their Head and King who is ruling in heaven already.\n(John 3:36) He that exercises faith in the Son has everlasting life; he that disobeys the Son will not see life\n\n4. True Christianity is not just formalism, but is a way of life for its adherents. Jehovah's Witnesses have a real reputation for honesty, integrity, and faith. Their worship shuns pageantry and sacerdotalisms.\n(Isaiah 1:15-17) Even though YOU make many prayers, I am not listening... Learn to do good; search for justice\n\n5. True Christianity is known by its members love for one another. Witnesses do not go to war, and do not take up arms against anyone much less members of their own religion.\n(John 13:35) By this all will know that YOU are my disciples, if YOU have love among yourselves.\n\n6. True Christianity is separate from the world. Unlike the clergy of Christendom, Jehovah's Witnesses remain neutral to human politics and nationalism, looking instead to God's Kingdom through Christ Jesus as the only solution for all mankind's problems.\n(John 15:19) Now because you are no part of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, on this account the world hates you\n\n7. True Christians follow Jesus' command to preach. No religion has more prominently emphasized preaching by all its adherents around the globe.\n(Matthew 24:14) And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations

Many people find a beauty and moral truths in Christianity, regardless of the imperfection of the humans who brought the message.  Christianity is not superstition.  The words and days are not magic, but representations of ideas.\n\nReview again Christs' response that there are only 2 commandments, the most important is to love God, and the next to love your fellow man.  All other commandments from God follow from these two.\n\nDon't worry.  Be happy.  This is faith.

Here is an AWESOME website that compares different branches of Christianity (and other religions):\n\nhttp://www.religionfacts.com

Christianity is about following Jesus and choosing to walk in his way. Truth be known, much of what claims to be "Christianity" is not compatible with Jesus. An irony, it there ever was one. \n\nAs to the difference between Christianity & Islam? Jesus.

Lets take it further. There is only one belief system in the world whose God humbled himself, came to earth, and suffered & died for his followers. And that is why Christianity stands apart from the rest and makes it so unique. See, the other gods demand, demand, demand. But Christianity's God loves and gives and blesses!

I will agree that many go off of hear-say!\n\nmany people judge other religions off there own, because they are mutually exclusive.\n\nFor example, Jesus says he is the only way to a right relationship with God, so the others must be excluded.\n\nChristianity says God came to man for salvation, most other religions say your works gain you favor with God, again it can't be both!\n\nAs for half truths, people like to be God and choose what they like from religions. \n\nSome like the salvation of Christianity , but don't like that God disassociates himself with homosexuality. So they take the Love aspects of God, but dismiss the Just aspects of God!

It's entirely up to you. \nThere is no absolute proof; therefore, whether the bible is true or false is merely an opinion. \n\nI, however, believe it is mainly fiction. If you compare Christianity to other religions, such as Buddhism, although many Christians are too close-minded to do this, you will see broad comparisons between the messages trying to be conveyed. Buddhism provides guidelines to live by, ways to live in self-actualization. The bible does the same in a different method. The ideas in the bible are hidden; they are dressed in a story as though it's needed to be interesting to be convincable. \n\nI personally take most books in the bible as a story with hidden symbolism. Many people take these stories more seriously; they refer to them as though they were there and that there is no other way. \n\nAs long as you are open to other's beliefs it doesn't matter whether you think the bible is a lie or it is the word of god. Just respect that, although some are placed in a seperate religion stereotype, we are all human and our beliefs are our individuality.

Religion...If you look at them all...god based in someway,sprinkled heavily with man's do's and don't's\nAfter years of searching,Church going,even serving in Africa on missions...I found that religion in it's self is poison,and even more deadly to those who have never heard about The Christ Jesus.\nReally.......The Holy Bible is the only guide to knowing the truth, After all it's the book they (Christians)say they are fallowing.\nMyself...I claim no religion...When I am asked what religion are you? I say,I'm a fallower Of The Christ Jesus.\nJust keeping it simple...After all...who did Jesus hang out with while here on earth...The simple.

Christianity will oppose any development that threatens its validity.Christianity cannot stray from the Bible which is what gives it validity.Challenge the Bible and you challenge all Christians including the "Roman structure of Christianity,headed by the Roman Pope'..The Dead Sea Scrolls are an on hand challenge..What about unknown historical documents that did not survive!!!!!

Christianity contains the true teachings of Jesus Christ. Christendom takes the teachings of Christ and corrupts them. For example: Jesus taught that his Father, Jehovah, is the only true God. ( John 17:3)  He also said his Father is greater than he is. (John 14:28) Christendom twists that around and either makes Jesus equal to God or they make Jesus God himself.\n\nJesus taught his followers to love their enemies. Those in Christendom have participated in some of the world's bloodiest wars.\n\nJesus taught his followers to "go and make disciples of all the nations." (Matt. 28:19 20) The clergy of Christendom is happy just to have people attend their churches so they can get money from their followers.\n\nChristendom is apostate Christianity.

Being religious does not blind people to truth. It constrains and biases their thinking just like culture, social context, upbringing, education, etc. do. I think all of us, whether religious or not, are biased in the way we think and to that extent distort truth.\n\nWhat is unique about religion is that a set of things are held to be true on the basis of faith rather than scientific reasoning.

It is such a broad term "Christianity" that no one would listen to just one person.  Just the history of Christianity shows that as soon as one person starts to speak they're followed by a group of others all trying to speak louder.\n\nThe Bible, since it's the basis of Christianity, is the only thing that covers "all" of Christianity but even quoting from it leads to much confusion and disagreement.\n\nSo, the answer is, No body is speaking for all of Christianity.  Just individual speakers for parts of it.

I think all religions are fundamentally the same.  All religions arose out of trying to explain the unexplainable.

The gospel of Thomas contains material that supports a gnostic view of Christianity, where each believer is to meditate and pray and come to know God by himself rather than trust into mama church and let the priest tell him what is correct.\n\nUnderstandably, organized religion has taken a dim view of this.

True religion is about the truth and finding the truth.  However majority of religion is about distorting and suppressing the truth.

Jehovah's Witnesses represent true Christianity and true worship.\n\nIt seems signficant that the relatively small religion of Jehovah's Witnesses are the ones best known for their worldwide preaching work. Yet Jesus commanded that ALL who would call themselves "Christian" perform this public work:\n\n(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And, look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.”
