Zone1 What makes Christianity different from other religions?

[ding]

or 144,000?

How so?

rarely----I prefer PRIMARY SOURCES-----like you

Google can answer the question you asked.

Name one person who said here’s his dead body. Name one person who said there was no resurrection. Name one person who said Jesus didn’t perform any miracles. Name one person who said Jesus wasn’t put to death for sorcery and leading Israel into apostasy.

hear I am. People were not crucified in Roman Judea for "sorcery" or "leading israel
into apostasy" In fact-----find someone who was put to death for apostasy in Jewish controlled
Judea. The "miracle" issue is interesting-----as far as I know----"miracles" are not a credential
for the rank MESSIAH. In fact, they are even sometimes SUSPECT. Jesus was crucified for
SEDITION against Rome. Even if you implicate the "HIGH PRIEST" Caiaphas----that person
represented Rome. He was not then considered a JEWISH LEADER by jews nor is he now---
ie historically (unrelated to the execution of Jesus)

I don't know whether I've already posted in this thread.

But strip Christianity down to it's barest component, what makes Christianity different from all other religions is that it is a relationship with the risen Christ. It is a relationship and not based on some kind of concept or rules, regulations, dogma, doctrine.

24,000 written manuscripts say otherwise.

ok-----I googled------not impressed----all stuff written long after the fact---
as credible as the MIRACLE of LOURDES or the LOCHNESS MONSTER

It’s in the Babylonian Talmud that Jesus (Yeshu) was put to death for sorcery and leading Israel to apostasy.

"risen Christ"-----I never met the guy-----he seems to have "risen up and gone" long ago

It’s been my experience that people who have a preferred outcome for something have to learn the truth about it for themselves.

He was executed in Babylon? -----like around 500 BC? Do you know what MIDRASH is?

It’s evidence. It’s not meant to impress you, just inform you.

First Christians worshipping Jesus as God corroborates the accounts in the 24,000 written manuscripts.

Never before had a major religion sprung up from the persecution and death of its leader. Especially when they were persecuted for it.

The Christians persecuted non believers. Does that mean non believers had the truth?

Is it a red herring like the two questions you are asking?

In an age where people believed in Greek gods, myths and supernatural and claims of visions were commonplace

"risen Christ"-----I never met the guy-----he seems to have "risen up and gone" long ago

Not for me. He exists. He is real. His presence is experienced.

While I judge no one's heart or their own experience, I believe all can know the risen Christ. All they have to do is want it, ask for it, and be willing to accept it.

I was wondering. If he is risen (from where?)

Is he walking around, amongst us?

oh -----like so many others. Buddha, Confucious, "JIBRIL" KRISHNAH and the ever present
Elijah ----and then there is Mary----people talk to her all the time

There were three of them there’s a town in the Camargue named after them.

Sorry. Deflecting, diverting, changing the subject does not change my definition of what makes Christianity different from all other religions in any way, fashion or form.

I will say, I do consider it an evil thing to attempt to destroy the faith of another person. Jesus of Nazareth was pretty strong on that point.

I like reading history of people like Buddha, Confucius, the people of the Bible. I don't have a relationship with any of them however.

I cannot explain my relationship with the Risen Christ but it is real. All who have that relationship know it is real. It has to be experienced to understand it.

oh so christianity is "different" because of YOUR SUBJECTIVE sense of it----ok. I have socialized
and worked with many muslims----they have the same sense about THE KORAN---which is imbued
with holiness have been created along with the creation of the UNIVERSE. I have been told that once
one reads the KORAN one is forever changed. ----I read it in English translation (PICKTHAL) but
was not forever changed because one has to read it in arabic
