Zone1 What makes Christianity different from other religions?

That's doesn't explain the miracles

The "miracles" were not supernatural demonstrations of power over reality rube. They were demonstrations of the power of LOGOS, the WORD, Divine reasoning, which brought "the dead" (like you who died from sin) back to life, gave sight to the blind, cured the paralyzed, gave courage to cowards, and restored sanity to the insane.

Consider "the miracles", originally called "signs" that Jesus was the awaited Moshiach, explained.

or what Christ claimed he was here to do which was suffer death for the forgiveness of sin.

Sin is disobedience to the Law. The only way to do away with sin is to comply with the Laws demands. Jesus suffered death for trying to teach people the deeper implication of the words and subjects of the Law that reflect the wisdom of a loving and benevolent God and fulfills the promise of abundant blessings and eternal life here and now ON EARTH effectively ending, "the death", a curse, for anyone who hears the will of God, and fulfills it.

The Trinity comes from the Catholic Church where they borrowed it from paganism. The Holy Spirit is a force, not a person

Jesus spoke of the Holy Spirit as a person who would be sent by God to explain everything that Jesus taught.

"When HE comes, who is the Spirit of truth, HE will guide you into all the truth for HE will not speak on his own authority but will only tell you what HE hears, and make known to you the things that are coming. HE will glorify me, for everything he makes known to you HE will draw from what is mine. All that the Father has is mine, thats why I said "Everything that HE makes known to you HE will draw from what is mine." This is not about a ghost.

Jesus is clearly speaking about another human being, like him, being sent by God to do specific things on earth.

"When HE comes, HE will confute the world and show where wrong and right and judgment lie. HE will convict them of wrong, by their refusal to believe in me; HE will convince them that right is on my side, by showing that I go to the Father when I pass from your sight; and HE will convince them of Divine judgment, by showing that the prince of this world stands condemned."

Boo.

Accounts decades later by those inventing a religion and god, none of which are recorded anywhere else outside your fabricated bible but nice diversion again by a person who uses the Socratic method of pants pulling daddy’s pantleg with question after question when he answers none.

So you believe it was a conspiracy. Got it.

I refuted your beliefs and you can’t handle it.

I've heard it explained so simply, God's mercy.

No. You proved you believe the NT was a massive conspiracy. Maybe look up the definition of conspiracy, dum dum.

You are the one who used the term to divert. Not me. You can’t handle facts. You live in believing.

It's funny that you can't see your argument is the NT is a conspiracy. I sleep like a baby at night knowing that your lack of objectivity will have far reaching ramifications in your life.

This is I’d like saying prayer works when people get the same results praying to a pet rock it a billy goat. You display the common traits of all loving Christians by threatening ramifications for my non belief. Reason number 50 I have no use for your crazy belief system.
