One more thing to mention about Christianity: The roots of Christianity are in 11 disciples who were uniquely placed in history. They (along with a handful of devoted women disciples) saw Jesus after He had been killed and miraculously resurrected. Think about it. The fact that the majority of these men, (including Peter who was crucified upside down) died witnessing for Christ and His resurrection testifies to Christianity’s authenticity. The fact that they died as martyrs for their faith doesn’t necessarily differentiate them from Muslims or martyrs of other faiths. However, the fact that only they themselves truly knew whether or not Jesus rose from the grave speaks to the authenticity. What did they have to gain? They were persecuted, imprisoned, beaten, and isolated from everyone including their families and neighbors. If they knew that Jesus had not been resurrected do you think they would have gone through that agony? This fact adds to the list of things that point to Christianity being true and that Jesus is truly God.

Hi,
I sorry to hear that.
What happened to make you lose your “faith” in Jesus Christ?
One thing that we must remember is that Christianity is very unique. All other religions except Christianity rely on their good works to justify themselves so that they may get to Heaven. Christianity offers no illusions in that regard. Christians know that we are sinners and there nothing we can do to justify ourselves to the holy and righteous God of the universe. Only Jesus, Himself, perfect and sinless offering Himself on the cross as the atoning sacrifice for our sins can pay our sin debt that we all owe God. Jesus took the rap (and punishment) that each one of us deserves! Only He can justify us and makes us clean again.
Have you ever prayed to God and for forgiveness for your sins and asked Jesus to take control of your life?

Blessings,
Greg

It’s been over five years now since I lost my faith, and I still haven’t found anything that would make me think Christianity is any more true than any other faith. In each faith I see ppeloe acting in admirable ways, finding ways to interpret texts in a more modern light, and leaving out the barbaric parts. These days I’m less concerned with what motivates ppeloe to do positive things, and am just happy that they are doing positive things. The only times I speak out against religion is when it is used to harm ppeloe, which, sadly, still happens way too often.
