The Uniqueness of the Christian Faith
About this Book
Critics frequently link all religions together as essentially the same and equally valid (or invalid). To do so is irrational. Any honest comparison reveals significant contradictions between the various religions, and between the religions and the Christian faith. This proves they cannot all be true. This detailed presentation of evidence shows that the Christian faith is not merely one religion among many. Whether or not one believes the Christian faith is revealed by God; it is clearly distinct from all others. Christianity should be considered as in a separate category from the religions of the world. This uniqueness can be readily discovered by anyone who studies what the Christian faith actually teaches in comparison with the teachings of the world religions. The challenge is to discover these unique features rather than ignoring or denying them as is usually done. This book verifies thirteen areas in which the Christian faith is unique when compared with the religions of man. For example, one uniqueness is that of the biblical concept of sin. None of man's religions take this issue seriously enough, or have no final solution for it. The biblical teaching is that man's rebellion (sin), created such a impassible barrier between God and man, that nothing man can do removes it. Only God could remove the barrier which He has done in Christ. God has provided the only means of forgiveness and restoration to fellowship with Himself. This is what is meant by the statement that the grace of God has provided salvation or deliverance from the consequences of our sin. It is the only solution to man's dilemma.
