Because of the change in my life, I know Christianity is true! Only God could have done that! HE lives in me!!! What a joy!!! I prefer to be called a "Christ follower" rather than a Christian, cause some people don't know the true meaning of "Christian!" They think it means "religion!"


God Bless!

Top 5 Answers? - The survey saysssss.............. (in best Richard Dawson voice)
1. Testimony of Holy Spirit
2. Testimony of the Bible
3. Testimony of Creation
4. Boatloads of empirical and historic evidence supporting it, and
5. Only demonstrable and satisfying ontological metaphysic with any consistent epistomolic foundation.

My answer would be rather long. I'm philosophically minded and I tend to use a classical apologetic approach. A good example of this approach is in Dr. Norman Geisler's & Frank Turek's book I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist.

You're dating yourself, lol, I remember Richard.

How do I know it's true? Factually, through prophecy. There have been found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, copies of the book of Isaiah that scientists date no later than 200 B.C.

Intimately, I have seen His work in my life.

[Psalms Fan]

In a nutshell:
-The Resurrection of Christ
-The change that He has produced in my life
-The history of those whose lives have been lived in Christ (ie, church history)

[Partaker of Christ]

Because the my Father in Heaven reveal the truth of His Son to me, by the Holy Spirit.
The scriptures confirm what I have witnessed in my spirit, and heard with my ear.

Wow. That is almost impossible to answer on a message board. Because I see the evidence for a creator in the world in which I live. I have also seen the evidence of Christ in my life. Specifically since my conversion 2 and a half years ago. I can see evidence of Grace before hand, but I was not a believer.
Most of all, Christ gave me a new heart and because of it, my faith has been confirmed.
Once I opened the door to belief in God, the logical worldview was Christianity. In the words of Norman Geisler, "I don't have enough faith to be an atheist."

Through prophecy fufilled in the Bible.
Through all that is around me.
Through the Lord's words to me.

Thank you for your answers. I'm not looking for right or wrong answers, this is just a survey I'm doing, and I do appreciate your participation. As a follow-up question, would you say that Christianity is not what but who?

Many Blessings,
RW

I don't know how one could see it as false.

[IMINXTC]

Through prophecy fulfilled.

The whole focus of true Christianity is Christ so I'm less concerned with the "what" I'm labeled as and more concerned with the "who" I'm following.

Absolutely!!!

It is my firm belief that the Truth, the deposit of faith, given to us, is not a body of facts, but God Himself, when Christ was incarnate as the person of Jesus, and when the Holy Spirit was poured out on us at Pentacost. God Himself is the Christian faith, not a body of facts. He is Truth, not a body of facts. And the christian life is a life of knowing God. And the more that we crucify the flesh and put to death our passions and grow deeper into communion with God and unceasing prayer, the more we know Truth and grow in Truth, and the more Truth is lived out in our lives and in the life of the church.
