Christianity has several major differences with every other religion on earth. If someone asked you, “What is different about Christianity?” what would you say to them?
One big example is the central defining moment of human history — when Jesus Christ rose from the dead after three days. No other god or person has ever done that.
Another key difference is that the central text of Christianity — the Holy Bible — is the only ancient document that accurately describes the true nature of human beings.
When you study other religions, you will note that there is always a checklist of tasks that you must carry out in order to reach paradise. Islam, for example, teaches that your good deeds and bad deeds will be weighed in a scale; you will only reach paradise in that faith if your good deeds outweigh your bad deeds (or, if you strap on some dynamite and take the terrorist short-cut). In the religion of global warming, you can be forgiven of your carbon sins by purchasing enough carbon credits from Al Gore.
Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormons and many other faiths likewise have “salvation checklists.” This is known as “works salvation” and the philosophy behind this permeates many areas of life. It was embodied by JFK’s famous statement, “Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.”
