Religion is the most influential thing in this world. Among all, Christianity is chosen by many people, and they keep spreading their ideologies. A user asked the forum, “Why did you choose Christianity over every other religion?” Here are the top responses.
REVEALED HIS TRUTH
“God revealed his truth to me. He was very convincing.”
IT MAKES MORE SENSE
“Makes more sense than the Quran, Hinduism, or Buddhism.”
BETTER EXPLANATION OF HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS AND THE PROBLEMS
“Haven’t heard a better explanation of the absurdity of human consciousness and the problems we face.”
I FELT CALLED TO CHRISTIANITY
“I felt called to Christianity for a long time in my life, seeing things around me that I couldn’t explain. Now, I certainly cannot leave. Praise be to God.”
GOOD AND SOLID DEFINITION
“I can’t say I’ve chosen Christianity over every religion because I don’t think there’s a good, solid, commonly held definition of Christianity. I’ve chosen to strive to follow Christ because of the love and understanding He preached, and the examples He gave on what’s right and wrong through parables resonate with me deeply.”
HE PASSED THROUGH A LOT OF PAIN TO SAVE ME
“First, you have a real relationship with your God; other religions’ perception of God is just a big guy in the sky that you have to obey so that he doesn’t punish you; in Christianity, my God chose to suffer and to pass through a lot of pain just to save me. Second, the teachings of Christianity, in my opinion, are way better than the other major religions.”
I GREW IN CHRISTIAN SOCIETY
“Back when I was a Christian, the answer was simple: I grew up in a Christian society, and pretty much everyone I knew was Christian. I was brainwashed to believe God was as real as the sky is blue. I could not choose any other religion when I was young, and for several years, I had no reason to seek out any other religion.”
I FELT A MIRACLE
“Ever since high school, I felt that God(Christ) calls me daily. Every day, it is a different miracle. I can see small details, miracles, and changes in my life that were not here before when I had no religion or belief. Also, I feel most calm and rational when I pray. Grants me peace that is like out of this world, which it is, since it comes from Christ, and He overcame this world.”
BAPTIZED AS A BABY
“I didn’t choose; I was born into it. I was baptized as a baby and confirmed it as a teenager. I grew up like this, and it just stuck with me. I didn’t actively choose Christ over anyone else; I just didn’t choose anyone else over Christ because what he said and did made sense to me.
If I were born into a Muslim family and peer group, I would probably be a Muslim, the same with Judaism. Might be interesting to know if I would convert.”
JESUS GIVING ME A SENSE OF RELIEF
“I love my God, and Jesus died for my sins, relieving me of my wrongs. I’m not perfect, but I can try to be more like him and improve my life and the lives of others through Him.
Plus, it’s easy to tell if I’m doing something wrong or right. Morality and justice are complex, but WWJD is always an excellent approach to answering stuff.”
NO OTHER RELIGION COMES CLOSE TO PROVIDING THE TRUTH
“I didn’t. I never saw Christianity as an alternative to every other religion. It’s always been the alternative to believing nothing at all. No other religion comes close to providing the truth, meaning, purpose, and framework that Christianity does. It’s either Christ or nothing, and I’m still clinging to Christ.”
CHRISTIANITY DISPROVES ALL OTHER RELIGIONS
“Christianity disproves all other religions. Also, it is flawless in its doctrine and is heavily historically supported. Personal experience as well: I’ve had prayers answered and felt true communion with the Holy Spirit, as a partaker thereof, and have tasted of powers from the world to come and the good gifts, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.”
CHRISTIANITY IS IMMANUEL
“Christianity is not a religion. Religions are rules, dogmas, and outward regulations to control behavior. Christianity is Immanuel; God with us who redeemed us from ourselves, the world, and hell by his sacrifice, to redeem us to God.”
IT IS GROUNDED IN REALITY
“Because it’s grounded in reality & real historical events (The crucifixion & resurrection of Jesus Christ), it’s not written like a fantasy book, and it’s changed the most deprived individuals like no other.”
AN EYE-WITNESS
“No other religion has a savior who was resurrected. There is an eyewitness account of Jesus Christ here on Earth after his death. God bless you!”
