    Christianity is exclusive ....it claims that only those who believe in Christ will find salvation..... but it is not narrow-minded, intolerant or bigoted. People can be broad-minded or narrow-minded but not ideas. Ideas are true or false.

    the Koran causes one to conclude that Islam consigns all infidels (non Muslims) to an eternal hell on the basis of the arbitrary decrees of Allah. What about jihad, the muslim concept of holy war?

    Even religions which claim to accept other religions- usually don't - ALL OF THEM claim that their path is far superior to all other paths.

    ( BUT If a given religion isn't superior or unique in important ways, then of what value is it for a prospective convert?)

    A LOT OF People claim all religions are the same and all religions lead to the same God….but...

    All religions are not the same nor do they lead to the same God...... In Hinduism the world is an illusion....... in Christianity it is real......The Hindu Brahman is anything but the biblical Yahweh....... In Islam the incarnation is blasphemy.......in Christianity it is central, while Allah and Jehovah are literally worlds apart......Buddhism is founded upon the denial of personality......while Christianity is founded upon the assertion of God's personality- and on it goes.

    Is Christianity alone fully true, and is Jesus Christ really the only way to God?

    The creation parallels the nature of its Creator through its unity and diversity. So we might just expect the same for the Creator's approach to salvation.

    There is only one true God, and there should be only one true way of salvation because the way of salvation must be consistent with the nature of the one true God,His grace, love, mercy, truth, etc.

    "Logically, since all religions contradict each other, there are only two options open to us. Either they are all false, or there is only one true religion. If there is only one God, there will be only one religion."

    The creation that God has made also parallels the nature of salvation. Like everything else in the world, salvation must be done correctly to be successful.

    Consider some examples of how life works, or doesn't work: What happens if you're driving your car in reverse? Or stopping in the middle of a busy freeway? What happens if you let your dog drive your car? Or if you drive on the wrong side of the road-or drive drunk? What happens if you don't drive correctly is that you injure or kill yourself and others. Driving the wrong way sooner or later has consequences, even if you're only a bad driver.

    When you build a house, what happens if you place the glass where wood should be and wood where the glass should be? What if you try to play tennis with a broken arm? Or use your hand as a racket? What happens is you will lose the game. Consider learning math or being in surgery. What if you try to learn math by reading comic books? What if you're scheduled for a routine appendectomy and the surgeon takes out your brain instead? In either case, you're brain dead .......our very lives may be at stake.

    If everything in the world must be done correctly to be successful, and if our lives are literally filled with examples of the problems caused for us when we do things incorrectly, why should we conclude that salvation is any different?

    Why should we conclude there won't be consequences for doing salvation wrong?

    And if our lives are already at stake in worldly things, its also possible that our souls are at stake in spiritual things. But a life is only for a period of time; a soul is forever.

    Then how much more vital is it that we be certain that salvation be done correctly if our very souls are at stake?

    Only Jesus can and does promise a new life in a new body on an earthly existence know as paradise..... all other "religions" can only promise some vague spiritual existence in another dimension(which is false)......at death it is either Heaven or Hell....

    Most religions have some good in them and may inspire one to live a better life, and even save some lives, but they lead to destruction at the end of that life. One must be discerning or perish. There is only one faith based upon a risen Savior and living God..... and that is Jesus Christ....

    JOH 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

    God knows your heart and He will guide you if you are serious. Please know that the judgment day is coming and you still have time to prepare. God did not create you for no reason. You have a choice to love others and in response they will love you.

    Please use your head and choose wisely, decide now before your time is up.

    Read Quraan, Know the facts.

    Also know that Jesus is not coming back, though most Muslims and all christians believe he is coming back.

    10:36 But most of them follow nothing but fancy: truly fancy can be of no avail against truth. Verily Allah is well aware of all that they do.

    53:28 But they have no knowledge therein. They follow nothing but conjecture; and conjecture avails nothing against Truth.

    47:14 Is then one who is on a clear (Path) from his Lord, no better than one to whom the evil of his conduct seems pleasing, and such as follow their own lusts?

    They are all the same, in most of their core elements. And none of them make 'sense.' Sense has nothing to do with religion. Faith is the opposite of Logic.

    All religions have good inspirational things to say (out of context of course) but none of them make any sense.

    None of them really, at least none that I know of. Buddhism isn't so bad, but it still has elements that make no sense to me. Born of a virgin? Re-incarnation? Karma?

    Hinduism.

    Believing God is everything.

    Everything is beautiful, look at nature itself; that is God.

    If you don't believe you should watch this video about "How do I know if God is real?" , it's lovely
