Christians, of all religions out there with morals and precepts, why is yours the most supreme of them all?
I am just curious, with all the religions out there, how are you convinced that all sects of Christianity is correct? Then if so, are the other religions wrong? No criticism, just another thinker.

There is in every religion a primary operating rule. In Christianity it is known as the "Golden Rule":
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
If you were to take the time to examine that rules counterpart in other religions you will find the way Jesus said is the best if for no other reason then it is proactive.
When it comes to have guides for how to live life to its fullest the teachings of Christ have never been improved on and no one before him said it better.

That is what the bible says to do. Find the truth in the bible. Jesus said, "test them by their fruits" So that means their actions. Do they profess a religion and belief in God, but do not help others? Do they go to war and kill others? They lie, steal and commit adultery. They say do not kill but they kill when it suits their will. So finding a religion that doesn't go along with the political leaders that oppress the people. www.jw.org to find the truth

All religions teach particular views of understanding, and morals. It is extremely arrogant if we insist that our HUMAN ideas about God are the only right ones. But Christianity does not say that. We Christians don't claim that OUR IDEAS are right; we have been convinced that God's revelation of Himself is truth, and once we trust in Christ (as God's supreme self-revelation) we then experience the truth of His promises. We love to share how precious those discoveries are. Unfortunately, some Christians go over-board and give the impression that their experiences are God's truth, when they should have it the other way around - God's truth leads to experiences of Him, which corroborates our faith (trust) in Him.
In all other religions pluralism and relativism arise, having come from human reflection. And if ideas about God are just that - human concepts invented by human thinkers - then there is no absolute truth in religion. Everything becomes human speculation and there can be no guarantee that there is any god who corresponds to one's projected ideas. As Blaise Pascal pointed out, 'God alone, ultimately, can speak correctly about God.'
That is why Christianity is founded upon the person of Jesus Christ, as the Son of God who became a man in order to reveal to us God's way of being saved from our lostness - our sin. Thousands of people heard and saw Him over His short time on Earth, with over 500 being eye-witnesses to Him being raised from the dead, over a 40-day period. Some then saw the resurrected Christ ascend bodily up into Heaven, with the promise that He would return in great glory, with hosts of angels, to start the Day of Resurrection and Judgment.
Now, if THAT is all a fiction, then all of Christianity is a fiction. It is as simple as that. But if the Bible account of Jesus, as written by those who knew Him personally, is true, then Christianity alone gives us God's precepts and God's morals, because all other religions clash at many points with the claims of Christianity. They cannot all be true! Quote from 1st source below:
"All religions do not say that all religions are the same. At the heart of every religion is an uncompromising commitment to a particular way of defining who God is or is not... Every religion at its core is exclusive. Jews and Christians disagree about whether Jesus was the Messiah; Christians and Muslims disagree about whether Jesus died and rose from the dead. Hindus believe in 300,000,000 gods, while Muslims[Jews & Christians] believe in only one. The fact is that truth by its very nature is intolerant of that which is false."
The supremacy of Christianity lies in the supremacy of the risen Christ. Look to Him, and not His followers, who sometimes get it wrong.

There is only one God - God Almighty is our Father, our Creator and Maker and He is God our Saviour. That's the first thing, so that eliminates all the other false gods, such as runs other religions and cults, such as Hinduism, Islam, sikhism etc. because all those human men who ran those cults are dead because every human being dies. But Jesus who is GOD the Father - "Everlasting Father" (Isaiah 9:6) is very much ALIVE.
Another reason why all other cults and religions are useless is because not only do the followers put their trust in dead human beings, but in addition, they put their trust in some cases in dumb man-made idols which they worship, or elephant gods etc. That's ridiculous to think those things can ever help them. Even logic tell us those dead objects or animals can't be our God or help us.
Thirdly, in every one of those false religions, those who are their followers ALWAYS HAVE TO DO SOMETHING TO GET TO GOD OR HEAVEN.
Whereas, in Christianity, God in all His mighty power, reached down to mankind in our distress and helplessness and HE MADE THE WAY FOR US TO GET TO HIM, not the other way around.
We can't do anything to save ourselves. All other religions try to do that. Christians know that Jesus Christ is our Saviour. He died for us, and nothing and nobody else can save us but Jesus Christ and He is the way to the Father in heaven - so we MUST go through Him and not any other false god or way

I've never considered my Christian faith to be 'supreme', I just believe it to be true.

I am a 43 year convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. This church is the restored church of Jesus Christ to the gentile nations preparatory to the return of Christ. It is led by revelation to living apostles. The Holy Ghost is given to faithful, covenant members of the church, so most members of the church know through personal revelation from the Holy Ghost the nature of God and that He lives. The Holy Ghost eliminates confusion and produces a strong sense of goodness, direction, certainty, and intelligent enlightenment.

Because Christianity is God's Original Religion and all other
religions are wannabes that has no truth in them
Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
After the serpent deceived Eve, and sin entered the world.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God, The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. [John 1:1-3]
God gave the "Gospel" to Adam and Eve.
This was, and is the same gospel we have in the Bible today.
This gospel was expanded upon down through the ages by means of God's Patriarchs, Prophets, Judges, Kings, and Jesus ( God's Son )
I believe this gospel to be the ORIGINAL religion from God and ALL other religions are a variation of, or are in lieu of God's original Gospel for the salvation of mankind.
The Hebrews/Jews had part of this gospel, and now Jesus completed it, and this gospel is taught today in all Seventh-day Adventist churches.

First off there is Christendom and then there are Christians serving God Almighty in truth and spirit as Jesus said, so only true Christianity is correct. All other religions are false as they do not accept Christ Jesus as their savior and Jesus is the only way to the Father.
