What makes christianity more true then greek mythology? Why are there religons that existed before christianity? Why wouldn't god have sent his word to his earlist people?

Good questions. Here's my answers:
First of all, Christianity started with Christ (hence the Christianity ).

Secondly, God WALKED with Adam in the Garden, and it was not irregular to hear audibly the voice of God throughout Old Testament times, so He didn't need to put His words in a book. And Noah was old enough to have known Adam when Noah was old enough to understand such stuff, so there wasn't a need for a Bible around the times of Noah, because Adam could just tell him.

Anyway, I could probably think of more, but I have to be somewhere soon. I'll be sure to post back later if I think of more or if you have any more questions.
God bless!

You're welcome, man. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate. I love it when I get to help people out. And I like to be able to think about what I believe and why I believe it. And it's good to ask questions, in any case. Keep growing in the faith!
God bless!

What makes christianity more true then greek mythology?

Hi !

I'll try to answer this part. Something is either true or not true, not somewhat true and more true. Greek mythology and Christianity are mutually exclusive; they can't both be true. We know Greek Mythology (I love the stories, by the way) to have been the very definition of a hybrid pagan religion which uses personified nature images to explain natural phenomena. The gods of the Greeks (and the Egyptians, Norse, and Mesopotameans) were made in the image of the people who worshiped them. Christianity is not like that, instead, it did not attempt to explain things like why thunder occurs and instead focuses on revealing this God, instead of revealing the world; and instead of the Hebrews creating God in their image, God makes it clear that the opposite is true. God is still a mystery in the Old Testament, but the Hebrews responded to Him as He had revealed Himself.

What makes Christianity more true than Greek mythology? Simple, follow this logical syllogism:
1) God is the greatest.
2) There can only be one greatest.
3) Conclusion: There can only be one God.

Thus, Greek mythology is impossible.

Then why did god say "You shall have no other gods before me"? Foreshadowing? Anyways, you cannot make conclusions like "There can only be one greatest". And "God is greatest", because you have nothing to base it on. Don't say the bible, it's to easy to refute.
Now, to the question, Religion in cultures vary, they all basically explain the world. (Besides Buddhism maybe others) now Taoist's believe in Tao (or Dow) created everything but is just a force of energy that runs through everything.
Conclusion: Cultures usually have different beliefs.

that would be if you agree the literal translation of the bible. Do you really think adam was made on the 6th day? We evolved, and Homo Sapiens have only been around for 250,000 years, so i hardly think the reason he never had to put is thoughts into words works. Adam obviously represents our completion of evolution which God started and watches over today.
