Meaning and purpose can ONLY be found in Christianity

[bhsmte]

No other belief system claims that God became Man and died for Man.

Claims, are meaningless. Anyone, can make claims.

 

[Ron Gurley]

No other belief system has this "gospel":

Jesus the Christ, the God-Man, Son of God, Son of Man, THE Divine Messiah, TRUE Man, TRUE God, (many names/titles) etc...
has come down / was sent down from the heavenly realms to earth to SAVE Man from eternal spiritual death (separation from God).

 

[Ron Gurley]

No other belief system emphasizes the SPIRIT of Man.

Spirit...Greek 4151...pneuma...

I.the third PERSON of the Tri-Une God, the Holy Spirit,...with the Father and the Son
A.sometimes referred to in a way which emphasises his personality and character (the "Holy" Spirit)
B.sometimes referred to in a way which emphasises his work and power (the Spirit of "Truth")
C.never referred to as a depersonalised force
II.the spirit, i.e. the vital principal by which the "human" body is animated
A.the rational spirit, the power by which the human being feels, thinks, decides
B.the soul "of man"

SOUL...Greek 5590...psyche...
C.that in which there is life
i.a living being, a living soul
II.the soul
A.the seat of the feelings, desires, affections, aversions (our heart, soul etc.)
B.the (human) soul in so far as it is constituted that by the right use of the aids offered it by God
it can attain its highest end and secure eternal blessedness,
the soul regarded as a moral being designed for everlasting life
C.the soul as an essence which differs from the body and is not dissolved by death (distinguished from other parts of the body)

Mark 12:30 (NASB)
AND YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD
WITH ALL YOUR HEART ( kardia ), AND
WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, ( psyche ) AND
WITH ALL YOUR MIND, ( dianoia )AND
WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.'( ischys )

 

[Ron Gurley]

No other belief system declares the JUDGMENT of immortal SPIRITS by God.

Hebrews 9:27
And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die (Body/Soul comb) once and after this comes judgment,(of Spirits)

 

[Ron Gurley]

No other belief system declares and emphasizes the power and event of Jesus' RESURRECTION.

John 11:25
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies,

 

[Ron Gurley]

No other belief system has so profoundly CHANGED THE WORLD!

 

[bhsmte]

All opinion. Which by the way, you are certainly entitled to.

 

[Tinker Grey]

None of that makes it true.

 

[ViaCrucis]

No other belief system claims that God became Man and died for Man.

Buddhism is the only belief system that says Siddhartha found enlightenment while meditating under the Bodhi Tree.

What truth? Please demonstrate this truth, with something other than preaching.

Carl Marx would like a word.

 

[Ron Gurley]

Marxism failed.

 

[Desk trauma]

Marxism failed.

Spectacularly, but it profoundly changed the world.

 

[Ron Gurley]

Marxism and all other "ism's" and "religions" contain no world-changing ABSOLUTE SPIRITUAL TRUTHS and WISDOM sent by God to Man.

 

[Desk trauma]

Marxism and all other "ism's" and "religions" contain no world-changing ABSOLTE SPIRITUAL TRUTHS and WISDOM sent by God to Man.

Yet the still change the world in radical ways.

Marxism and all other "ism's" and "religions" contain no world-changing ABSOLUTE SPIRITUAL TRUTHS and WISDOM sent by God to Man.

It may be spiritual truth to you personally, but if you think this applies to all, mere opinion falls short.

More opinion. I am quite sure, the 2/3 of the worlds population who follow a different religion, would disagree.
