[QUOTE="Ph413, post: 71923814, member: 390579"] True. My problem is that I assumed that he lives in a Christian environment so I thought that, if he would to research God, then it would be much easier to do it through Jesus Christ. I think you are totally right. There are a lot of religions and, of course, because they are different at their core beliefs, then there has to be ONLY one that is correct, there cannot be two different religions that have the same beliefs. So, either there is only one correct, or NONE is true. Generally, first it would be polytheistic vs monotheistic religions. I'll just speed up things here and assume that he will get to the fact that, if any religion is to be true, it's going to be monotheistic one. Now, it gets to this. Judaism vs Islam vs Christianity. Judaism, Islam and Christianity all share the God of the Old Testament. That is their common ground. Islam teaches that New Testament has been corrupted and therefore, denies what was said about Jesus in NT. Christianity says that Jesus is the promised Messiah. Judaism denies both. So, at the core of the differences in these three religions is who they think Jesus is. At this point, we get back to what I wrote before and from studying the evidences, we can surely say, that what we know from Christianity (NT) about Jesus is what really is true (New Testament dates very early after crucifixion, it is written by eyewitnesses or by those who recorded their testimony, textual criticism says that the New Testament was handed down with great accuracy and evidences for the ressurection confirms that Jesus was God incarnate). But that still is for Him to find out [/QUOTE]
