SECTION 1-FROM ATHEISM TO CHRISTIANITY

1) Did Man’s Imagination Create God, or Did God actually Communicate to Man that He exists through our Imagination?

2) If so, most so-called Religions, such as Buddhism, Hinduism, Shintoism, Confusianism Taoism, and even Agnosticism are really Philosophies, because they still feel that God is unknowable even though He might have communicated with us. So they had to develop their own Way of Life, which could include their Interpretation of what a God might be like if He existed without really knowing Him..

3) In some Primitive Religions today, there is even the Belief in Many Gods, each God representing some control over some aspect of Human Life.

4) There are only 3 Major Religions in the World who came up with the conclusion that there is really only One God. They are 1) Christianity, 2) Judaism, and 3) Mohammedism.

5) Each of These Major Religions have their Own Book Expressing Their Beliefs.( Christianity, The Bible; Judaism, the Old Testament of the Bible; and Mohammedism, The Koran. ). OVER

6) But the Koran was written by one Messenger of God, whereas the Bible (Both the Old and New Testaments) were written by Many Messengers of God. So which Book would you tend to Believe?

7) Christianity, I believe, is the only one that effectively deals with Evil. Judaism has the Scriptural Structure for it in Genesis, but it tends to ignore it by believing that at the end of time a Messiah will come and Save Everyone, and we will live Peacefully on our Present Earth according to a Jewish Internet website I read.

8) Christianity believes that Evil is really caused by Original Sin (Genesis 3). And the answer is in Believing in Jesus Christ, His Life, His Death and His Resurrection for the Forgiveness of, and Penalty for our Sins. Proof of all this can be found in the Four Gospels in the Bible about Jesus Christ written by Four Different Messengers of God, and also in my Booklets “Who is Jesus Christ” and “The Logic of Christianity” published by Amazon, which also could be bought from me individually for 200 Pesos.

9) Another interesting point is that even two of His Step Brothers ( Their Letters can be found in the Bible, James and Jude) accepted Jesus as the Son of God, and even God Himself.
