Gregorius Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 [quote name='Apotheoun' date='04 September 2009 - 09:27 PM' timestamp='1252114038' post='1961085'] Christianity as a revealed religion has always been exclusionary as it concerns the truth claims made by other religions, but the reasons put forward by the Holy Fathers for this approach are based upon revelation, which finds its fullness only in Christ, and not upon created reason taken alone. [/quote] In my opinion this is also a reason that [u]sola sciptura[/u] ultimately does not work with Christianity. A truly lasting faith cannot simply be found written down, even if the word is divinely inspired. One needs to meet the Word Himself. But yeah, a way to "prove" Christianity would be to prove Christ.

That has absolutely nothing to do with his point about the impotence of the argument he was criticizing. [/quote] It does make me comapre the incentives that Mohammad had to falsify his religion compared to the early Christian disciples, it just does not seem to be worth the ire of the Romans to go around preaching and not fighting back when they oppress you.

There is no way of knowing for sure your religion is the true one, except through blind faith. [/quote] Atheism included
