Universal rejection of Christianity exists, or so it seems, because the god of this age has blinded men from the truth (2 Corinthians 4:4).<\/p>\n

And in the case of Christianity, I am reminded of the saying, “In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”<\/p>\n

People are shocked in disbelief that Christians claim Jesus is the only way unto salvation. But therein lies the reason for Christianity’s uniqueness.<\/p>\n

Most religions revere Jesus as either a Prophet, Priest, or King, but Christianity sees Jesus as the True Prophet, the True High Priest, and our True King<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But most religions do not see Jesus as God Himself<\/a> (God of very God), and many do not see Jesus as God’s uniquely beloved Son<\/a> and the Second<\/a> Person<\/a> of the Trinity<\/a> and the Face of God<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Further, the God of Christianity is unique, in that, God is love<\/a>; it is because God is Triune (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) that God is love, and no other god can be<\/em> love because no other God is Triune.<\/p>\n

Other religions see god as either one person (Islam) or many gods (Hinduism), but no other religion sees God as one being (mono-theistic) yet three persons.<\/p>\n

It is this Christian God who has come to save all those who believe in Him, that is, Jesus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
