5. Christianity Is Superior To All Other Worldviews
If you don’t believe this, you don’t truly understand Christianity or you don’t understand atheism and the other religions. Christianity is the closest thing to good in our world, and everything else is evil by comparison. There are not multiple belief systems that are equal to Christianity. Period.
Furthermore, following Christianity makes you a higher-quality person than your neighbors—at least in regards to how you treat other people. Ask yourself who you would rather live beside: an atheist who thinks it’s OK to steal, kill, lie, slander, commit adultery, and sell your kids fentanyl? Or a Christian who believes in loving his neighbor as himself? That choice is pretty easy for me.
I am not promoting a prideful attitude at all; Christians are called to be truly humble, and being aware of our own faults should inspire humility in all of us. Too many Catholics, however, have lost track of Christianity’s true worth and walk around with an apologetic attitude toward their beliefs. That is shameful and inappropriate.
Isn’t it wrong to say Christianity is the only way to be good and kind my neighbours are lovely people they are Muslims and Hindus Buddhists I’m a Catholic we get along fine they are kind do charity work help the poor and needy so you can’t say you have to be a Catholic inorder to be a good person walking in the right path
They are lovely doesn’t mean that the ideology the believe is good or right one.
Matthew 5:46-47 New King James Version (NKJV)
For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so?
We should love one another.
But that doesn’t accept the wrong ideology.
What does Quaran says leave the hate speech on Christian’s and Jews in it, it promises just worldly pleasure at heaven, like 72 virgins, alcohol, young boys, diamonds at heaven do you really believe a good god will ever give such a facility.
When it comes to Hinduism it’s just an extent pagan stuff nothing that makes sense. The Hindu practices like Sati,the tradition of child wife being pushed into the burning corpse of husband was prohibited by the Western men and so do child marriages. The still practicing caste system which is worse than the slave system atleast in slavery in America the slave women weren’t atleast used sexually by masters, these all practices were backed by Hinduism
Can anyone say these two practices as right path or superior to Christianity.
It’s wrong even to compare these with Christian’s.
True, No one better than Christianity
How have you decided that being an Atheist means a person who kills, steals, lies etc. ? You are definitely not being truthful OR you just don’t know what you are saying.
Thank you for your comment. When you are an atheist, you don’t believe in God and especially God’s morality. That has profound implications, because if nothing is immoral to you then you feel that you are basically free to do whatever you want (including killing people, etc.) regardless of whether it offends God or hurts your neighbor. Personally, the atheists I have known ALWAYS ended up believing in hedonism, which means, “If it feels good, do it.” That meant cheating on their wife, lying, stealing, etc. Although not every atheist I know kills people, they are really not opposed to anything that helps them get their way. Motivation is one of the key determiners of human behavior: A Christian who believes he will go to Hell is far more motivated to “love his neighbor as himself” than somebody who believes he can do anything he wants and there will be no consequences (like Hell or the loss of Heaven) if he is caught. The prison population bears this out; just look at the statistics.
All people are equal regardless of race, gender, nationality and faith. No one is superior to another, we have been created equal. A Christian is not superior to a pagan from an uncontacted tribe whom has never been exposed to Judeo-Christian ideology. Being Christian doesn’t guarantee more love and kindness in your heart than anyone from any other religion, even atheists.
As a Muslim reading this, it seems to me that the ultimate values you hold are love and kindness themselves, rather than worship of the one and only God.
In Islam, we are taught by the guidance that Almighty Allah sent through His last and final messenger and His word The Quran, that the reason for our existence is solely to worship Him. Under this purpose comes many different forms of righteousness, including being kind and loving to our parents, kin, and others. The ultimate value we hold therefore is truely abiding to God’s commandments and way of life that he wants of us. This is true worship; submitting one’s will truly and wholly to their true Creator.
Calling onto other humans, such as Mary and Jesus (peace be upon them), and asking them for support in the way we ask of God is not the right way. Mary and Jesus, while great in honor, are fellow servants of God, fellow creations of God, and are not divine. How shall we ask of them to guide us in adversity and basically worship them as we worship God? Is this true monotheism?
Monotheism is the only way of worship that is in-line with our predisposition, our instinct, and our logic; tools that God gave us as compasses that help us see the truth. All messengers of God, including Jesus -peace be upon him- called for the same message sent to humanity: There is only one God, worship only him.
Today’s Bible speaks to the importance of monotheism and insists on devotion to The One true Creator of the heavens and and the earths. How is this consistent with asking Jesus and Mary and saints to help you in adversity, to heal and guide, and to give prosperity? They do not own the heavens and the earths and have no control over them. Only the one true Lord and Creator owns and controls as he is the Most Superior and the Most Powerful. There is no power except by him. Worship should only be directed to Him and Him alone. Exalted is He over being worshipped with others. Only He deserves our worship.
Deuteronomy 6:4
“Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is one!
Deuteronomy 4:35
To you it was shown that you might know that the Lord, He is God; there is no other besides Him.
Deuteronomy 32:39
‘See now that I, I am He,
And there is no god besides Me;
It is I who put to death and give life.
I have wounded and it is I who heal,
And there is no one who can deliver from My hand.
Nehemiah 9:6
“You alone are the Lord.
You have made the heavens,
The heaven of heavens with all their host,
The earth and all that is on it,
The seas and all that is in them.
You give life to all of them
And the heavenly host bows down before You.
Psalm 83:18
That they may know that You alone, whose name is the Lord,
Are the Most High over all the earth.
Psalm 86:10
For You are great and do wondrous deeds;
You alone are God.
Isaiah 43:10
“You are My witnesses,” declares the Lord,
“And My servant whom I have chosen,
So that you may know and believe Me
And understand that I am He.
Before Me there was no God formed,
And there will be none after Me.
Isaiah 44:6
“Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts:
‘I am the first and I am the last,
And there is no God besides Me.
Isaiah 45:18
For thus says the Lord, who created the heavens (He is the God who formed the earth and made it, He established it and did not create it a waste place, but formed it to be inhabited),
“I am the Lord, and there is none else.
1 Kings 8:23
He said, “O Lord, the God of Israel, there is no God like You in heaven above or on earth beneath, keeping covenant and showing lovingkindness to Your servants who walk before You with all their heart,
Isaiah 40:18
To whom then will you liken God?
Or what likeness will you compare with Him?
Exodus 20:3-5
“You shall have no other gods before Me. “You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me,
Matthew 24:36 (KJ21)
But of that day and hour, knoweth no man, no, not the angels of Heaven, but My Father only.
Quran 5:116-117 (Translation by Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran)
And ˹on Judgment Day˺ Allah will say, “O Jesus, son of Mary! Did you ever ask the people to worship you and your mother as gods besides Allah?” He will answer, “Glory be to You! How could I ever say what I had no right to say? If I had said such a thing, you would have certainly known it. You know what is ˹hidden˺ within me, but I do not know what is within You. Indeed, You ˹alone˺ are the Knower of all unseen.
I never told them anything except what You ordered me to say: “Worship Allah—my Lord and your Lord!” And I was witness over them as long as I remained among them. But when You took me,1 You were the Witness over them—and You are a Witness over all things.
I appreciate your detailed explanation of Islam. That being said, Christians believe the one, true God exists in three persons: Father, Son(Jesus), and Holy Spirit – something that is called the “Trinity.” So, we don’t believe that Jesus is just human, but God, too, and worthy of worhsip. This is sort of a mystery and tough to explain, so I will not elaborate further. Catholics do not worship Mary, and anyone who does needs to stop. We do not believe that asking somebody (even somebody we believe to be in Heaven) is worshipping them.
? Your Quran are separated from Arab polytheism
Wake Up and Check on Wikipedia “who is islam”
All people are equal in importance to God, but that is about as far as it goes. People are different, period, and no amount of political-correctness changes that. And, make no mistake, it’s your beliefs which drive your actions. For example, a person who has been taught to hate Jews and Christians is far more likely to kill hundreds of Jews at a music festival (or fly a plane into a building where thousands of Americans die afterward) than somebody who has been taught “thou shalt not kill” from childhood. It’s not devout Catholics (or Prots for that matter) running around shooting up their school, raping, stealing, etc. I’d say that makes them better.
Nope, All people are not equal, Atheist was doing that
Christianity is Superior because teaching and humbe christians there
Your comment it not have Evidence
I do not trust your Slogans
People are equal in value. People are unequal in many other areas, such as knowledge, strengths, size, and capacity (to name a few). Some people may indeed show greater love even though they are in other religions. But remember how you will regard their love performance, and with which moral standard? As a Christian, you will use your Christian lens to judge. For me, there is no doubt that Catholicism is superior, since Jesus (God) created it. There is no need to look somewhere else for guidance.
The article said “CHRISTIANITY is the superior worldview”, not that Christians are superior. There are good Christians & there are bad ones. The ideology is not the person.
A belief that says “don’t kill” is superior to one that says the opposite, despite the fact that the humans who believe in either ideology are created equal to their corresponding ideological opponent.
NO! Orthodox Judaism is the only truly divinely revealed religion. Christianity is a completely corrupted doctrine. Wake up people!!! Time to look at all those lies you absorbed from your scriptures about Pharisees, who were truly the holiest of humans. Reject the god-man fabricated by non-Jews. Flee the real Satan!
