There is also the 'uniqueness of Hinduism', for instance, but it doesn't add any weight to the credibility of Hinduism.
    Don’t you ever get tired of trolling?

    If you don't want non-Christians contributing to this forum's debates and discussions either dial yourself back a little and ignore them, or take it up with the web site's admin who might change the forum's raison d'etre for you.

    I understood it just fine. You presented a false hypothetical, I sought to educate you on why it was false, and you got scared and started whizzing in the pool.
    This was the sentence: " If both you and I are wrong, and it turns out that Islam - for example - is the "true" religion [and their version of the Jesus story is correct], then your liking for the Christian Christ is neither here nor there." That is simply a hypothetical. Yes, you are a Christian. We know that. But you being a Christian does not make the hypothetical "false", no matter how sincere and strident you are about your religion.

    Speaking of hypotheticals here is one for you: If both you and I are wrong and it turns out that the moon is made of cheese, what are you going to do about it?

    I never claimed my being a Christian made the hypothetical false.

    The evidence for Christ’s Resurrection makes the hypothetical false.

    You sometimes sell yourself short with the way you try to express your earnestness and certainty about your Christian faith.

    I am suggesting that your interpretations of the words spoken by Jesus grossly pervert what the His words actually mean since Christianity has the teachings of others as its foundation.

    You neither hear nor understand what He is saying.

    I was merely pointing out that your hypotheticals are useless without supporting evidence. If you have evidence to suggest that Christianity is false and that another religion is true feel free to present it.

    You seem to ignore His statements that reveal He was God in the flesh.

    Did God intend/want Jews to follow the Mosaic Law?

    It's just a hypothetical. You labelling it "false" is irrelevant to the point being made about the significance of whodey's preference and admiration for his particular god figure.

    Let me guess, you are the only one that hears and understands, and everyone else is wrong in their interpretations?

    Nope. My hypothetical makes the point it needs to make. There is no need for "supporting evidence".

    Be careful you don’t lose your balance from all that backpedaling

    Start a thread about it. There is no religion that I seek to suggest is "true", but there may be people here who want to discuss it with you.
