Alright the rest?

Tze-en is swamped with work. Don't think she'll have much time to do any research. I'll do Hinduism.

Thanks.

[lisian ng]

aiya che , i just realized we were emailing each other only earlier ..
anyways i think we do the main 3 others , buddhism, hinduism and islam
with christianity . i'll read up abit on all.

main pointers are:

1) What do we know about other religion?
2) compare them to christianity : basic ideology, way of worship, and
purpose/goal
3) Are they considered religion or merely philosophy of life??
4) What about the idea of " all religions are acceptable or can be
assumed true as they all lead to being what they call a better person
or have the same goal" ?
5) The challenge: How do we as christians approach this knowing what
we know is the truth when others don't have the privilege to know
Christ?
6) Why is christianity the true religion?
-birth of Jesus confirms message of prophets, Mary's conception
was of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 1:21)
- His death and resurrection (Mark 15 & 16, Luke 23, Matthew 15 & 16)
- His appearance after resurrection to His appostles (Acts 1: 1-5)
and ascended into heaven. (Acts 1:9)

BIG DIFFERENCE : Confucius, Buddha, Muhammad all went to their graves
and remain there. Only in Christianity, we have One who is sent by
God as men's deliverer and saviour, died and ressurected.

7) Why choose christianity? personal experiences/ testimonies.

Feel free to add to this pleeease . tankiu!
