YAHWEH - CREATOR AND SAVIOR OF BELIEVERS

Revelation is crucial

You have God but others do not
You know God and the Truth but others do not
You are saved but others are not
You are reconciled and submitted to God but others are not
You are established in justice but others are not
You have an heavenly identity but others do not
You are able to love because you are reconciled to God but others are not
You are peace-maker but others are not

ALLAH IS UNREVEALING

Allah Is Unrevealing
Bukhari :: Volume 6 :: Book 60 :: Hadith 378
Narrated Masruq: I said to 'Aisha, "O Mother! Did Prophet Muhammad see his Lord?" Aisha said, "What you have said makes my hair stand on end ! Know that if somebody tells you one of the following three things, he is a liar: 

Whoever tells you that Muhammad saw his Lord, is a liar." Then Aisha recited the Verse: 'No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision. He is the Most Courteous Well-Acquainted with all things.' (6.103) 'It is not fitting for a human being that Allah should speak to him except by inspiration or from behind a veil.' 

(42.51) 'Aisha further said, "And whoever tells you that the Prophet knows what is going to happen tomorrow, is a liar." She then recited: 'No soul can know what it will earn tomorrow.' 

(31.34) She added: "And whoever tell you that he concealed (some of Allah's orders), is a liar." Then she recited: 'O Apostle! Proclaim (the Message) which has been sent down to you from your Lord..' (5.67) 'Aisha added. "But the Prophet saw Gabriel in his true form twice."

YAHWEH REVEALS HIMSELF

Yahweh reveals Himself, because He is personal, but all other gods are impersonal.


However, an impersonal god cannot create, save, be heard, and accordingly cannot have any messenger or scripture. 


In reality an impersonal god does not exist.


Yahweh is known and knowable, but all other gods are unknowable.


Yahweh is love, just and holy, and away from sin. 


But all other gods are the creators of sin and have partnership with sin.


Yahweh saves in this world, but all other gods do not reveal and therefore are not available to save.

REVELATION 14:6

No Other Nations Have the Witness Christians Have. That’s Why the Gospel Must Be Preached to Every Nation, Tribe, Language and People (Rev.14:6)


TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE 7

Reason for hope in Christ

Christianity can answer questions of life more completely than other beliefs: it offers certainty to people’s hearts.
The Christian worldview accounts much better for human experience than any other religious world views.
A Christian can show his or her beliefs are true, reasonable, rational, and worth of living and dying for.

TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE 6

Reason for hope in Christ

Christians are given fullness in Christ (Col.2:10); out of this fullness Christians can find answers to the questions of life for themselves and for others (1Pet.3:15).
All other beliefs and philosophies rely on relativistic thinking, or they depend upon claims which cannot be rationally demonstrated to be true.
The Bible is the words of a reasonable God (Isa.1:18), and its messages can be tested and proved true (1Tes.5:21).

TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE 5

A sure and certain hope

Faith in Christ is reasonable and the Christian faith is defensible:
Yes, it is possible to be a follower of Christ and a rational, clear thinker,
Intellectual integrity and faith in Christ go very well together,
As well as spiritual experiences, Christians also have a rational basis for trust in revelation, and in the death and resurrection of Christ.
