For muslims it is obvious becasue Allah and Jehovah are different. Jehovah is real. Jews believe in Jehovah, but reject His Son. Read II John Many but not all!
All men must come to the Father through Christ. There is no other way. John 14:6 Look at all other religions and Christianity. Only one believes in a bodily resurrected Savior I Corinthians 15, who gave the Ultimate sacrifice for others Four Gospels and Romans 5, who proved His identity( John 2, the resurrection itself), promises to return (Acts 1), establish His kingdom (Gospels, Revelation), etc.
Now what other religion makes such claims? NONE!!! Because they cannot. And let me say that anyone who wants to or even dares to deny the Historical Reliability of these statements will search their whole lives seeing that Jesus was just as real as any other person in history.

In all seriousness, this right here pretty much answers ALL questions regarding why us "mad christians" believe as we believe, why Christianity is not inclusive, why XYZ is not the same was Christianity or whatever.
The reason (and scripture although now according to the rules of the thread, its unacceptable) is out there, so what you do with it is up to you. Worldly ideas and theories can not be used to justify The Word. That's like trying to join ABC fraternity using DEF's ritual and manual.
I have to agree with Love_Spell, that as this thread has progressed and scripture is given, all of a sudden new limitations are then added on when you don't get the answer you expect or to your liking.
So in short, if not wavering in your beliefs is considered "bible thumping, corner and trash can preaching" then cool - not everyone will be receptive to the Word. You may not like Bro. Fred's approach, but that does not nulify the truth, as neither does cheap shots and personal attacks.
I will be more than happy to chat (or talk) with anyone who wants more info., but I will not go into it on this threas further because (a) it ain't on topic and (b) I feel like this thread has turned into a tit-for-tat pissing contest of which I will not participate in.
