She is asking questions and I dont have the answer

christygirl23 · 02-14-2008, 10:16 AM

I'm a christian and was baptist when I was really young.Ive went to sunday school and now I go to church every sunday and sometimes I go to the youth club they have in saturday.

My problem is I have this friend in school and we were talking.I talked about and religion and we all agreed that there is a God.But then she asked what makes our God the real god ? Because her family is buddhist ,so ...she told me she believe that Buddha is the God.

Then I told her I believe in Christ because God loves us and I just believe everything the bible has taught us.I told her that we have the prophecy too.
But I just cant seem to find a point to convince her that our God is real.

I want to let her understand Christ.

Anyway,do you guys have any scientific facts ?
I once heard they found Noah's ark or something.

Tell your friend that your God is a living God and if she opens her heart she will experience the reality of His very presence indwelling here. Tell her that religions are mankind's attempts to reach God but Christianity is God's attempt to reach mankind.Share your testimony about the life changing experience that occured whne the Holy Spirit of God began to dwell in you.

You can find budah's bones, you can find mohammed's bones but you will never find Jesus's bones because He is risen.
FYI - The idols they worship were created by the Greeks.

Excellent Brother Bo!!
Indeed tell her of how Christ has worked in your life. There is no further proof than that needed. Pray for her. It sounds as though you have found a heart that needs to hear the Word of God.

Buddha by his own admission was not a God, simply an enlightened one. He said, please don't worship me when I'm gone but they didn't listen to that part of his teachings.

Indeed brother!

Well, to be honest I believe that every religion talks about the same God, only in different ways. If you compare the religions, most of them have loads of similarities.

Boanerges · 02-15-2008, 03:32 PM

Pam there is but one Jesus. He is the only way to God or He is a liar- which is it?

Pamela · 02-15-2008, 04:02 PM

You probably don't mean it like that so I won't feel offended and get defensive, but it looks a little harsh the way you put it.

I don't think Jesus is a liar, I never said that. I said I see a lot of similarities, I didn't say the religions are similar. Otherwise I'd be "christian", "muslim", "jew" etc. all at the same time.
