What Makes Christianity Different from All Other Religions?

What makes Christianity unique is not a doctrine, a place of worship, or even a moral code. It is a person—Jesus Christ. That is the defining difference. No other religion in the world has a founder who claimed to be God, lived a sinless life, died for the sins of the world, and rose again, conquering death forever. Jesus did not just teach love. He demonstrated the greatest love humanity has ever known by willingly dying on the cross for our sins (John 15:13). And He did not remain in the grave. His resurrection is the ultimate proof of His divine nature and the foundation of the Christian faith (1 Corinthians 15:17). Christianity is also unique because it is the only faith where God reaches down to humanity, rather than asking humanity to climb up to Him. In Jesus, God became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14). He is not distant or abstract—He desires a personal relationship with each of us. Christianity teaches that God is not just a creator or judge, but also a loving Father who ...

Is Christianity Anti-Science?

I am a scientist by profession, so I feel qualified to answer this clearly: Christianity is not anti-science. Let me begin with what the Bible says—long before telescopes or biology labs. It describes the earth as hanging in space (Job 26:7). Thousands of years later, science confirmed that planets are suspended in orbit. Genesis describes fish appearing first, then birds, and finally humans—exactly the order science now agrees with. No species came after humans. When Darwin proposed evolution, science merely echoed what was already written. The difference? Modern science wanted the same outcome without the “G” word. Remove God, and suddenly, it is accepted. Sad, is it not? Now, what is science? It is a method—a systematic pursuit of knowledge through observation, reasoning, and testing. Being anti-science means rejecting that method. Christianity does not. In fact, it encouraged it. Some of the world’s greatest scientists were Christians. Sir Isaac Newton, widely regarded as the great...

Can Good People Go to Heaven Without Jesus?

This is one of the most frequently asked questions. But to answer it meaningfully, we need to examine the question itself—especially what we mean by “good” and “heaven.” Outside the Bible, the idea of being “good” is relative. One person may call someone good because they are generous, kind, or helpful. But the same person could be dishonest in business or unfaithful in marriage. Is that still “good”? Your boss might be good to you but ruthless to others. Someone might be polite in public but abusive in private. Goodness, in this context, is subjective—it depends on who you ask and how you feel. In contrast, the Bible gives us an absolute standard for goodness: God’s Word. It says, “Be holy, because I am holy” (1 Peter 1:16). Biblical goodness is not measured by comparison to others. It is measured against the character and commandments of God. No one can reach that standard perfectly, which is why we all need grace. Now let us talk about heaven. Heaven, as defined by Christianity, is ...

How Can a Loving God Send People to Hell?

This is one of the most misunderstood and emotionally loaded questions about Christianity. The question assumes that if God is loving, then He must accept everyone, regardless of what they have done. But that version of love ignores another essential part of God’s nature—His justice. Yes, God is love (1 John 4:8), and Jesus demonstrated the greatest act of love in history by offering Himself for humanity (John 15:13). But the same Bible also makes it clear that God is holy and just (Psalm 89:14). Imagine a human judge who releases a murderer or rapist simply because he is “loving.” That would not be justice—it would be moral chaos. Now, consider this: Should someone who tries to live according to God’s commandments be treated the same as someone who willingly rejects them and causes harm to others? If God simply waved away all wrongdoing in the name of love, then He would not be just, and His love would be meaningless. But God does not arbitrarily send people to hell. He has clearly la...

Why Did Jesus Speak in Parables?

There are many spiritual explanations online about why Jesus spoke in parables, but I would like to offer a more grounded and practical view—one that still aligns with biblical truth but makes sense in everyday language. First, what is a parable? It is a simple story used to convey a profound truth. Jesus was not only the Son of God; He was also the greatest communicator who ever lived. Think about it—His teachings, spoken over just three short years more than 2,000 years ago, still form the moral foundation for much of the world. No promotions, no campaigns—just powerful words that continue to echo through time. Jesus understood His audience. They were mostly farmers, fishermen, traders, and people from a wide range of economic and social backgrounds. So what did He do? He met them where they were. He spoke in stories about seeds, fishing nets, vineyards, and lost coins. These everyday examples helped people understand what the Kingdom of God is like, what God’s character is, and what...
