I would honestly state, that since all religions are man-made, they are potentially erroneous. I have no idea whether Jesus Christ is Lord, but I doubt it. I don't know what you mean by Holy Spirit.

It is not possible to have any religious faith without one a-priori assumption. Likewise it is not possible to believe there is no God with out the converse assumption.

There IS a God vs. there is NO God.

Each is equally unprovable.

And so each must make his choice. I chose to think there IS a God and after study the only one that makes sense is the God of the Bible.

If I'm wrong about there being a God it won't matter for I'll be non existent ... on any plain. If I've chosen the wrong deity I'll still have made the proper choice because all other gods I've looked into aren't worth my worship.

If you are wrong ... you're gonna be really sorry.

all religions are man made Let us assume that your statement is true. But allow me the same courtesy to say that Man does things for a purpose. So Christ must have had a purpose in establishing his religion. Was his purpose to become King of the Jews, obviously not, he got crucified for it. Was he then the ultimate masochist, or was his love for his fellowmen truely devine? I don't beleive Christ is an ultimate masochist. Since man is fallable, and is therefore incapable of devine love, Christ must be devine. Thus Christianity is not man made.
