Nope-the true churches had the correct Canon, just like today

Revisionism is always an option, FTD.

It is you who have to 'get real', no religion claims that their Founder is God and that He died for them and rose again

That's not what you said originally (you can check your own posts). You said that the founder is alive, not that he died and rose again. Make up your mind.

Judaism claims Abraham and Moses as their founders and Islam, Mohomad.

Nope, Judaism and islam claim their rleigionc ame from God, delivered personbally to Moses and Mohammad. Christianity is not a new religion. It is a contiunation of Judaism with God's correction.

Even the Devils believe in God and tremble, but that won't save them

That has to do with the nature of their sin and the nature of their creation.

Boy, that shows how little you know of religion

Feelings are mutual. :) God is the source of everything and all including the religion.

But as for being a Christian, I doubt you are one. You belong to a church, but that does not make you a Christian (Jn.3)

Coming from a Protestant...LOL!

Just factual history, not Orthodox myth.

And isn't He alive?

Stop blowing smoke.

No, Judaism and Islam do not claim that their Founder was God.

They believe that their founders came from God.

Both religions look to men as their Founders, Abraham, Moses and Mohomad.

Christianity is not a continuation of Judaism, it is a new faith, as it was revealed to Paul (Eph.3).

Even the Devils believe in God and tremble, but that won't save them

That has to do with the nature of their sin and the nature of their creation.

That has to do with the fact that the believe in God is not enough to save anyone.

Today, one must believe in Christ to be saved (Jn.14:6)

No, God is not the source of religion, Satan is.

God is only the source of pure religion (James 3)

Yes, coming from someone who was 'born again' as is the requirement stated by Christ in Jn.3. to a religious man who was spiritually dead.

One final unique aspect of Chrisitanity is the Trinity,(a Triune God) which again, is rejected by every religion.

So, if one does not accept the fact that Jesus Christ is God and part of that Trinity, he is lost.

Christianity is in fact, very unique, preaching salvation by faith, not works, in a risen saviour, who is in fact, eternal God.

If a church doesn't preach all three of these truths, then it is not a true Christian church.
