The Best Christianity Gets Everything Right

The reason Christianity defeats every other competing explanation for realty is because at its purest (by which I mean what we’d have if it was in accordance with God’s will) Christianity gets everything right. This is the distinction between Christians, who get a lot wrong, and Christianity as God would intend as ideal, which gets everything right. It takes a lot of thinking and experience to be so assured that Christianity gets everything right, but I’m confident that it’s the right conclusion.

What Christianity has over, let’s call it non-Christianity (naturalism, other religions, or anything that departs from Christian truths), is that Christianity always has a better explanation for everything than non-Christianity -  the biggest philosophical questions, the physical world, love, goodness, morality, metaphysical qualities, the psychology of human nature, the purpose of life, overcoming suffering, what’s wrong with society, you name it. 

Any proposition that includes “Christianity is the truth” explains the true depths and complexities of the proposition all the way to the top and bottom better than any competing or alternative “non-Christianity is the truth” hypothesis. And this is similarly true in reverse – no supreme act of God’s love, goodness, grace, justice or mercy in the world is enhanced by either tying to remove “Christianity is the truth” from the argument, or by trying to add “non-Christianity is the truth” to it either. Non-Christianity gets defeated and undermined every time it comes up against “Christianity gets everything right” – and any apparent cases where that doesn’t seem to hold just means that we haven’t gone to either the very top or the very bottom (or both) of the proposition, and tapped in to both its full complexity and full extended gravitas and ultimate goodness.
