Frequently Asked Questions

You say that the martyrdom of many of Jesus' early followers is evidence that Christianity is true. But other faiths (Muslims, Buddhists, Branch Davidians, etc.) also have martyrs. So doesn't this imply that other faiths are also true?
No. Someone willingly dying for his beliefs does not automatically imply that his beliefs are valid. They only imply that this person honestly believes that they are valid. For example, we frequently see followers of Mohommad dying for their beliefs. Yet no followers of Mohommad ever claimed to have seen him doing anything which could not be explained by natural means. Mohommad may have had a supernatural experience, but he was alone in a cave when he had it. The same goes for followers of Buddha, David Koresh, etc. Only Jesus had followers who claimed to have seen Him do things which cannot be explained by natural means and then willingly died to spread the word of Jesus' feats.
