Like other religions, Christianity is expected to be similar to
them in so many ways which happens not to be the case,
however, it does have some similarities with Judaism and Islam
which does not rule out its unique nature. In Christianity,
people are taught that God comes to his people which differs
with other religions in that they teach that people have to earn
their way to God. Christianity is monotheistic like some other
few religions but the uniqueness comes in where its monotheism
is attributed by Trinitarian doctrine where Christians believe
that God is in three beings, the God himself, the son Jesus and
the Holy spirit (Sorenson, 2018). Other religions are governed
by a system of rules to appease their gods while in Christianity
it is believed that one must form a relationship with God
through which one can directly communicate with Him.
Christians believe that they are saved through God’s grace
which was and is received by faith in Christ’s resurrection and
his finished work here on earth during his stay here.
Christianity is the only religion that has an empty tomb because
Jesus came, stayed here on earth, saved his people, died on the
cross for them and resurrected and ascended into heaven,
therefore, it is the only religion that follow a leader who died
and came back to life. Christians also believe and view the
Bible as the only source of truth and also no other religion
believes in one God who is also three persons (Wilhite, 2017).
Christianity is based on the resurrection event in all human
history and Christians' love in an action and attitude of good
will which should be directed to everyone especially those in
need and near to us as illustrated in the parable of the ‘Good
Samaritan’.

Describe primary doctrines or key beliefs about Jesus. How
does this make Christianity unique among the world religions?
Indeed, as its name states, Christianity is centered in Christ
itself. The Christian faith centers on beliefs regarding the birth,
life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Everything starts
with his own birth. Christians believe that Jesus was God
incarnated. The incarnation means God took a human form.
Jesus was not conceived in the same way as other humans,
through sexual intercourse between a man and a woman. Mary,
Jesus' mother, was told by an angel that she would give birth to
a child named Jesus. She was a virgin when she gave birth to
Jesus.
Moving forward, alongside the death of Jesus, belief in his
resurrection was the crucial thing for Christianity's
development. Christians saw it as God's explanation of Jesus
after being rejected by the Jewish leaders and put to death. It
was the confirmation of his claims to be God's agent, and above
all, it demonstrated that he was triumphant over the power of
sin and death (Partridge, 2018). The resurrection was seen as
the decisive stage in the ascent of Jesus to share God's throne in
heaven.
Unique among all religions, Christianity makes several claims
that others do not. First, all other religions exhort man to reach
up to God and grasp hold of Him through their own efforts.
Christianity is the only religion where God reaches down to man
(Ratzinger, 2016). Second, other religions are systems of do's
and don'ts to appease God, whereas Christianity is a
relationship with God. Third, Christianity looks to the Bible as
the singular source of Truth. Lastly, Christianity is based upon
the most fantastic event in all human history: the resurrection.
These dogmas or beliefs make Christianity a unique and
incredible religion full of intense demonstrations of God's
miracles and power.
Finally, as requested, I will be visiting a sacred site or personal
temple experience for my final project.
