My apologies, Sir for taking so long to post the resource that you have quoted. Busy as a bee.
Going back to the Original Topic:
Why the Christian Faith?
Here is a transcript of the discourse between Ravi Zacharias and Lee Strobel, written in the latter's book "The Case For Faith". No attempt to put down any religion or whatsoever but solely for the purpose of discussion.
Four Fundamental Questions That Every Religion Seeks to Answer
Ravi Zacharias
Origin, Meaning, Morality, and Destiny
Origin. The Bible says we are not identical with God—contrary to the Hindu claim—but we are distinct from him. In other words, we didn’t bring ourselves into being, but we are a creation of God. Since we were created in his image, this accounts for human beings having a moral point of reference. No system is able to explain this except the monotheistic ones. Even naturalists have no explanation for humanity’s moral framework. However, this moral framework corresponds to the reality of human experience.
Also, Christianity says we rejected the divine will. The tempter in the garden said if you eat this fruit, you will become as gods, knowing good and evil. The implication is that you become the definer of good and evil. Humanism was born right there; man became the measure of all things. This willful rebellion and rejection of God corresponds to reality. As Malcolm Muggeridge said, human depravity is at once the most empirically verifiable reality but also the most philosophically resistant.
Meaning. Here again, the Christian faith stands without parallel. The simplest way to describe it is that God does not call us to meaning by asking us to be good people. He does not call us to meaning just by telling us to love one another. It is only in the experience of worship that meaning comes to be. Only something greater than pleasure can provide meaning, and that is the perpetual novelty of God himself in worship. The Bible tells us to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, and mind, and only when we’ve done that can we begin to love our neighbors as ourselves. This also corresponds to experience.
Morality. Christianity says morality is not culturally-based, but instead it grows out of the very character of God. Otherwise, you end up with the dilemma from philosophy of old: is the moral law over and above you, or is a moral law subject to you? If it is over and above you, where do you find its root, then? The only way to explain that is to find it in an eternal, moral, omnipotent, infinite God who is inseparable from his character. Thus, Christianity explains morality in a coherent manner.
Destiny. This is based on the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the historical event that proved his divinity and that opened the door to heaven for everyone who will follow him. Where else do you have anything that comes to claiming this?
