Has anyone ever been to a fire or nearby disaster? People come, people go and sometimes people come back to the scene again.
When police take notes from witnesses, no two stories are identical. And yet they were all there.
Some people say religions are all the same. However, Christianity is the only faith where people can’t earn their way to heaven. It states that nothing a person does brings them any closer to that place (Ephesians 2:9). Instead the Bible states that people are saved by God’s grace through faith (reliance, trust) in Jesus. (Not just knowledge of him) According to Christianity, Jesus accomplished everything for people to get them into heaven.
No other religion has claimed that.
As for Jesus’ statement about riches and getting into heaven, he ends that comment by adding “With men this [getting into heaven] is impossible, but all things are possible with God.”
