There is enough difference between Catholics and Protestants that they still kill each other over it. But yeah, they both fall under Christian just like Sunni and Shiite fall under Islam.

That was my mistake, bringing up Catholics. I believe they’re a form Christianity just different ideas, rules or whatever
Christians, including Catholics, are distinct from the others you mentioned, specifically through Jesus Christ. There is no way to salvation but through Christ. This Biblical absolute makes us Christians intolerant. If we were just as flexible as muslims who take slight offense to images of their god...
I believe it's images of the prophet that is the issue.
I was being purposely vague to avoid the imminent fatwa, in no rush to die.

I’m curious what makes the Christian Bible the truth compared to the others? I’m honestly curious

I'd tell you about the Mormon bible, but I haven't found the right opthamologist.

@ElephantStomp IF there's only 144,00 making it with the Jehovah's Witness group...why are they knocking on doors? You don't want a bigger pool, right?

There is so much to that number and belief that it is laughable. I mean, every sect has their stupid beliefs but that one is a major piece of their whole structure.
I have read the Book of Mormon as my dad was nominally Mormon (raised that way but not practicing) and we had it around the house along with missionaries visiting trying to get him back into the fold. Nice little piece of writing. Much like every other Holy Book it is primarily structured so one group of people can rule over the others more easily.
I don't know who put the idea in my head, but when I was a kid, I thought Jehova's Witnesses went door to door selling vacuum cleaners.

If our new vacuum doesn't remove 144000% of the sin in your carpet, you get it for free.
It contains hundreds of fulfilled prophesies. For example, Daniel 2 predicts the next 3 world empires after the Babylonian Empire up to and including the Roman Empire and their falls. Daniel was a captive of the Babylonians and God revealed to him the dream Nebuchadnezzar had of the future World Empires, Medo-Persia, Greek, and Roman. Eleven prophesies (enter Jerusalem on a colt, be sold for 30 pieces of silver, be crucified with thieves, etc) concerning Christ from Micah, Isaiah, and Zechariah were assigned odds. They prophesied hundreds of years before the birth of Christ. The combined probability of the events being fulfilled by any one man's life was calculated conservatively to be 10 to the 19 power. Yet each and every one came true. Archaeological example, excavations of Jericho reveals that the walls did fall exactly as described in the book of Joshua. There are hundreds of other examples.

Not worth arguing Bible with the folks here.

Another perfect example of a subject that needs to be addressed as an individual instead of looking to a group, and their thoughts, for answers.
