The Exclusivity Of The Christian Faith Is Not A ...
Contributed by Scott Weber on Dec 21, 2005 (message contributor)
The exclusivity of the Christian faith is not a popular claim in our culture. We are told we should consider all religions equally valid. Barbara Walters had a special on television this past Tuesday about heaven. In it she interviewed several “religious experts.” But the ones she is drawn to are those who say that people from all faiths are going to heaven.
But the question should not be whether Jesus’ claims are tolerant or exclusive, but if they are true. If Jesus’ claims are true, then they are the most hopeful words ever spoken and the most inclusive. They provide us an opportunity to be saved and they are for everyone.
C.S. Lewis – "Christianity is a statement, which, if false is on no importance, and if true is of infinite importance. The one thing it cannot be is just moderately important."
