    “All you need do is profess Jesus, or at least be religious, and you are readily accepted in that large and diverse group. Sin is tolerated, truth is moderated, and humility is ignored.

    The Christian believer has to say – even in our multi-faith environment - that no other so-called Saviour will do! We need a sin-bearer.
