based on Colin Chapman 's book ' Christianity on Trial '
My answer.
I can only note my own thoughts. Christ showed us one thing. That this life and our supposed death are not real. Or not as real as God's reality at least.
Other faiths...I don't know. Near as I can tell, they all hold the same truths in basis. Love, faith, hope, forgiveness. If we truly follow these do we need assign them to a particular Religion? It seems not to me.
I follow the Christian faith as it's what I know best. But I surely could not say another was incorrect in following any of the other faiths of the world.
And if in following their own faith they come to the belief in another they do not choose to call Christ. Does the name matter? Yehway is not a stranger to The Father..or The Mother for that matter any more than Christ is. Neither I'd think is Mohamed.
We are called the children of God for a reason and it does give out names for them.
Anyone can be the older bother/sister at anytime. I've learned a great deal from folks of other faiths. All of which I feel to be truths.
Just my thoughts.
John.

Gee and I thought I was the only one to think this way!
ReplyDeleteFunny, I can sure see that the same believe system tends to run in the family! But I also believe that the bible specifically says we have to believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior to get to heaven. That is why missionaries of all types go out to teach the good news. Hmmm.. so if you believe in Jesus and we are saved by His blood and grace only..then His name does matter.
Just a little more thought to chew on!
Hugs! I love you! I hope you have a good day. Stay warm!!
