I am amazed at how we have turned our lives over to technology. Under the guise of science or pseudo-logic, we have, in many cases, given up our decision-making process to pure data. This approach is fine as far as it goes, but it will fall short on the issues where there is no computable conclusion. For example: many are fine with thinking that because there is one God all religions must be acceptable because we cannot possibly figure out which one is the right one. Going on, they conclude that we are all going to serve Him and why worry about our differences as long as we accept one another in peace, love, acceptance, fuzzy warm blankets, teddy bears, hot chocolate, and all the rest.
We want all the answers to everything before we take a stand because we might be wrong. So, we give in to the idea that there is no objective reality. Whatever happened to coherent thinking? The mind of man designed all technology and, now, his pursuit seems to have dropped logic unless it is mathematical. How can you claim to be a Christian and not follow Christ? For crying out loud, you cannot spell the word without using His name!
I have nothing against living in peace with all religions, but I will never lose sight that my efforts must be in changing the hearts and minds of the non-believer the same way Christ did. It will always be that Muslims and Christians are in competition and not complementary to each other. Their belief systems cannot co-exist because they make opposing claims. It is incoherent to believe that both are right. It’s dumb and stupid! This line of thinking is just as cockeyed as allowing a child to drink drain cleaner instead of milk because they both come in a bottle. It isn’t the same things about our belief systems that are critical, it’s the differences.
“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.’ ” John 14:6
This verse does not end with “and all the other ways listed in appendix A”.
