“An Exclusive Christ”

Dear Sweetly Broken,
Why? Christianity forces us to choose. Many of today’s religions allow tolerance for multiple belief systems, but the Bible isn’t one of them. If we believe in the Bible and Jesus (read “Who Wrote The Bible?” for proof that the Bible is written by God), then we can’t accept other religions as well because the Bible condemns all other religions (Ex 34:14, Lk 16:13). Jesus claims to be the only way to heaven (Jhn 14:6). A common myth today is that we can believe in Jesus and also accept other religions, but Jesus strictly condemns that lifestyle. We are told that there is only one way to heaven (Eph 4:4-6). Either Jesus is the Messiah or He isn’t. There is no room for plurality in Christianity. Christ is an all-or-nothing Savior.
In short, if we accept the Bible as true, we must accept all other religions as false. If we accept other religions as true, we must accept that the Bible is false. There is no in-between. The Bible is accurate, time-tested, consistent, contains supernatural information, and holds specific and fulfilled prophecies… no other book can make those claims. The Bible stands alone – and it likes it that way.
