Rooster doo.
Do any of these boneheads wonder why Jesus had to die a horrible death on the cross if all roads lead to the same god? They are saying His sacrifce was meaningless. If you believe all religions are equal, then you really believe nothing at all. As Chesterton said, “Tolerance is the virtue of the man with no convictions.”
They are free to hold this opinion, but I wouldn’t want to be handcuffed to any of them when they die.
“Tolerance is the virtue of the man with no convictions.”
One of my favorite Chesterton quotes.
Similar to the chestnut about the open mind being an empty one.
Islam denies that Jesus died!
Muslim’s believe that is only *appeared* as if he was killed. It is commonly taught that someone (probably Judas) was killed in his place.
I certainly do not agree with their teaching but this is what they believe.
Tolerance is a fine virtue, but it is being misapplied here. To be tolerant towards other religious thinking means to allow it to exist, not to embrace it as a viable alternative to what you know to be true.
I pray that this pastor considers the consequences of his actions very carefully.
