2 Timothy 4:3-4
For 6 weeks, we've been in a series learning about and comparing the tenets of the Christian faith w/ those of other major religions/cults. My heart in this study isn't to speak condescendingly or condemn another faith, but to clarify our differences and to provide us w/ a basic understanding of the claims of each faith. Why?
For the time will come when people will not put up w/ sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 2 Timothy 4:3-4
The simple fact is everyone who's ever lived has been faced w/ a dilemma - Is there a God? And if there is - which one is right? Do all roads lead to God or is there but one way?
But the Law of Non-Contradiction - something cannot be both true and untrue at the same time in the same context, demolishes the warped idea that all roads can lead to God. In fact, what we learn from this classic law of logic is that b/c every religion/cult has so many unique/contradictory beliefs (differences) - it's not that we can co-exist but rather - while we can all be all be wrong, we cannot all be right.
Meaning - All roads do not lead to God! All religious roads can't end at the same destination. So if Mormonism is the way to God, then Charles Taze Russell, and every other way, is wrong? If Mary Baker Eddy was God's messenger, then Gandhi missed the mark? But if Jesus truly is the only way, truth, and life, then there are no other avenues to God.
Either all are counterfeits or all but ONE is a counterfeit.
By definition, something that's counterfeit is a fraudulent imitation of something that's real - a misleading forgery. It may look alike or promise a similar result - but it is a lie. And the best way to distinguish a forgery from the real thing is to know real thi ...
