What is A Christian? Part 2. (a 6 part series)

Are all religions the same? I keep hearing about “equality of religion” or “all religions are the same, they are all equal with each other.” People are always telling us they are the same because; “They all teach a moral value,” “they all follow a deity (ies) or god(s)”, “they all claim to have the answer”, “they all tell us what happens after we die”… I say those people are wrong. Why? Simple. Those people are the P.C. crowd who want to be able to live their lives as they see fit. They want to claim that what is true for one person is NOT trued for others. In Short, They do not believe in absolute truth. Religion deals in absolutes and Christianity is a strong example. “I am the way the truth and the life no one comes to the father but by me."(John 14: 11*) “Behold I stand at the door and Knock” (revelation 3:20) "I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved." (John 10:9) And so on. Here is the thing Judeo-Christian beliefs are actually unique. All the other religions you have to do some kind of work to get into heaven. You get in there BY YOUR OWN POWER. And if you cannot get there, you are totally screwed. Christianity though says the only thing you can do is let go. Let Jesus handle the whole thing and accept what he has already done for your sin. And Bingo you are in. There is nothing we can do to add to or take away from the work already done by Christ. So there you go. Not all religions are the same. But this leads to the next question, Who are you going to follow? Joshua asked that same question of the Israelites as they left the desert for their new home. (Joshua 24:14-15) Who will you follow?
