A Complete Misunderstanding
Creating One Family Under God
Bahai – Sikh – Hindu – Islam – Buddism - Shintoism – Christian
This is becoming more and more of the ideological thought that exists in western culture. Pluralism plagues our society and dupes them into thinking that any belief system will work by virtue of fairness. It does not matter how or what you believe as long as you do believe. Truth is left up to the believer but will never become absolute because he does not want to offend his neighbor who lives by a completely different set of truths. It’s all relative. Truth does not exist, only truths. All roads lead to heaven.
One who subscribes to such an ideology is offended by the message of Christianity as he cannot accept the fact that with Christianity, it is either/or and can never be both/and. For this person, the virtue of fairness is broken and Christianity therefore becomes foolish; foolish because it is, in one aspect, intolerable and exclusive. This man, in his wisdom, cannot accept the message of Christianity because it cannot mold into his pluralistic mentality, which has robbed him of the abilty to think resonably.
“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written:“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent” (I Cor. 1:18-19).
