Myth, 54

~ No Religion Should Think It’s Better Than Another ~

Introduction  ~  Some people are offended by anyone who claims one religion is superior to another.  If we think only in human terms this is understandable.  The issue really amounts to is there truly a God.  If there is a God then His statements carry much greater weight than any person you interact with.  The issue really is do you believe there is a Creator God who has something to say to you.  Simply stated, this myth is based on man’s opinion, not the reality that God has stated in His Word—The Holy Bible.  What if you’re wrong?  What if there is a Creator?  What if God is real?  Then it’s not your opinion that counts—but God’s! 

Scripture  ~  Jesus said: “I am the way and the truth and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).  He did not say one of the ways, a truth or a life, but the way, the truth and the life.  The Apostle Peter proclaimed: “It is by the name of Jesus Christ... Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:10,12).

Closing Comment  ~  If you score a touchdown you feel great.  But what if you ran the wrong way and scored for the wrong team?  Are you doing things God’s way or Satan’s way?  Are you sure?  If, when life is over, you find you were on the wrong end of the field the consequences will be enormous.  Maybe, just maybe, it is wise to listen to what your Creator says about eternal matters.
