Discernment Day Nine

Although this may be a nice sentiment, especially in our tolerant world (cf. earlier discernment on tolerance, and why can’t we all just get along), the problem is many fold. The following are just some answers.

1. The Islam Religion cannot, will not, does not want to coexist with any other religion. The Koran commands that not only is Islam the one religion, but also the form of government (ladies beware).
2. Although many books and articles have been written to equate all religions suggesting that we simply call God a different name, none really reaches the point of distinguishing the one true faith from all other religions, that is that the God of Christianity, Jesus is still alive, that He died and rose.
3. The God of Christianity is a self described jealous God, demanding that we worship Him and Him alone.
4. When Israel entered the promised land God told them to wipe out the people, because He knew that the would influence them and take them away from worshiping Him alone, which they did.
5. If there were may ways to some eternal existence then Jesus is a lunatic, after all, why would He suffer and die from the most cruel punishment of a cross if He could have simply told us to follow something or someone else?
6. If we could coexist, then all religions would be fake.
7. Christianity is different from all other religions, and Lutheranism is even more specific, in that we are saved, not by looking into ourselves, not by our character or good works, but by looking outside ourselves, by looking to Jesus and Jesus alone who freely gives Himself, faith, forgiveness, life, salvation and eternal life.
