A young woman in her mid-20s came into the church one Sunday for the first time. After the service I spoke to her and discovered she was a devout Roman Catholic. 'If you are a Roman Catholic,' I said, 'why have you come here?'
She answered: 'I know God but I know nothing about Jesus. I want to learn about Jesus.' I replied: 'You cannot know God without Jesus.' She was amazed at the answer, as many religious people would be, but the Bible is very clear that Jesus is the only way to God.
Given the religious thought of today this truth is unacceptable to many. They regard it as bigoted and a failure to recognise the worth of religions other than Christianity. The prevailing thought is that everyone is entitled to his opinion and that one religious opinion is as good as the next. A more unreasonable and absurd attitude it would be difficult to find. How can several diametrically-opposed teachings on the way to God all be right?
