PC or Not PC
Jesus is not Politically Correct (PC). He said that there was only one way to God and that was through Him! In our present PC world, where we should, apparently, accept any person’s views as equally valid as our own, such statements are shocking. How could anyone claim that there was only one way? Of course the Buddhists have as much right to believe what they believe as the Janes, or the followers of Mohammed or any other religion or denomination. But what if there really is only one way to God? What if all religions are not the same, that one is right and the others wrong? What if, just like in mathematics, there is only one correct answer? If there really is only one way to God then it is up to us to find out which religion is true. And that doesn’t mean true in the sense of being true for each individual. If it did then that would make truth dependant on the individual. Truth is truth wether we believe it or not. Truth has nothing to do with us. It exists even if we don’t. And that is the point about Christianity. Most religions have man reaching to God. Christianity has God reaching g down to us. Jesus was far more than just human. He was God in human form. He knew what He was talking when He said that there was only one way to God, because He was God. The proof? The grave of Mohammed is guarded awaiting his return, the last Buddha’s grave is marked, as is Confucius and all the other so called religious leaders. But the grave of Jesus Christ is empty. He said kill me and I will rise again. Only a madman or God would offer such a proof. And He did rise from the dead. No madman could do that. He is God. And if God Himself says that there is only one way to Him then there is only one way! Even if it isn’t PC.
