1 Pet 3:15 – But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.
As we interact with other people the topic of religion inevitably comes up. I try to keep the above verse in mind when discussing the beliefs of the different Christian denominations. I try to give my thoughts without giving offense and I listen to what others have to say. However, when someone says something you know to be wrong you have an obligation to stand up for God and speak the truth of God’s Word. You may never witness for Christ but there is no excuse for not rebutting a direct challenge to your faith. Here are some common fallacies:
1. Jehovah and Allah are the same God.
2. All religions lead to heaven.
3. All good people go to heaven.
4. There is no such thing as hell.
The Judeo-Christian God Jehovah is the one and only true God. Salvation unto eternal life is only possible through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God. Good works mean nothing. Without salvation the unbeliever will spend eternity in a physical hell of unending torment. We have the proofs to back up what we say in the Holy Bible and in my earlier blogs. All the fake religions and false gods in this world have no proof to back up their claims. Satan has sponsored them to lead people away from the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
John 14:6 – I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
John 3:36 – He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe in the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.
Isaiah 45:22 – Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.
Isaiah 43:11 – I, even I, am the Lord, and besides Me there is no other.
Isaiah 43:13 – From eternity to eternity I am God. No one can oppose what I do.
