“Why are
you Christians so arrogant, that you think you’re the only ones
going to heaven and that we’re
all going to hell?”
ANSWER:
We live in
a world that now values the tolerance of all things above
God’s truth – where ALL opinions are considered valid and where there
is no
absolute truth anymore. We have to tolerate everybody’s ideas about
religion.
Now,
in response to his desert temptations, Jesus chose to quote
the scriptures, thereby magnifying God’s truth above his own name and
opinions
(Psalm 138:2). We shall do likewise.
If
you agree that Jesus was a good man (at the very least), and
good men never lie, he therefore must have been telling the truth when
he said “…
I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man
cometh unto
the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6).
But
you do see, that with this one statement, Jesus showed an
absolute intolerance, and so called arrogance, of all other faiths,
religions
and beliefs. If Jesus were to walk on the earth today, he would
definitely be
called intolerant and arrogant.
Now,
it is understandable that non-Christians may misinterpret the
Christians’ exclusive and sure belief of a home in heaven, as
arrogance,
however as we would therefore urge the unsaved reader to “…
Believe on
the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved …” (Acts 16:31),
that you
too, may also have the same assurance of your home in heaven.
For as the scriptures say “Neither is there salvation in any other (Jesus): for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)
