What about other religions?

Matt Slick of www.carm.org talks about the exclusive claims of Jesus regarding Christianity.
- 00:10
- There are many religions in the world. They do not all teach the same thing. In fact, many of them contradict each other.
- 00:16
- So they can't all be true, and it cannot be said that each is a different path to God. What are we to say about all these other religions compared to Christianity?
- 00:27
- To get to the point, we can just simply say, all other religions besides Christianity are false.
- 00:33
- If Jesus is who he said he was, God in flesh, then whatever he says is authoritative and true.
- 00:40
- He said that he was the way, the truth, and the life, and that nobody comes to the Father except through him.
- 00:46
- That's John 14 .6. Right there, we see that any other way, according to Jesus, is not true.
- 00:54
- Christianity bases its truth and its doctrine on the Word of God, the Bible. In the Word of God, Jesus claims to be the only way.
- 01:01
- Since he performed many miracles, he raised people from the dead, he commanded a storm to be still and it obeyed, he healed many people of their diseases, and he rose from the dead himself.
- 01:13
- Then we are forced to face the reality of his words. Is what he said true or not? Either Jesus is a liar, a lunatic, or he is
- 01:21
- Lord. No one else in history except Jesus has fulfilled detailed prophecies, performed many miracles before our witnesses, and risen from the dead.
- 01:30
- Jesus is unique. Those of us who are Christians have trusted in what
- 01:36
- Christ has said. We believe in what he said and what he did. Like it or not, Jesus is the one who said he was the only way.
- 01:46
- It is not the Christians who are being narrow -minded. It is Jesus who is being narrow -minded. Therefore, to say that other religions can be true means that Jesus is false.
- 01:56
- To say that there are other ways to God also means that Jesus is false. This is what it comes down to.
- 02:02
- Either Jesus is who he said he was, and what he said is true, or he is false.
