mars, got in late on this one, but had to jot a quick reply. Christianity is not exclusive because of Christians (yelling in a sandbox), but because of Christ. It is his great offense. It is what He himself said about himself that got him crucified. John 14:6 quotes Jesus, "I am the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father but by me." Jesus is later described in the New Testament as both the cornerstone and the stumbling stone. . . exclusivity in his day or ours does not play well anywhere. As Oxford professor C.S. Lewis has said, Jesus was either a Liar(ie. con man), a Lunatic (ie. delusional) or the Lord of all. You don't have the option to make Him out to be just a great teacher. Accept or reject him on his terms. Jesus would never have come and died if there were any other way to unite God and man. If I were doing his(Jesus) PR, I would have advised him against the statement above . . . it's so limiting. Truth that demands faith transcends our modern sensibilities. Best to all. .
