What do you believe?
Exclusivity

I am becoming increasingly weary. Any Christian who speaks out against Islam is labeled as intolerant. Of course they are intolerant! Christianity believes in the exclusivity of truth. Why is anyone surprised that Christians speak out against Islam?
Therefore, why is it not fair game to condemn the Islam that sponsored the unprovoked attacks on Sept. 11, 2001? George Bush may have to say Islam is a peaceful religion. He is the head of the political state. The USA as a multicultural 21st century nation that separates church from state must tolerate all religions. But, one religion need not tolerate beliefs that conflict with their beliefs.
This is one of the outfalls of the ridiculous notion of religious pluralism. The only folks who believe all religions are the same are the ones who don’t believe in anything. A person who is serious about his beliefs should call what conflicts with them error. If he doesn’t, he is himself a pluralist.
That some Christians speak out is not a mystery. The mystery is why all who call themselves followers of Christ do not speak out! The claims of Christ (John 14:6) make it clear that He and Islam cannot both be true.
The really amusing thing about all this is that the pluralists are really the intolerant ones. They think they are right. And, that is a truth claim. No one who holds to a specific faith can be right; they are all subject to the correctness of pluralism that claims it is the absolute truth. Is not that the very thing of which the pluralists complain?

Everyone claims to know the truth. Some just try to disguise and wrap their views in culturally acceptable ideas—like pluralism. Instead of having their ideas exposed for their shortcomings, some would rather silence opposing views as patently unacceptable. Truth always requires negation, and without negation there is no truth.

So, keep your ears open and your mind sharp. When you hear, “God speaks Arabic on Friday, Hebrew on Saturday and Latin on Sunday.” Or, “God welcomes different human beings approaching Him through their own history and out of their own cultural heritage.” Or, “God is not exhausted by just one religious faith.” Remember, this leaves no room for faith in the Biblical God of John 14:6.

And, with regard to the exclusivity of Christ, C.S. Lewis put it best when he wrote Jesus is either a 1) a lunatic; 2) the Devil of hell; or 3) God Himself. He is not a Buddha, Mohammed or Joseph Smith. His claim to be God is either true or not. Indeed you must make a choice—Jesus is God or not God. No other options are available
