IJTOWTG 1: Religious Pluralism

What are the five major world religions?



What is religious pluralism?

  • The popular definition is the view that there are many ways to God.

Why is it popular?

  • It is seemingly humble and smart view. However, it breaks down when you see it as a faith in itself. 

What does the Bible say (John 14:6)

1. Jesus is the way.

He is our only path to God in general and salvation in particular (Acts 4:12).

2. Jesus is the truth

He is the source of abundant and eternal life (John 10:10, 11:25).

3. Jesus is the life

He is the embodiment of the word of God which is epitome of truth (John 1:14).
