“they will call on me, but I will not answer; They will
seek me diligently, but they will not find me.
Because they hated knowledge And did not choose the fear
of Yahweh, They would have none of my counsel And
despised my every rebuke. Therefore they shall eat the
fruit of their own way, And be filled to the full with
their own fancies. For the turning away of the simple
will slay them, And the complacency of fools will
destroy them; But whoever listens to me will dwell
safely, And will be secure, without fear of evil.”
Proverbs 1:24-33
Other Religions
Since most, if not all religions, contradict one another
on critical issues, it is impossible for all of them to
be right.. A look at some of the world’s major religions
Evolution
Many believe in evolution for the simple reason that
they think science has proven it to be a ‘fact’ and,
therefore, it must be accepted.
New Age
Is not new ... it is a
modern revival of ancient religious traditions, along
with a potpourri of influences: Eastern mysticism,
modern
philosophy and psychology, science and science fiction,
and the counterculture of the 50s and 60s.
Atheism
To claim you know there is no God is to claim you have
exhaustively searched every part of every universe and
dimension with an infallibly accurate method of
detecting every non-physical entity that could possibly
exist. (Several Articles)
World Views
A world view is a set of presuppositions (or
assumptions) which we hold (consciously or
subconsciously) about the basic makeup of our world.
Permissiveness, pornography, the public schools, the
breakdown of the family is only a part of the whole, a
symptom of a much larger problem. People have failed to
see that all of this has come about due to a shift in
the world view - that is, through a fundamental change
in the overall way people think and view the world and
life as a whole.

Postmodernism
has encroached on Western society/the church. It
professes "Openness" (without the restraint of reason)
and "tolerance" that rejects all moral absolutes, A
brand of thought that has dominated America’s
"politically correct" universities for over a decade..

Pluralism
Religious pluralism is the belief that every religion is
true. Each provides a genuine encounter with the
Ultimate. One may be better than the others, but all are
adequate. When examining the claims of religious
traditions we must be careful not to confuse tolerance
and truthfulness. Claiming that it is intolerant to say
that "all paths do not lead to the same destination"
misses the point. The important issue is the truth or
falsity of this assertion. (Several Articles)
Relativism
Objective relativism is the view that the beliefs
of a person or group of persons are “true” for them, but
not necessarily for others. Religious relativism
maintains that one religion can be true for one person
or culture but not for another. No religion, therefore,
is universally or exclusively true. Religious beliefs
are simply an accident of birth: Moral relativism
maintains that there are no moral absolutes, no
objective ethical right and wrong. Moral values are true
or “genuine” for some, but not for others. Cultural
relativism says that what is immoral in our culture is
not necessarily immoral in another culture. No one,
therefore, can judge another culture’s moral values. |
