A Biblical Worldview

Re Susan Macrae's letter, July/August
She writes that she understands with diminishing hope that, as Calvin Brown states, "the Muslim faith is not on par with Christianity in its saving capacity."
This is not Calvin Brown's idea, it is God's. Nowhere in the Bible does God entertain or relax His position on another religion. The Bible consistently teaches that there is one God and that His plan of salvation is through Jesus Christ alone. This is not an issue of favouritism but an issue of God's sovereignty and accepting the Bible as His inerrant and authoritative Word. The view that all religions are equal in offering salvation is a secular worldview, not a biblical worldview. Learning more about the faith and customs of other religions is a good thing. But should we not be first compelled to know the truths of our own faith? That only happens as we learn what it means to be a Christian, largely through our systematic and serious study of the handbook, to make sure the ideas we have are consistent with God's ideas. That is how we learn how to be a loving and respectful representative of God as we reach out and learn about our friends of other faiths.
We cannot pretend to represent Christianity if we don't know the truths of the Bible. I am personally thankful for Mr. Brown, for his articulate, biblical view, and his boldness and faithfulness to address the issues that are challenging Christianity today. May his tribe increase.
