Hope on the Street

Even a cursory examination of comparative belief charts and data* quickly reveals that different religions make very different truth claims on a number of even basic issues. And they do so in a definitive manner. In other words, as any knowledgeable student of comparative religions will tell you, every religion—not just Christianity—claims exclusivity. 

Here are a few examples:
Nature of God

* Christianity

— Monotheistic, personal

* Buddhism

— Monistic, impersonal

* Hinduism

— Monistic, polytheistic
Identity of Jesus Christ

* Orthodox Christian

— Deity incarnate

* Orthodox Jewish

— human only

Dr. Michael Green is an internationally respected author, speaker and scholar. He is currently Senior Research Fellow at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford University, England. He recently authored the text “But Don’t All Religions Lead to God?,” Navigating the Multi-Faith Maze (Baker Book House, 2002). In this book, Dr. Green writes:

“Jesus is unique among religious leaders in claiming to bring God to our world in His own person and making good that claim by such powerful evidences.”

Green says that no other spiritual leader or teacher but Jesus Christ…

1. ever claimed to bring God to man
2. dealt radically with our wickedness
3. broke the final barrier of death
4. offers to “live inside” His followers
