Cal Thomas: Do they think Jesus was a liar?

June 27th, 2008

Good thoughts from Cal Thomas:

I am shocked and appalled over a newly published survey by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life. It finds most Americans believe there are many ways to salvation besides their own faith. Most disturbing of all is the majority of self-identified evangelical Christians who believe this.

Apparently they must think Jesus was a liar, or mistaken, when he said: “I am the way, the truth and the life; no man comes to the Father but by me.” Look it up.

This theological ignorance is a product of several things. It is surely a product of biblical illiteracy by people who don’t read, or selectively read scripture. It is also fallout from the political correctness vice that says you are intolerant if you believe anything to be true, because people who have another truth, or no truth, might feel bad and experience rejection.

If they feel rejection now, wait until they hear “away from me, I never knew you.”

    Hi Bill,

    I’m pretty sure Cal is PCA, not Catholic –unless he has recently become a Catholic and I wasn’t aware of it.

    Tim, You are correct he is PCA. What a great statement he makes. I am OPC and have been PCA depending on where I am living (there are not alot of choices in the south). I was a member of am OPC in Dayton Ohio and our pastor said the same thing several times in different Bible studies we had. Thanks for posting this statement from Cal.
