Pretty amazing and sad, yet not surprising. This is just one more Last Days signs when all the folks sit in churches built for Jesus yet deny the truth of what he said. They have a form of godliness (we look good in our church and we do good things!”) yet deny its power. Jesus is the only power that can save us from hell. But yet you won’t hear that preached in over 70% of the churches in America.
*****************************
A cornerstone of the Christian faith – and explicitly laid out in Scripture – is the belief that Jesus Christ is quite literally “the way, the truth, and the life,” and therefore He is the way to God in the afterlife. That naturally would mean being in God’s presence would depend on belief in Jesus yet according to a poll by Probe Ministries, 70% of Christians believe other religions can lead to heaven, too.
That belief may be well-meaning but it is deeply illogical, as Christian apologist Frank Turek has pointed out, because religions that claim they are true can’t all be true at the same time.
“What we have in our country among professed believers is, for one thing, a biblical illiteracy problem,” he tells American Family News. “The Bible is unequivocally clear: The one and only way to go to Heaven is through a personal relationship with the Lord, Jesus Christ.
McFarland, who regularly speaks to teenage audiences, says the biblical disconnect is especially true among so-called Millennials. Citing the poll, he said 94% of them agree a relationship with Jesus is the best decision a person can make.
“But almost that same amount of Millennials,” he points out, “said it would be ‘wrong’ to try to persuade someone of a different religion out of that religion and into Christianity.”
