Other Religions"What do you think of other religions? Do you feel that everyone in the other faiths has the same opportunities of, say, going through these three stages of spiritual life?" Bishop Steinbock smiled. "The very first thing I said was that I think the difference between Christianity and other religions is that other religions are searching for God while I think in Christianity God is searching for man. But I believe, certainly, that God’s spirit works in all religions, and even though man is searching for God in so many other religions, at the same time God is searching for man too. And God’s spirit is going to be working through all religions. There is only one God. Whether we worship him with different names, there’s only one God, the Lord and Creator of everything. "So, what do I think of other religions?" He beamed, and spoke slowly, "I think other religions are beautiful, and wonderful. I think God’s spirit is working through them. At the same time, I believe very strongly that God reveals himself through the Lord Jesus who came into this world and wills all men to come to eternal life, or to the Father through the Son — even though a lot of people may not know the Son. So, a lot of people die in this world never even hearing of the Lord Jesus, perhaps. But at the same time, we believe that through the Son’s death and resurrection that those very people who never heard of him will come to eternal life if they’re trying to understand God and love God in their life — however their own religion may lead them." |
