1. Was Christ religiously tolerant in the meaning that all religions and creeds are soul-saving to man?
Correct answer: №2Correct!Educational materials: What are the differences between religionsComment:We have taken the liberty of writing this way because it is clear from the Gospels that Christ believed that it was necessary to accept faith in Him as the Son of God and Saviour in order to be saved.
Yes, the Saviour did not think it was necessary to execute those who did not believe in Him. Once, when the Samaritans drove Him and His disciples away from their city, the apostles "...said, Lord, do you want us to say that fire should come down from heaven and destroy them, just as Elijah did? But He turned to them and rebuked them and said, 'You do not know what manner of spirit you are; for the Son of Man did not come to destroy the souls of men, but to save'" (Luke 9: 54-56).
Thus, Christ said, not because it is all the same to believe, but because not all are yet ready to accept the Truth. But Christ said repeatedly that finding Salvation is possible only through Him: "Jesus said to him, «I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. (John.14:6) "I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. (John.10:9). "He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. (Mark.16:16). The Evangelists also spoke about it: "He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him. » (John.3:36)
