Religious Differences
- Religions offer diverse answers to life's big questions, like our purpose, problems, and solutions.
- Truth inherently excludes falsehood, so not all religions can be simultaneously correct.
Pluralism's Claim
- Pluralism, while seemingly tolerant, presents its own exclusive truth claim.
- Everyone holds beliefs they deem correct, even pluralists who criticize exclusivists.
Sincerity vs. Truth
- Sincerity in belief doesn't guarantee truth; even deeply held convictions can be incorrect.
- Christians prioritize truth over sincerity when evaluating faith.
