Appeasement Theology (Part 3)

Appeasement theology is not heresy, but rather apostate. It denies the deity of Christ.

In a conversation with someone recently regarding their apostate views that I've deemed Appeasement Theology, they made the following comment:

". . .I believe no one religion has a monopoly on truth. In the final analysis, we are all blind men trying to explain an elephant. We can only use metaphors, and metaphors are culture-specific symbols.” (Link)

The comment is partially correct in that no one religion has a monopoly on the truth, because truth was and is Jesus Christ. Jesus wasn’t about establishing a religion, He was about establishing a Kingdom. He was not a mere metaphor or symbol. He was God incarnate.

Sadly this kind of thinking has crept even into the church, but it is not Biblically founded. If it is then Jesus was a liar, and not to be trusted. "Never trust a dishonest person to be honest." I believe that this statement is an attempt to pacify men, but castrates the power of the true Gospel.

5 Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. (John 14:5-6)

“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. (John 10:1)

7 Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. (John 10:7-11)

There is only one way into eternal life, and that is through the door. The door is Jesus Christ. If you try to get in any other way, except through Him, will find death. Because the door is the WAY. The door is the TRUTH. The door is the LIFE. The door is JESUS the CHRIST! He is the only way.

Jesus was not a cultural metaphor. He came to earth, and walked through history as flesh and blood. He came so that all men everywhere might be saved.
