I’m not sure about that… Other religious groups – April 28, 2024
Manage episode 415131784 series 2136182
The third topic Melissa takes on in the series exploring questions, wonderings, and themes that come from our congregation, focuses on our relationship as Christians to other faith communities and religious groups.
Serious sports fans may be the most ardent religious fanatics, forming around a common belief in something bigger than themselves, sharing a devotion that changes how people spend their money, time and energy.
The Christian life will demand a particular allegiance, a form of life that requires setting aside other allegiances, including our allegiance to money.
Melissa offers a caution about the kind of belief that all religious paths lead to one god. This glosses over some very serious disagreements in our communities and defaces the self-identity of those distinct religious commitments. But an even more important reason is that it gets us out of the hard work of the Christian life.
