Several decades ago a guest on Larry King's late night talk show asked him an interesting question. Larry is a great host, asks great questions, then lets the guests talk without much interruption, saying whatever they want to say about the issues Larry asks the guests about. This night the guest turned the tables on Larry and asked him the right question about who God is. The guest knew that Larry had invited many Christians to come on his program, and was very familiar with Christian beliefs of the Bible. The guest also knew Larry, who was not Jewish, had converted to Judaism at some point in his past. Here is the question the guest asked Larry:
Is Christianity the one and only true religion?
Larry responded, If the resurrection (of Jesus) is true, all bets are off.
WOW! Not only was the right question asked, the right answer was given!
Every religion in the world other than Christianity that does not believe and practice that Christianity is the one and only true revelation of the ONE true GOD must discount many truths about Christianity, but these two specific truths about Christianity MUST be discounted and rejected in order for their religion about who they believe God is to gain a foothold in people's minds:
(1) They must discount the truth that Jesus Christ was God before His incarnation, and was made flesh during His time on earth.
(2) They must discount that the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ was true.
Once they have discounted these primary truths concerning Christianity, 95% of their time is then spent arguing about what the rest of Bible Scripture says and means, not realizing that you can't understand what the rest of the Bible says and means AFTER you have rejected these two primary truths about Christianity.
It's as simple and as difficult as that!
