Edit (5:11 pm): And OH GOD OH GOD (literally)-- another grade-A Elkhart Truth editorial today!

Bible States There is Only One God

I see a lot lately in the forum about different "faiths." The Bible says in Ephesians 4:4-6 that there is "one" body, "one" Spirit," one "hope," one "Lord," one "FAITH," one "baptism," one God. God sees any belief other than belief in his son, Jesus, not as faith but as unbelief.

In John 14:6. Jesus said "I am the way, the truth and the Life. No man comes to the father but by me."

It's not quite as hateful as my favorite "Satan started some religions or sub-religions to keep people from the true religion, Christianity" piece, because I guess the other religions can exist so long as we don't refer to them as "faith"? (Which is just bizarre to me anyway, because if they believe they're wrong I can understand not wanting to call them "the truth," but what's wrong with them being a "faith"? Faith doesn't imply accuracy).

These are even funnier to me now that I live abroad and have no contact with this type of thinking anymore. Most people I know outside the US (or even the Midwest) don't even believe me when I say this is the type of thing that turns up in the Opinion section of my local paper.
