you're in--you're out
Something about our human condition makes us want to be a part of an exclusive group. Not just any group, but an exclusive group, one that not everyone can get into, one that's reserved for just the right people who fit in. It happens with children, with youth and with adults. The problem is, there are always some people who don't get included, who don't get chosen at recess, who don't get asked to dance, who get black-balled, cold-shouldered, and voted off the island.
How do we connect people people with a God who makes exlusive claims like, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me?" Are we not adding to the "exclusivity" club? Can we lift up one claim without putting down the others?

Jesus accepted everyone.
Everyone must accept Jesus.

I don't know. That's a question I struggle with myself. It's hard. I don't want to believe there's only one way. I would like to think that there are other avenues because we only see from our own eyes. I don't know what other people are perceiving about the world and their spirituality. There are some very good people that will supposedly be condemed because they don't believe Christ was the Son of God. I guess we all deserve to be condemed.
