JESUS Isn't the "Only Way"

 

60% of adults under 40 say Jesus isn’t only way to salvation; equal to Buddha, Muhammad - The Christian Post More than 60% of born again Christians in America between the ages of 18 and 39 believe that Buddha, Muhammad and Jesus are all valid paths to salvation and over 30% say they either believe that Jesus sinned just like other people when He lived on Earth or aren’t sure, according to a new study. There’s a “striking decline” in evangelical religious beliefs and practices over the last 10 years, as the number of self-proclaimed believers to hold these beliefs has increased by nearly 25%, says Probe Ministries in a statement announcing the results of its Religious Views & Practices Survey. The study, which interviewed 3,100 Americans ages 18 to 55 in 2020 and looked at various other previous studies, saw a drop in “basic biblical worldview” — God’s attributes, the accuracy of the Bible, salvation and Jesus being sinless — from 47% in 2010 to 25% in 2020 among born again Christians. The drop in the “expanded biblical worldview” — beliefs about Satan and morals being objective — went from 32% in 2010 to 16% in 2020.

- Lord we pray that this admonition from Hebrews 2:1 would be true of the church in America: “Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it.” Heavenly Father, help us to be diligent to read your Word, receive sound teaching, and live out a Biblical worldview so that we would not forget that we are the light of the world. - “ . . . proclaim the excellencies of Him who called [us] out of darkness into His marvelous light.” (1 Peter 2:9b)
