Week 6 Discussion
DQ1 Jesus made many absolute statements such as the
following:
John 14:6: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one
comes to the Father except through me” (NIV).
Matthew 7:13-14: “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is
the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many
enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that
leads to life, and only a few find it” (NIV).
Interacting with these statements, how would you answer
someone accusing Christianity of exclusivism (as defined in Chapter
8 of the textbook)?
