Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man comes to the Father, except through me" (John 14:6). Is that a statement of exclusivity as traditional historic Christianity has always believed? It certainly looks like Jesus is saying He is the only way to the Father. Whoever believes in Jesus has eternal life. Whoever does not believe in Jesus does not have eternal life. That clearly sounds like a statement of exclusivity. But Progressive Christianity says just the opposite. Progressive Christianity says this verse is a statement of inclusivity. How can that be?
When we read that God so loved the world, traditional historic Christianity would say that means God loves all the people in the world. But Progressive Christianity says it means something entirely different than that. They say it means God loves this planet... the land and water, the plants and trees, the animals and man? Is that right? Is that why Jesus came to earth? Is that the gospel?
Join us in this fascinating look at a couple worldview shaping doctrines... what we believe about hell and what we believe about salvation.
