Is Christianity the Only True Religion?

The Heavenly Banquet

In this episode Chad Rhodes and Charlotte Elia discuss whether people of other faiths and people of no faith are cut off from the means of salvation. Can those be saved who have never heard the gospel? What about good, moral people of other traditions? And how do we as Christians relate to those of other religions?

Charlotte: What I know and what I affirm to be true is that Jesus is the way, the truth, the life, the path to salvation… but I don’t also see that as being limited. What God chooses to do outside of that or within that framework? I don’t really have any way to speak to that. So I can start to talk about different ways that theologians or the tradition has approached this question, but I kind of feel like… It’s not my business?

Chad: I feel you. Yeah. I mean, I think we can proclaim the truth of Christ without denying that there is truth that can be found in other religions. I don’t find that to be a controversial claim. I know some people would.
