Question
Sir,
I have read your response to a question on tolerance of other faiths and I really appreciate your answer. I have a sort of a follow up question. What should be a Christian's response to other religions? In a more specific way, to what level should a Christian 'accommodate' another's religious beliefs? I think I understand the distinction you made between Christians and religions, per se. So my question is directed at the individual level.
Many Thanks in advance.


Answer
Dear Dennis,


Religions are not Christianity, even Christian religion. Christianity is following the living Christ. He speaks and directs. Religion is following rituals and habits made by men. All are wrong. You can indulge them if you want and certainly we do not dishonor what others believe but it is not the saving faith in the living breathing Christ.

So best way is to honor what people believe and understand that most of the world is blind and wherever possible try and help.

Hope this helps you?

God bless
