Is JESUS the Only SAVIOR? Ronald H. Nash, (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 1994)
“Analysis” Society in general has a miss-conception that there is more than one way to obtain the Kingdom of God though other means and gods. However, Jesus states that “No man can come unto me less it be given of the Father (John 6:65 KJV) and No man goeth to the Father except by me. (John14:6 KJV). As one digress “Is Jesus the Only SAVIOR” it is noted how Mr. Nash addresses the issue of pluralism to refute the faultiness of man’s doctrine with the Biblical references by rightly dividing the Word of God. Nash instinctively brings the attention that Pluralism and inclusivism, has invade the church body, not in all areas, however a majority; as an infection that …show more content…
Smith and Joseph Runzo submits that exclusivism is immoral, neither tolerable nor any longer intellectually honest in the context of our contemporary knowledge of others faith. Nash has fought the good fight here with in his words, by referring continuously to the Word of God. Society believes in general that God is a tolerant God, and as the world changes so does His attitude towards His creation. Hick reveals to us that his position of beliefs can be true and false at the same time, true for people conditioned in one way and false for others. There is no mistake in God’s word towards pluralism and tolerance, inclusivism are nowhere in the planned events of creation nor are they permissible for the Child of God to indulge in the manners of the world. Nash has provide that the born again believer has the mind of Christ when it comes to the discernment of false teachings, and Hick provides the falseness of world by teaching and referring to God as a mystical story that never existed. Nash’s conclusion bares witness to how strong the influence is of Hicks writings and teachings, which is looked upon by millions as factual information under the disguise of the word …show more content…

It is interesting how the word “love” has been taking out of context from the Word of God. Yes, a Child of God is to love as Christ love. Yet, how many have truly understood being honest with the Word of God is love, even in offending. Many forget that the Word of God is quit clear on subjects that millions today feel it is okay to take participation in with the world. To say one is saved by the Grace of God, one must truly be separate from the world, not in a state of being so heavenly that one is no earthly good, however can be seen from a distance as not of the world. Does not the world of God state all liars will not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven????(John 8:44, 1 Cor.6:9-1, Gal. 5:19-21, Eph.5:3-6 KJV) Nash in “Is Jesus the Only SAVIOR?” is facing some of the most debatable topics of today. Same sex marriage, if you take what Hicks states as pluralist thinks, then same sex marriage is permissible and tolerable by God.
