Why is anyone surprised or upset that a Xian minister says his religion is the only true one? What else should he say? Surely everyone believes their religion is the only true one, or they wouldn’t belong to it. We certainly believe that of our religion, so why should it upset us that they believe it of theirs?
The Xian bible says that it is impossible to be saved except by their god; every human being must either accept their god r”l, or else go to Hell. Catholics are not bound by what the Bible says, so their pope can say maybe there is another way to Heaven, just for the Jews. But Protestants are stuck with what their Bible says. This minister is honest; those who claim to disagree with him are either not being honest about it, or else they’re not being honest when they claim to be Xian.
The important point is that he loves us even though he thinks we’re going to Hell, just because the Torah says he should. He wants the blessing of “va’avor’cho mevor’checho”. And we should appreciate that.
