" The main question of the theology of religions culminates simply in

two basic affirmations that can be seen as guidelines for any

biblical theology of religions. The first is this: God desires all

men and women to be saved. " For God so loved the world that he gave

his one and only Son " (Jn. 3:16). " This is how God showed his love

among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might

live through him " (1 Jn 4:9). The most pointed passage is 1 Timothy

2:4, which affirms that God " wants all men to be saved and to come to

a knowledge of the truth. " These passages and a host of others make

it clear that it is the heartbeat of a loving, caring Father to save

all of his creation into an eternal communion. This is rightly called

the " optimism of salvation. "

 

In addition to this first axiom, which consists of the boundless

mercy of God that makes possible salvation for all, there is also

another equally strong biblical conviction, namely, that only in

Jesus Christ can salvation be found. This means that universality

(salvation of the world) is reached by way of particularity

(salvation through the mediation of Jesus Christ). A host of biblical

passages also makes this clear: " Salvation is found in no one else,

for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must

be saved " (Acts 4:12). " I am the way and the truth and the life. No

one comes to the Father except through me " (Jn 14:6). "

Dear All,

 

i have just updated this link as i had forgotten to do so earlier:

az-zukhruf_43.61.htm

 

By reading it you will realize that even the Koran claims that Jesus

will be the sign of the Hour of Resurrection. Raimundo Panikar's

book " The Unknown Christ of Hinduism " arrived yesterday and i will be

posting his introduction, a must-read. The Adi Shakti/ Comforter has

also given us the same message of Jesus Christ, and all that He was

unable to deliver two millennia ago. In short, we now have all the

experience, evidence and enlightenment of eschatological evolution

(Resurrection).

 

It is still early dawn ...... and there is still considerable work to

be done. Let's hope we can complete it before 12-21-2012.

 

regards to all,

 

jagbir
