"Aren't All Religions the Same?"

This is a question posed and answered at church a couple weeks ago. This message answered so many questions that I have thought about my whole life. Pastor Bob had a Professor from Biola University, Craig Hazen, who has studied Christianity and World Religions his entire career come and answer questions on this subject. These are the main questions they addressed:

• What do you think most strongly influences the majority of people’s beliefs or choice of
  religion? Why?
• At the end of the day we’re all worshipping the same God aren’t we? Why
  does it matter which religious path we take?
• If the various religions really are different how can we know which one, if
  any, is correct? What criteria or standards can a person use to decide?
• How is the Bible different from other religious books like the Qur’an, the
  Book of Mormon, the Bhagavad-Gita, and others?
• What sets Jesus apart from all the other religious figures in other world
  religions? Why is He so unique or better?
• If you studied all the other religions, why aren’t you Buddhist, Mormon
  or Muslim? Why are you a Christian?

Hearing all of the information they put forth made a real and profound impact on my life and on my faith. I urge you, if this is something that you have ever even wondered about before, to listen to this podcast.
