"COMMENT ABOUT JESUS AT PARLIAMENT OF WORLD'S RELIGIONS"


Dear John & Doves,
 
I was just reading a 3 page article called "Religion's Double Edged Sword" at http://www.canada.com/vancouver/vancouversun/columnists/story.html?id=95795494-d21b-4a77-99a2-9fd10346f887 about the recent Parliament of the World's Religions, and page 3 at http://www.canada.com/vancouver/vancouversun/columnists/story.html?id=95795494-d21b-4a77-99a2-9fd10346f887&page=3 states,
 
"The rare low points for Slobodian ( a student) at the parliament came when upset individuals spoke out during workshops and claimed authentic interfaith dialogue is impossible, or that only Jesus was the route to salvation and all the other religions were false. "Sometimes it seemed people here at the parliament were preaching to the converted about the value of dialogue. But those negative comments reminded me why these conferences are important. They reminded me that inter-religious dialogue is still difficult for many people, perhaps most."
 
So it looks like this person is saying that anyone saying that "only Jesus was the route to salvation and all other religions were false" are "negative comments" when actually the truth is that only Jesus is the only way to salvation and all other religions are false.
 
God bless,
Donna
