Letter to the Religion Editor
Dear Editor:
In response to Carrie Cecil's letter of Sept. 20, I would like
to let her know that Christ's place is within us in the form of
the Holy Spirit. He is also at the right hand of God. He does
not need for us to exalt Him to that position.
We must let Him grow in us so we can look at others with His
eyes. He never condemned the person, only their teachings or beliefs.
The only way a person is condemned is through the denial of Jesus
Christ as God's only son. If He is not accepted, then He is denied.
Christ taught us how we are to live and it can be very hard
at times because of our human nature. If it were easy then He
would never have said that the road to heaven is narrow. That
very human nature is what Satan feeds.
Certainly the nonjudgmental nature of Buddhism can be very
attractive to those who need an excuse for the way they think,
live or love. Trying to elevate any other figurehead to the position
held by Christ and Christ alone is an attempt to ease the conscience.
When a person truly gets to the point of knowing who Jesus
Christ is, there is no other faith possible. This is not because
He will not allow it, but because you cannot allow it for yourself.
The reason anyone still argues against Christ is because they
do not really know Him. To know Jesus is so powerful in every
way that it leaves nothing to be sought after or desired.
