Evangelism - Mere Christianity by CS Lewis

I was reading Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis a couple of days ago and this was what struck me in the second section of the book,

(II) What Christians Believe, The Rival Conceptions of God

As Christians, We DO NOT have to believe that all the other religions are simply wrong all through. We are FREE to think that all those religions even the queerest ones, contain at least some hint of the truth. But of course, at the DIFFERING points, being a Christian means thinking that Christianity is right and they are wrong.

There are two ways to look at this God issue:

God exist vs God does not exist. Christians, Hindus, Jews and Islamic followers believe that God exists.

However, some believe that God is beyond good and evil where, the universe is God there is no absolute truth absolute good and bad. This is held by the Hindus, something known as Panthesim.

On the flip side of the coin, others (like Christianity, Islam, Judaism) believes that God is definitely good. He is the maker of the heavens and the earth, he is the Creator, he determines what is good and evil. That's what we believe. That God indeed is our maker, our creator.

Go read Genesis 1 - the story of creation and marvel how God created this world from nothing, and how he created us, both man and woman from dust, making us in His image to care for this world. Amazing I tell you... =)

Just my two cents worth... In His love, Grace
