As long as the kids themselves think Christianity is true what’s the problem? The Catholic Church used to teach that it was the ONE TRUE CHURCH. Well that offended a lot of people so it was changed to the Catholic Church teaches the FULLNESS OF TRUTH. That is, other religions have some truth but we have the most there is to be had. So the kids can just say Christianity contains the “fullness of truth.” If the kids are uncomfortable with that, then why the heck are they even Christians at all?

The quotation from John in the article. Jesus made it pretty clear what his opinion on this particular subject was. And the great commission. We are to tell all men about Him. We can either say:

* "He is the way, the truth and the light. Noone comes to the father but thru Him."

* "He is a way, He knew the truth, and he's one of the ways you can find the light."

One is biblical. The other isn't. If you are evangelizing to folks, eventually you have to be prepared to answer that question. No sense being scared of it. If you have a question about that, you really aren't a Christian.

What's the problem with being afraid to speak the truth?

Couple of problems here. Christianity lives or dies on the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Christ, without qualification, told his followers to tell the world about Him. That includes identifying false religions for what they are.

How are you missing this? They either don't really believe Christianity is true or they don't know the basics of their own religion! It is a core tenet of Christianity that Jesus Christ is the one way to salvation. These kids are like Buddhists who think Nirvana is just a band Kurt Cobain used to be in.
