I respect the faiths of others, just as I hope they respect my beliefs.

This is gobbeldygook, right? If she had “respect” for other faiths, she would also believe them. Right?

Exclusive claims to truth, necessarily exclude other competing exclusive claims to truth. Therefore, the same way Christianity excludes other faiths as not true, other faiths exclude Christianity as not true.

Thus in the same way that Judaism excludes Christianity as not true, Christianity excludes Judaism as not-true. It’s the nature of the beast.

I would say “I believe what Scripture teaches and what God says regarding non-Christian faiths”. When he says, “and that is?” I’d say, “the fact that you have to ask that question shows me that you truly don’t understand Christian truth claims. Read it for yourself. Start in John and then Romans. Next Question.”

Good post, but a caveat. Christianity doesn’t say Judaism is not-true. As Christ said, “I am come to fulfill the law and the prophets”.

Christians believe in the monotheist God of Abraham, of Moses and David. Christians are the new Jews, so to speak.

Maybe you should bone up a little on your study of Christian beliefs.

That’s one thing about the truth -

it stubbornly excludes those things that aren’t true.
