>"God is too big to be owned by any one religion"

>"If you seek and are humble, you will find God, regardless of your denomination"

>"Stop waving the banner of your religion around as if it is the only path to God."

How do you respond to this stuff? I keep hearing it online.

On the one hand it's kind of true, since anyone can seek and find God even people who have never heard of Christ, and they can be saved too.

False presupposition.

religion is only as big as man's understanding, which is finite, God is bigger by definition.

All the religions are mutually exclusive as they all contradict each other. So at most, one of them can be true. Some people like to say that each religion only has part of the truth, like in that old story about the blind men feeling the elephant. But that doesn't really make sense, as if God revealed himself to man, why would he give each group a little bit of truth mixed with a lot of lies? If you accept that every religion is wrong about many things, why would you believe any of them were divinely inspired?

And? There's no reason that a being to appeal to every ideology no matter how large it is.

only if youf religion was mad by a man though. There are many aspects of the Christian religion beyond human understanding but they are a part none the less, so i don't even accept religion has to be based on man's understanding.

Exactly. Good thing that the Christian faith is the objective Truth and not some petty religion.

>>576002

religion is made for man's understanding, regardless if God helps structure it or not, and man's understanding is finite. So no religion can encapsulate the full truth of God, no book can either, only one entity can

"God is too big to be owned by any one religion"

Nice idolatry. He is much larger than anything we can comprehend, however He has chosen to reveal Himself to us, most strongly in His Son.

Then you proceed to explain the Gospel because that's much more important than philosophical rabbit holes.

the only complete truth is God or the Word, neither of those are the same as "christianity" nor the same as "the bible" as Anderson likes to belief

>"God is too big to be owned by any one religion"

other way around. God has one truth, and owns one religion. He doesn't lie to some people about his nature, and tell others the truth. He has one truth and one faith.

>God owns a religion

God owns everything in creation. try again
