“Four Reasons for Choosing a Religion”

 


I'm re-meditating on my spiritual journals, from the early 70s to the present. This is a summer-long project. 

June 29, 2009. 

At our annual HSRM summer conference.

J. P. Moreland is speaking. J. P. is one of the greatest teachers I have ever heard.

He presented “Four Reasons for Choosing a Religion.” Here they are.

1.   Pick a religion whose picture of God harmonizes with what we know about God from creation.

2.   Pick a religion that does the best job of solving and diagnosing the human condition.

3.   Pick a religion that is best explained by supernatural activity.

4.   Pick a religion that has all of Jesus instead of a watered-down, distorted version of him.
