Right. So. Depending on what version of Hinduism you're talking about, because there's polytheistic Hinduism, there's monotheistic Hinduism, and there's atheistic or non-theistic Hinduism. Yeah, you could be atheistic. Yeah. So they can't all be true. So truth by its very nature is exclusive, right? If I say two plus two is four... Well, I'll give Andrew the benefit of the doubt.

Andrew says 2 plus 2 is 4. I say 2 plus 2 is 6. One of us is wrong. Now, we could both be wrong, but the truth is that 2 plus 2 is 4. He's right. And so in that sense, that's an exclusive truth statement. So if you look at all the world religions, I would ultimately say they're all exclusivistic at some regard. I say Jesus is exclusivistic in the most important regard.

Well, yeah, so I would say Christianity is inclusivistic in that all are called to come. But it is exclusivistic in that Jesus loves you and calls you to come as you are, but he loves you too much to leave you where you are. And so it's unconditional, but it's not unconditioned. Because all you have to do is... Give up your life and follow Jesus.

Well, it does in the sense that when I say it's unconditional, it's that Jesus says all are welcome to come. But there is a condition. Yeah. There is, right? It's not nothing. Yeah. And in that sense, God is either, right, the universe— In like an Eastern mystic kind of idea, or God is a personal being. They can't both be true.

So we, I think all world religions have these like superficial agreements, but they disagree on the fundamentals, right? Who God is, who we are, why we're here, what sin is, what the afterlife is like, how we solve the problem of human flourishing. Like all these things are important topics, but Advil and arsenic both come in pill form.

But it's not the similarities that make you choose one over the other when you have a headache. It's the differences. So as someone who has studied world religions, I would say that there is no such thing as a religion that accepts everything.

Because even if I say Jesus is God incarnate and there's only one God, he's not just a guru and his teachings actually don't give you reason to just chop him up to a guru. then that's excluding the worldview system of something like Hinduism or Buddhism, which would also include that.

So to that, I would say there's no such thing as a good person. Because we're all sinners. So all good people. There's no such thing as a bad person. All good people go to heaven. That's clear biblically. Right. But Jesus says no one is good but God.
