C. Matthew McMahon
Christian Preacher
What do you think -
A man says, "mythology" is God's way of speaking to those he has not given the Gospel to. Pagans, Buddhists, etc, if they sincerely pray to "god" (whoever that may be for them) will be heard by God and He will hear them and accept them. When they have dreams, visions, or come up with mythological stories about a divine person, then God accepts that and accepts them.
If someone were to believe something like this, would you say he/she was a Christian or not?
I read an article recently that documents citations about a well known person who said some of these things. I will quote and cite them after. But what would your initial reaction be to this kind of thinking?
