1. THE UNCOMPROMISING RELIGION

2. We live in a very dangerous time spiritually: a time in which terms such as: political correctness; tolerance; ecumenism have be-come such a part of our society that …

3. any individual, or group, who do not espouse in word or action, these same beliefs, find them-selves being labeled as legalists; intolerant; homophobic, & other such derogatory terms.

4. And those who often cry loudest for tolerance, are just as often intolerant of those who would dare to stand up for the Truth: the Truth concerning sin; false stand-ards; false churches; false saviors; & false teachings.

5. Christianity is, by its very nature, an … Uncompromising Religion! It is a religion “not granting con-cessions; inflexible; rigid” (AHD). It is not because of man that this is so: it is because of God, & the nature of Truth!

6. A book written by a Dr. Walter Martin, “Essential Christianity,” contains the following quote by a Colonel Robert Ingersoll, whom Martin describes as “the famous agnostic:”

7. “Christianity cannot live in peace with any other form of faith. If that religion be true, there is but one Savior, one inspired book and but one little narrow … path that leads to heaven.

15. “Muslims believe that Jesus was not crucified. It was the plan of Jesus’ enemies to crucify him, but God saved him & raised him up to Him. And the likeness of Jesus was put over another man.

16. “Jesus’ enemies took this man & crucified him, thinking that he was Jesus. God has said: ‘… They said: we killed the messiah Jesus, Son of Mary, the messenger of God.
