This reminds me of Jesus' tail of two roads: a WIDE road and a narrow path. They are
not the same. The WIDE road leads to death and painful destruction. The narrow path
leads through Jesus Christ to the Father in Heaven and LIFE. That doesn't mean that we
are disrespectful towards those on the wrong road... but as sure as we live and love
them, we must point the way to life!
Paul the Apostle did that when he saw the altar to and "unknown god". Paul didn't
start preaching against all of their false gods, but rather started preaching for
Jesus Christ, starting with their altar, by introducing them to the One they didn't
know. That is the kind of respect we need to have for others who don't yet believe in
Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is Lord!
