Claims by rejecters of Christ as Only Way to God

A couple of claims made by folks who think Christianity's claim to "THE truth" is to be rejected--- and a brief counter-thought:

Claim #1 “All major religions are equally valid and basically teach the same truth.”

Tim Keller: Ironically, the insistence that doctrines do not matter is really a doctrine itself. It holds a specific view of God, which is touted as superior and more enlightened than the beliefs of most major religions. So the proponents of this view do the very thing they forbid in others.

Claim #2 “Each religion sees part of spiritual truth, but none can see the whole truth.”
<> Three Blind Men and an Elephant
Blind Guy #1 grabs trunk and says, "Elephant is pliaple thin thing, like a snake."
Blind Guy #2 grabs a leg and says
Truth be told, as the story goes, they all have part of the truth and none have all of the truth. We--the chaps who aren't blind and are actually all-seeing--will now tell you what an elephant is in reality.


In response, Leslie Newbigin: “There is an appearance of humility in the protestation that the truth is much greater than any one of us can grasp, but if this is used to invalidate all claims to discern the truth it is in fact an arrogant claim to a kind of knowledge which is superior to [all others] . . . We have to ask: ‘What is the [absolute] vantage ground from which YOU claim to be able to relativize all the absolute claims these different scriptures (and religions) make?
