God Has Not Revealed Himself In Any Religion

Karl Barth

"In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son [Jesus], whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the universe."
(Hebrews 1:1-2).

Karl Barth, a Swiss theologian, who is often regarded as the greatest Protestant theologian of the twentieth century, was lecturing to a group of students at Princeton.

One student asked the renowned German theologian, "Sir, don't you think that God has revealed himself in other religions and not only in Christianity?"

Barth's answer stunned the crowd. With a modest thunder he answered, "No, God has not revealed himself in any religion, including Christianity.

He has revealed himself in his Son,Jesus."

The Religious Horse

Once a man bought a horse. The seller told him that he had to say "hallelujah" to make it go and "amen" to make it stop. 

One day, the man was riding his horse up the hills. He realized that the horse was galloping fast and heading towards the edge of a cliff. The chances of them falling to their death was very real.

The man was so afraid that he forgot how to make the horse stop. He thought this was the end of his life and he started to pray and then he ended his prayer with a loud, "Amen". 

The horse stopped abruptly right at the edge of the cliff. The man was so thrilled that he finally managed to make his horse stop that he shouted, "hallelujah!"

The horse took off down the cliff.
