I just want to point out that the culture in which we live makes the true Gospel of Christ offensive. Here's why:

This, my friends, is a Baha'i temple. Last week, I saw on a map that at the end of the purple line (a CTA train) there was this "attraction" called the Baha'i temple. I'm a curious person, so I went to check it out with a few friends. This looks straight out of Mecca. It is immaculate, a 9 sided building with beautiful gardens and architecture. Before going, I read up on the Baha'i faith in a book my Grandma gave me. It's a pretty neat religion, actually. The general idea is that God progressively reveals himself to culture as they can understand it. Abraham was a "prophet of God" to his culture, as was Moses, Zoroaster, Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed, and their special prophet who figured this out. Really though, doesn't this sound good? No one is wrong, no one is condemned because they were deceived by Satan, we all end up happily in heaven. That satisfies our postmodern mindset that everyone has their own idea of truth, all being equal. So to finish my encounter at the Temple, we walked in on a devotional meeting, where they quoted "scripture" from their holy book (a compilation of all the religious books I believe). So after the devotional, I asked one of the ladies who ran it what she was reading from. We talked for about 30 minutes about what she believes, and what I believe...asking questions back and forth. It went really well, actually. She was great, listening and explaining her faith. The only problem is that the Jesus she speaks of is not the Jesus that is in the Bible.
