There is a Chinese proverb that says “There are many paths to the top of the mountain, but the (mountain top) view is ALWAYS the same.” No matter how different the various religions or belief systems seem to be, they all lead to the same destination. This is similar to the ancient Hindu story where a King gathered blind men and asked them to describe an elephant Each one grabbed one part of the elephant. The one that grabbed his trunk said “the elephant is like a hose” The one who touched his ears said the elephant was like a fan And so on they went. Each argued that they were right and the others were wrong. The point of the story is that they are all equally right. Today, its popular to have the same view, everyone’s beliefs are equally valid. It seems very tolerant. But are all paths to God equally valid? In this talk we investigate John 1 from the Bible to find an answer to this question.
