I have a friend who is "Unitarian Universalist". I've been introduced to "Christian Universalism" on AF. But the Unitarian Universalist is an entirely different animal. She believes in Jesus, and even that God was in Christ. She also denies the Trinity. However, she believes that the very God who was in Christ was also in Buddah, Krishna, Zoroaster, and others. She believes that just as Jesus spoke from His humanity, these men spoke from their humanity...thus many of their perspectives differ... but the God on the inside was the same. While trying to witness to her I brought up that Jesus said,
John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Her answer to this was that the very same identity that speaks in Christ also spoke in Buddah and others. Therefore, Jesus, Buddah, Krishna, etc. are all that very same "me"... and the very same Father existed in each.
I'm thinking that all I can do is pray for her. She has a Charismatic background and claims she has received the Holy Ghost. She's not against being baptized in Jesus name, but she states that she doesn't see giving up her broader perspective.
How would you approach this?
Thanks!
