key west bike ride
On Saturday I start 5 days and 300 miles on a bike. I rode 40 miles on Tuesday and Saturday, hoping that training will be enough for the 80 mile day this Saturday!
A few fun things…
One of the riders has set up a live GPS feed showing our location during the ride, it will be active starting Saturday: http://www.greenalp.com/RealtimeTracker/index.php?viewuser=KWBR2013.
As a group, we have reached our goal of $30,000 raised! Praise God (: Thank you to those who have donated money. If you would like to support me and great causes globally, you still can through March. Please follow this link and include “In Support of Matt Osterhouse” in “Notes.” Money raised goes to Gospel work overseas, specifically Zambia.
“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might
and honor and glory and blessing!”

Hey friends,
Just want to give a quick update on what is happening in Africa. Foremost, thank you for your prayers. This summer has been life changing already, not because I have “accomplished” much (we have been active and fruitful as a team), but simply because God has been challenging me. So thank you for prayer.
We are in Malawi now and have three more youth conferences planned (one already being completed this past weekend). Besides these weekend conferences, we will be serving at an orphan feeding center, doing village to village evangelism, and seeking to plant a church in a village with no witness.
Here are some pictures. More updates will be posted on the NMSI intern’s website: http://interns.nmsi.org/.

May [Matt] be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” Colossians 1:9-14

exclusivity in christianity
In an age of religious pluralism, I wrote this paper to defend the idea of Christianity as an “exclusive” religion centered on the person and work of Jesus Christ. I believe this position is vital for healthy theology and the church; it cannot be sacrificed!
The paper was my final assignment for “Judaism and Religious Dialogue,” a class I took with a Jewish Rabbi I have come to admire. However, I do not share the Rabbi’s view that people from the major religions all serve the same god. This paper seeks to defend Christianity exclusivity from the many objections it faces, and puts forth one main premise separating Christianity from other religions: Jesus is God.
Three final points before the paper. 1) This paper is a tiny part of the my dealing with the massive topic of exclusivity and covers only a tiny part of the larger discussion. Much of my senior seminar paper tried to deal with it, and my entire college career (and even my entire life) have shaped the thoughts I express here. 2) I write from a Protestant, conservative, “evangelical” perspective emphasizing the authority of the Bible, God’s grace in bringing sinners to salvation, and God’s purpose for all things being the rightful praise of his name (i.e. his glory). 3) Although I think it clear from Scriptures that Jesus alone can bring people back into right relationship with God, Jesus is willing and able to bring any and all who submit to the Lordship of Jesus. He is exclusive in the sense that He alone is the way of salvation, but inclusive in the sense that He saves all who lay hold of the “good news!” To God alone be all glory.
*The paper originally had footnotes. I have changed them to endnotes. Any system of citing sources in this blog format is cumbersome, so I choose the simplest option for me. Endnotes appear as a an italicized number, I have bolded and italicized endnotes dealing with additional Bible verses.
Introduction
“Within each of us is the spark of divinity, the breath of God. Our essential nature is boundlessly spacious, gracious, generous, and inclusive. Once we connect to our essential nature, we shall usher in the in the freedom of our true Self. But to get there we need to let of our individual narratives and conditionings, which make us judgmental, biased, and exclusive.” 1 How could anyone disagree with this statement? Seemingly, we can be passionate about our religious traditions, yet leave room for others! Yet I am going to disagree with this judgment in my paper. I will aver that Christianity is exclusive by nature. I will first examine the “interfaith journey,” then make the claim that Jesus is God, and finally defend an exclusivist position.
The Interfaith Journey
I appreciate the first three stages of interfaith dialogue. I am all for understanding other religious traditions; this is particularly needed in Christianity. In the “interfaith journey,” stage one involves moving past “separation and suspicion” of our neighbors from different religions. 2 Stage two involves “inquiring more deeply,” by looking honestly at other religious traditions. 3 And stage three involves “sharing both the easy and difficult parts.” 4 This is where I have difficulty continuing, and where I would like to examine more closely. I have wrestled with the idea of stage four, “moving beyond safe territory,” and stage five, “exploring spiritual practices from other traditions.” 5 I believe the Christian faith is by nature exclusive. If I am faithful to the Scriptures, I must insist on this. Sharing the difficult parts of Christianity includes sharing that Jesus if God, and he is the only way of salvation. I pray this does not come across as arrogant. I cannot force anyone to accept Jesus as Savior. This approach has historically failed, and is inconsistent with the Scriptures. I stand in the tide of my tradition’s failures, admitting we have messed up and abused the position of exclusivity. But I cannot deny this crucial position without compromising basic doctrines of the Christian faith. And if Jesus, as I believe, happens to be the only way of salvation, it would not be loving at all to deny this point. I cannot “figure out a way” to include those who do not submit to the Lordship of Jesus, Christianity believes Jesus has provided the way. Out of God’s glorious love for humanity and for God’s deserved fame and glory, Jesus became man, came to man, and died for man.
Jesus is God
There are many points on which to argue that Christianity must be exclusive, but I want to explore the central reason. Jesus is God. As Christians, we believe in the idea of a trinity. This is radical. In the Gospel written by the apostle John, there are seven metaphorical “I am” statements. For example, “Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.’” 6 There are also several absolute “I am” statements. For example, “Jesus said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.’ So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.” 7 This is perhaps the most stunning claim Jesus ever made. The Jews understood what Jesus was saying! The man Jesus claimed to be the God of Exodus 3:14, clear blasphemy. When the Jews accused Jesus at the Feast of Dedication, they announced this reason openly, “It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.” 8 There is an abundance of other biblical texts dealing with the deity of Jesus! 9 In Christian theology, this is of upmost importance! It has special application to many topics including: how to interpret Scripture, 10 how to view Jesus’ death and resurrection (vicarious atonement), 11 and how to view the future resurrection of the dead. 12 Christianity is different from other religions because Christians believe God came to humanity. We do not have to work to get to God, Jesus has come to us. We are born in sin, in need of saving, and only Jesus’ work on the cross can save. This is central to why Christianity is exclusive. Sin can only be atoned for if it exists! Only Jesus can save us and bring us back into right relationship with God. In New York, a pastor, rabbi, and imam came together at a local college panel discussion to talk about the differences in religious traditions. It was courteous and respectful, but the leaders agreed there were major disparities between the religions. “Each speaker affirmed that there were significant, irreconcilable differences between the major faiths… [The three religious leaders] agreed on the statement: ‘If Christians are right about Jesus being God, then Muslims and Jews fail in a serious way to love God as God really is, but if Muslims and Jews are right that Jesus is not God but rather a teacher or prophet, then Christians fail in a serious way to love God as God really is.’” 13
Scripture: Divine or Human?
How we look at Scripture will fix how we view any evidence on Jesus being God. If we believe Scripture is divinely inspired, we will most likely uphold the classic doctrines of Christianity, such as Jesus being God. But if we do not believe Scripture is divinely inspired, than we will see no need to come to the same conclusions. We are permitted to adjust the biblical record, correct its supposed historical and cultural failures, and update it to our preferences. I realize this is a simple breaking point in thought. But I wonder how weighty any thoughts about a real God can be if they start with us. Is there not a good chance we will end up with a God that reflects our desires? I posit that a God who is who He says is and has revealed himself in Scripture would not fit into our fancies, but would rather vary significantly, but with significantly more awesomeness.
Exclusivism and Plantinga
Alvin Plantinga, a Christian philosopher, authored a fascinating article defending religious exclusivism. At the beginning of the article, Plantinga points out two conditions that must be met in order to defend exclusivism. First, the exclusivist must acknowledge that sincere people hold to other religious beliefs and they sincerely practice their faith. 14 Second, the exclusivist must note that no person has an argument that will be persuasive to intellectually thoughtful people who disagree with the exposited exclusive belief (i.e. Christianity in Plantinga’s case). 15 With these two conditions in mind, Plantinga argues there is nothing wrong with holding to an exclusive position. Objections against exclusivism come in two forms: moral and epistemic.
Moral Complaints
Moral complaints against an exclusivist include: “intellectually arrogant, or egotistical or self-servingly arbitrary, or dishonest, or imperialistic, or oppressive.” 16 We must examine these claims more closely. There are three ways for the exclusivist to respond to moral complaints: the exclusivist can continue to hold his claim of a superior position, he can “withhold the proposition in question,” giving no clear resolution, or he can accept its denial, the path taken by many religious pluralists. 17 The only honest position for the exclusivist is continued belief in the exclusivist claim. “These charges of arrogance are a philosophical tar baby: Get close enough to them to use them against the exclusivist and you are likely to find them stuck fast to yourself.” 18 For example, those who argue against exclusivism using moral arguments contend that exclusivists are oppressive. But this argument falls apart. Those who disagree with the exclusivist do not oppress the exclusivist by suggesting another opinion such as pluralism.
Epistemic Complaints
There are also epistemic complaints against the exclusivist. Foremost, epistemic charges often take the form of arguing that exclusivists are arbitrary in “choosing” what they believe. But if exclusivists think they are epistemically correct in their belief (and that others are epistemically incorrect), that is no reason to change! The exclusivists must of course acknowledge they may be wrong, but so may the interlocker. 19 Epistemic charges often take another form; “this is the sense that goes with reason taken more narrowly, as the source of a priori knowledge and thus construed is a matter of knowing how to get what you want; it is the cunning of reason.” 20 The objection here is that the beliefs of the exclusivist are a kind of action, one that the exclusivist manipulates to fit his cause. But even if this were true, when exclusivists believe they’re view is correct, there is again no justification for changing that belief. The followers of major religions are certainly influenced by the place and culture they are born in, but so are pluralists and anyone who argues a priori knowledge cannot be applied universally! A final epistemic charge raised against exclusivists is that they do not have the “warrant” to hold such beliefs. 21 Put simply, exclusivists cannot know their beliefs are correct. This is true and something exclusivists should admit, but the same is true of those who are not exclusivists. Therefore, “from the perspective of each of the major contemporary accounts of knowledge,” exclusivists are not guilty of moral or epistemic failures. 22
Exclusivism and Keller
Timothy Keller, a Christian pastor, authored a thought provoking book defending conservative, exclusive, Christianity. In the first part of his book, he takes time to explain four common statements made against exclusivism. The first statement is this: “‘All major religions are equally valid and basically teach the same thing.’” 23 This is a common objection. It must first be noted that when people ask this question they assume to be speaking of the major religions, not “splinter sects,” for then they would be endorsing “religions requiring child sacrifice” and many other abominable practices of some religious groups. 24 Regardless, this position is inconsistent. “It insists that doctrine is unimportant, but at the same time assumes doctrinal beliefs about the nature of God that are at loggerheads with those of the all the major faiths.” 25 It embraces a view of God that is believed to be better, “more enlightened,” than the view of God endorsed by the major religions. 26 It is a very recent outlook, and a very Western one. The second statement is this: “‘Each religion sees part of spiritual truth, but none can see the whole truth.’” 27 The example of three blind men stumbling upon an elephant is often recited. The gracious elephant allows the three blind men to touch it, leading to different experiences for the men. The first man feels the trunk and believes it is long like a snake. The second blind man feels a leg and believes it to be round like a tree. The third blind man feels the side and deems it to be flat like a wall. Pluralists argue that, just as the blind men each feel and explain the different parts of the same elephant in distinct ways, so the major religions each describe the same truth in different ways. “This illustration backfires on its users. The story is told from the point of view of someone who is not blind.” 28 There is no way of knowing each man is blind unless the viewer claims perfectly vision. “How could you possibly know that no religion can see the whole truth unless you yourself have the superior comprehensive knowledge of spiritual reality you just claimed that none of the religions have?” 29 The third statement is this: “‘It is arrogant to insist your religion is right and to convert others to it.’” 30 This objection is related to the moral complaints tackled by Plantinga. “Many say that it is ethnocentric to claim that [one] religion is superior to others.” 31 But this whole idea is based “in Western traditions of self-criticism and individualism.” 32 In many places around the world, and in most major religions, people would have no problem saying that their religion is superior to others. And the fourth statement is this: “‘Religious belief is too culturally and historically conditioned to be ‘truth.”‘” 33 This objection is related to the epistemic complaints dealt with by Plantinga. While it is true that religious belief is culturally conditioned, “absolute relativism can only exist if the relativists exempt themselves from their own razor.” 34 As mentioned previously, pluralism is culturally conditioned, just like a religious position. “If you infer from the social conditionedness of all belief that ‘no belief can be held as universally true for everyone,’ that itself is a comprehensive claim about everyone that is the product of social conditions-so it cannot be true, on its own terms.” 35 We cannot neglect the difficult task of figuring out proper truth statements about the spiritual reality. “If you insist that no one can determine which beliefs are right and wrong, why should we believe what you are saying?” 36 Finally, the objection that all “exclusive claims to a superior knowledge of spiritual reality” are false, is “itself a religious belief.” 37 It assumes the spiritual reality is defined in some way, has certain attributes, and is ultimately unknowable. Moreover, when one insists that others drop their exclusivist claims, this “view is also an ‘exclusive’ claim about the nature of spiritual reality.” 38
Conclusion
It has been suggested by a certain Jewish Rabbi whom I admire that, if we were to take a trip together, all superficial differences in doctrine would smooth over. If our entire class, a mix of Jews and Christians, spent a week together camping in the woods, we would see each other as one humanity, worshiping the same God, and capable of loving each other authentically. It is a beautiful ideal, yet I do not think I can agree with the assessment. I do not believe I am the one who can “figure out a way” to let people in to God’s kingdom. And if Jesus happens to be the only way humanity is put back into right relationship with God, it would be most unloving to deny this.

summer in africa
I have the incredible opportunity to spend this summer doing an internship with New Mission Systems International (NMSI).
God has opened the door for me to travel to Malawi and Zambia to spread His kingdom!
I will be in Africa with a team of missionaries from NMSI from May 28 – August 16. You can learn more about NMSI at http://www.nmsi.org. I will going to Africa with a trip leader and possibly another intern. I will be serving alongside a national church planter and a national youth ministry director.
While in Malawi, we will host youth conferences, teach in public schools about HIV/Aids, preach, and mentor youth and youth workers. In Zambia, we will assist with two major ongoing projects: an agricultural training center and a youth ministry leadership development initiative. The agricultural training center has been established to generate funds for youth ministry in Zambia while providing opportunities to disciple youth leaders and equip them with practical farming skills.
I expect to cultivate deep relationships as I train and encourage new believers. I am excited to be working alongside a national church planter, a national youth ministry director, and NMSI missionaries. It is such an encouragement to know that there will be faithful people to disciple new followers of Jesus and continue to provide for the needs of people!
Please be praying for me. You can foremost pray for my spiritual state, that God would use those from NMSI in Malawi and Zambia in powerful ways for his glory. I am expecting to learn so much and grow spiritually during this time. You can also pray for God’s guidance, that I would not rely on my own fleeting strength, but on the powerful filling of the Holy Spirit.
I am raising my own support, and if you want to partner with me financially, you can do so online. First go to http://www.nmsi.org, then…
