Shyness,
could please show me where in Scripture that it commands us to respect other religions? What Scripture in the Bible tells us that we should respect other religions? I don't think you are going to find a Scripture like that. There is a BIG difference between bashing a false religion and simply exposing a false religion. I do agree that Christians need to be very discerning of who their dealing with and that we should evaluate how we approach other people when we are attempting show them the error in their belief system.
Now, just because there are Roman Catholics or Buddhists or Muslims that are satisfied with their spiritual path, that does not make them okay in the sight of God. Because if they do not accept the Lord Jesus Christ, then the wrath of God stills abides on them and they are already condemned and headed for hell.
You see shyness, we can never trust our feeling or how we feel when it comes to religion. Truth be told, there are false religions and wrong religions in this world. Every religion that is not from the Bible and that was not founded by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is a false religion. All other religions in the world that were founded by men are false and wrong. Christianity, Biblical Christianity is the only true religion that exists on this earth. Remember what Jesus said in 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. - John 14:6
Jesus is the way to the Father. The only way. That means all religions that exclude Jesus and that have other ways are wrong and false. False religions like Roman Catholicism, Islam, Buddhism, Atheism, Hare Chrishna, and so on, etc. are false religions that do need to be exposed because they are leading millions, if not billions of people to hell. See shyness, we as Christians are not called to be pacifists, we are called to be spiritual warriors for Jesus Christ.
