Not a word we use often, but most of us are familiar with the concepts behind it. Then I want to go on to begin to look at the bible's answer to Pluralism. And we'll start where the bible starts - with God's very nature and being. Well, as you may know or have guessed, the word comes from the word plural, meaning more than one, not singular. When applied to religion or philosophy, it is the idea that many, or even all, beliefs, are equally valid.
Pluralism denies that there is one absolute principle or truth behind the universe.
With regard to God, pluralism says that no one religion can exclusively claim to know the truth about God. The beliefs of a buddhist, a hindu, a muslim, a Roman Catholic, or a Sikh, are all equally valid and true. The emphasis is on the sincerity of the believer, rather than on what he or she actually believes. Pluralism is very tolerant. It tolerates all kind of beliefs, even though they may contradict one another.
