The movie, Life of Pi, starts off with a young lad exploring different religions, but in his mind combines them all as being true, an approach you might expect from Hinduism, because it is pantheistic. Even as a young adult he held this view. Christianity teaches, though, a contradiction is a contradiction, so they cannot all be true, but only one can be true. And that any false belief eventually breaks down. This young lad finds himself on a ship to Canada from India with his family with all sorts of animals from the zoo that his father owned to be sold in North America.
The ship sinks (1978), and the young lad enters a lifeboat with a tiger, zebra, orangutan and hyena. The hyena eats the zebra and orangutan. The tiger eats the hyena. And after many attempts at trying to eat the young lad the tiger eventually becomes passive. Eventually they make it safely to land.
As a grown man he recounts the story to a writer. But after he gives the story, he adds a twist. He explains how the insurance company for the Japanese ship came to him for an explanation for how the ship sank. They did not accept the fantastical story Pi gave. So the boy gave them another story, one that was more realistic, about how humans treat each other, how eventually the people in the life craft after many days turned on each other in the face of death. Pi then asked the writer which story he believed was the true one? and which did he prefer to believe? The writer said the one with the zebra and the tiger. And so Pi said, This is how it is with God.
My response to this is that this is a Satanic movie, because it is teaching Christianity and Christ is just a story, but a lovely story people are free to believe to comfort themselves with. And that in reality God is just a distant absentee landlord. But that is unholy, unrighteous and unjust as it would be for us to treat each other this way. How can God have standards below our own? Therefore, you know Christianity is true if for no other reason than the resurrection proof, since there is no naturalistic explanation to account for the eyewitness testimony of the Apostles in various group settings.
There is no other name under heaven by which one can be saved so unless you come to the cross as a helpless sinner to receive the Lord Jesus as Savior, God in the likeness of flesh, who died on the cross for the sins of the world and resurrected the third day, you surely will go to Hell. Let me not mince words by saying Hell is the domain that God has created, devoid of His presence, in which those who prefer to be eternally separated from the exclusive God of the Bible by not accepting the Son of God Who He truly is (2nd Person of the Trinity), shall be.
Praise the Lord!
