Abstract: (3843 Views)
Religious pluralism is a suitable successor for two approaches including religious exclusivism and inclusivism. More compatibility of religious pluralism with the modern world’s requirements is led to more welcoming to it. This approach, however, is unacceptable based on its foundations, principles and especially results. Some significant reasons that it can’t be acceptable are as follows: 1. It causes people to neglect other religions’ facts; 2. It does not pay attention to some vital differences within religious traditions; 3. Welcome to religious pluralism is led to vain the question and asking for religious truth and human beings' salvation; 4. Accepting it is caused by epistemic relativism and meaningless of seeking for religious truth; 5. Attaching it led to vain divine revelation and the philosophy of Prophethood; 6. Believing in religious pluralism is caused to destroy differences between intellectual and imitative religiosity; 7. Debasement religiosity and religious creeds are as welcoming to religious pluralism; 8. Accepting it leads to violation in divine attributes and insult to divine dignity of God; 9. Welcome to religious pluralism is caused by religious immorality, and 10. Destroying the religious identity of believers. Now, considering unacceptable results of religious pluralism, and some problems of religious exclusivism and inclusivism, I suggest the Gradual Approach to religious truth and salvation, in the sense that these divine graces have been distributed gradually and hierarchically and longitudinally in all religions, although the final salvation is depended on human being’s struggling and effort.
