Asikh

Introducing a savior. Emily O spoke with a Sikh on a plane and reports this conversation:

I explained that Christianity and Judaism both emerged from Hebrew (Old Testament) religion; he saw this as parallel to the emergence of Sikhism from Hinduism.  I showed how the three monotheistic religions differ in their views of Jesus.  I used Sun and sunlight model to explain that Jesus is God and shows us God.  I used two apple trees to show that only one sin makes us a sinner.  I drew the scales and made the IRS comparison to critique salvation by works.  He said he learned more about Christianity than he knew before.
