“If this broad and inclusive approach were true, then Christ died for nothing. With a sorrow deeper than any man has ever experienced, Christ asked His Father to have the cup pass from Him if there were any other way (Matt. 26:39). If the Father could have said something like, ‘Well, the Rig Veda has some promising developments,’ then why did Jesus have to die? Jesus had to die because there was no other way to save us.”
