I personally believe in all religions and that they are linked together by an esoteric thread. Even Islam which is now dysfunctional due to all of the hate that has been stored up in the group soul could also become an effective religious experience. But, right now Islam is bringing down the Muslims.
I would like to clarify a few things. Jesus is the one who said He was the only way. God says in the Ten Commandments that we should worship Him and no other. So, when I state that Jesus is the way to reach God, I am repeating what has already been said.
Further, there is no way that I could possibly compel anyone to believe in a particular fashion. That is way beyond my powers and abilities and I am not going to break my life by trying. I will present Jesus Christ and Him crucified and then leave the results in God’s hands. If He wants to bring about conversion, that is between Him and the other person.
I like to think that I do respect other people even when I disagree with them.
And lastly, a minor point in this conversation, but a major point to my children. I am a woman.
You’re betraying your ignorance of God.
No you don't.
You are buying a lie put forth by the Father of Lies.
Go back and reread his post. The poster didn't assert it was his way that was the only one to heaven, rather there is only one way to heaven and that is provided by God Himself, not by any other man, including Christian believers who are communicating the Gospel. That is simply a communication of the Gospel. Those who consider the issue between themselves and God through faith in Christ also have salvation. Those who reject it, simply will have to have more power than God Himself when they stand before Him and are judged if they want to control their eternal destiny.
That's a remarkable statement. I've a few questions:
1) How many gods are there?
2) Can one know God (or the gods) personally?
3) Is there a heaven, and if so, how does one get there?
I humbly disagree, and I think any one who has studied the Bible would also disagree
