There are many paths even within Christianity. Roman Catholicism has a different interpretation than Greek Orthodox than Lutheranism than Southern Baptist than Methodist than Presbyterian than Ecumenical than Restorationist than etc. etc. etc.

There are so many facets and fragments and sub-fragments, so many interpretations, so many different perceptions of the “Truth,” that there end up being many, many different paths taken. And each and every individual takes his or her own unique path to spirituality, too. No one individual’s interpretation is exactly like another’s.

Sure, all of these center on Jesus Christ. But the interpretations of Scripture can be very different. Even within the church that I grew up with, Lutheran, there is the Missouri Synod, the ECLU, and the LWF churches which are at odds with the CLC churches. The LWF and CLC consider each others’ practices to be “fake Christianity.”

So, many paths. Many mansions.

I am not saying all of this in support of Obama in any way, but just as a factual statement.

Hmm, while I’m rambling on here, let me ask an off-the-wall question: How many of you believe that there is life (with souls) on other planets in the Universe?

Except Jesus’ words are not vague.

“13 Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”

Lots and lots of people, including Obama, are on the road to the wide gate.

I can’t say that I have given it a lot of thought.
