AHHHH Heck lets just post your words

You wrote

Mohammed was a false prophet, but that doesn't mean that "Allah" is a false god. "Allah" is the Aramaic word for "God."

Yes, Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. But that also means that God is Truth. We can't deny truths in other religion, because all truth is God's truth. So when other religions teach that God sustains everything in existence, that God is One, that God is omnipotent, et cetera, we have to affirm these truths.

Yes, no one comes to the Father except through Jesus. But does that mean that someone has to recognize Jesus explicitly? Certainly someone who "loves his neighbor as himself," without understanding and explicitly acknowledging Jesus as Lord and Savior through no fault of his own, implicitly acknowledges Jesus.

PS I can and do deny the "truth " of Islam,Hindu,Buddhism,Mormonism,Jehovah Witnesses

I deny the "truth of any "religion" that denies the divinity of Christ,the trinity,or salvation by the blood of Jesus Christ

You quoted me accurately, but you seem to miss the point. I said,

"We can't deny truths in other religion, because all truth is God's truth. So when other religions teach that God sustains everything in existence, that God is One, that God is omnipotent, et cetera, we have to affirm these truths."

I didn't say that we had to affirm these religions as wholly valid. I said we have to affirm whatever truths they have as valid. After all, Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. So all truth in a sense is Jesus. If you deny any truths you deny the Truth, the embodiment of Truth, Jesus.
