Are you accusing Jesus of reductionism because that's the author of the words that I used. Either He's the Way, the Truth and the Life, or He isn't. Was He just fooling around when He said that you must be baptized and believe in Him to be saved, and if you don't, you're condemned?
I'll be perfectly frank with you and I won't apologize for it either. I don't buy into this universal salvation that is being promoted by some today. I'm a Roman Catholic, not a Unitarian.
Our "finitie minds" were told by God Himself when He became man the means for salvation as expressed in the verses I gave earlier from Jesus. As well, His Apostles, St. Peter and St. John said, "Neither is there salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men, whereby we must be saved."
False religions offer no hope of salvation; neither would I want to encourage them to stay in something that would result in the loss of eternal life with Jesus Christ.
I only ask that you consider the thief on the cross next to Jesus ... to him The Lord And Savior said, "Today thou shalt be with me in Paradise." It is in God's hands regarding baptism, etc. But there is only One Way, Truth, and Life, Jesus The Christ. No man cometh unto the Father but by Him.
