Do all paths eventually lead to God?

Asked Jul 9, 2009, 12:20 PM — 309 Answers
I was on a thread last night that I was accused of hijacking...I apologize to anyone who thought so. ANYWAY, I was speaking to people who call themselves Christians and realized I wasn't even on the same page as they were. I do NOT believe that all paths lead to God and I do NOT believe that God placed his spirit in each of us. I do NOT believe that he has written his spirit on our hearts.(.I don't know what that even means? ) I can't find any scripture to even suggests such a thing. I believe the Holy Spirit indwells each believer in Jesus Christ. I don't go by what I feel, I only go by what the word of God says. We got on the subject because someone was on the Christian board looking for God and questioned what he had been taught .

I was surprised to see that someone who calls themself a Christian, advised the OP to read read read all different types of material from Hindu's, Muslims, wiccan...whatever! This was weird to me. When You have truly found the Living God through Jesus Christ our Lord....aren't you suppose to lead them to him through HIS word? In other words........ This is Jesus Christ speaking....


I am the way

I am the truth

I am the LIFE

No one comes to the Father BUT by ME! John 14:6


That is the only Christianity I KNOW. Help me out. Do you as a Christian believe other paths..(other than the Finished work of Christ)..leads to the Father?

So as a Jew do you live for God and the Jewish faith or do you leave God out of your life?
I believe that SOME in different religions can be saved because God KNOWS their heart and they go according to what they know but if you reject God or live for your own desires then God judges accordingly.
God does not reject us we reject him
Our life style and actions reflect it.

*The Bible does say the Jew first and then the gentile but I don't know the details on how he decides when it comes to Jews other than what I have just said.

Not totally sure I understand the Jewish relationship with the Father. I mean, are they automatically let in simply because they are Jewish? Because I do not see where they have to accept Christ.
But, guess this needs to be another thread? So please forgive me if I repost it on a new topic.

450donn,

I was teasing around. NO one comes to the Father but through Jesus Christ. Any Jew can come this side of the cross, as long as he comes like the rest of the church...accepting Christ as savior and Lord.

Note: anyone's thoughts are welcome though

If they reject God and live like a heathen then no they wouldn't have an ez pass. I really don't know either other than that.

Nohelp,

I think there are people who believe that but I can't see anything in the word to back that up.

What you say is right, but you missed one key point.. Jesus was both man and God.
