There Are Many Ways to God ~Lies Masquerading as Truth~
70% of Americans believe “many religions can lead to eternal life.”
Are there many pathways to God? Is Jesus just one of many doors into the presence of God? Is Jesus optional?
“Dear brothers and sisters who belong to God and are partners with those called to heaven, think carefully about this Jesus whom we declare to be God’s messenger and High Priest.” Hebrews 3:1 NLT
“There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12 NLT
The claims that Jesus made about himself:
He claimed to be the ultimate judge of mankind. John 5:25-27
He demanded devotion; even above family. Matthew 10:37
He claimed to be the Messiah-God. Mark 14:61-62
He accepted worship. Matthew 14:32-33, Matthew 28:16-17
He instructed us to pray in His name. John 14:13
He claimed divine authority. Mark 2:5-12; Matthew 28:18 “Christianity is not primarily a theological system, an ethical system, a ritual system, a social system or an ecclesiastical system—it is a person: it's Jesus Christ, and to be a Christian is to know Him and to follow Him and believe in Him.” John Stott
Jesus is not one of many ways to God but proclaims Himself to be THE Way. John 14:6
Jesus is none other than God Himself. Colossians 1:15, 19-20
All who are saved will owe their salvation to Christ. John 10:16
Salvation is not about fairness but about grace.
Jesus came to this earth not to exclude anyone but to offer salvation to all who would believe. Philippians 2:6-11
