ALL Roads Lead to God (...)
Pablo de Fleurs:
I heard a great sermon today.
I used to debate those who maintain that "All roads lead to God" (translation: no religion owns the truth) - until now.
The preacher posited that all roads DO, in fact, lead to God (meaning Judgement Day). But all roads do NOT lead to the saving grace & work of Jesus Christ on the cross.
The difference is that many will not like the results of what their "road to God" yields them . . . from an eternal perspective.
[Reverse engineer their argument]
Syzygy:
Straight is the gate and narrow is the way, and few are they that enter therein. (somewhere in the Bible, I forget where)
Doesn't leave a lot room for the "all roads..." theorists.
Libertas:
I think you are right...had to look it up though...
Matthew 7:14 King James Version (KJV)
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
I like the reverse-engineer thing. ::thumbsup::

Doesn't leave room for the "all religions" theorists, but, like Pablo, I believe all roads lead to God. Doesn't mean "all roads" allow entry to Heaven, but they all lead to the Great Decider.

Invariably the Bill becomes due. We must be recompensed for our deeds & chosen paths. For some it'll be the ultimate "Oh Sh*t" moment.
I've heard folks say that if God would just leave a heavenly Post-ItTM note - telling them exactly what He wants them to do . . . that they'd do it.
Ironically, He has . . . it's approximately 1200 pages long & generally referred to as the Bible!
