Guest Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Beloved, You Might Want To Request This Be Moved To The Outer Court Where Nonbelievers Can Reply........ Yes And Amen For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:17-18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, brother, they may call themseves believers, but they are believing a lie if they think that as well as coming to a wrong conclusion. IMO, that is.

( this was from an elder in that church fellowship) even in the USA, most teens ( in the neighborhood of 75% ) do not believe that Christ is the only way, and even few have a relationship with Him...... as was stated above, THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO THE FATHER, AND THAT IS THROUGH THE SON, we can not do it by works, being good does not do it.... there is more then one way to commit murder......... a young man came to Christ and asked Him what he must do to gain eternal life...... Christ replied that he must keep all the commandments.... the youngman stated all these he has kept since his youth..... Christ then told him he still lacked somehting, told him to sell all he had and give to the poor.... the man walked away saddened... for he was very wealthy..... well, by not giving to those that are in need, when you have plenty, or even an over abundance, you might just be depriving some one else of live, in essence causing death upon their physical body.. no we can not feed each and every person on this earth..... OR CAN WE?!?!?!?! what did we do prior to social security and welfare? THE CHURCH TOOK CARE OF HER OWN..... AND OTHERS AS WELL....... there is no way we can get to heaven on our own, that was one of the reasons for the laws to be given..... to show us how imperfect we are..... and that we are in need of a savior..... by excusing certain acts, we no longer have a need for a savior, cause we can do it on our own..... so we think....... we are just deceiving ourselves...... mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life. Nobody can come to the father except through me" So what is the reasoning? I am kind of new to believing Jesus is the only way but let me explain why it can be so confusing. The idea is that God (The source of life) has many attributes which are expressed through the different paths (Wicca, Buddhism, Christianity, Etc.). Within these paths to God are similar truths such as: Christianity: Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them. Matthew 7:12 ..and don't do what you hate... Gospel of Thomas Wicca: An it harm no one, do what thou wilt The Wiccan Rede Hinduism: One should not behave towards others in a way which is disagreeable to oneself Mencius Vii Anyway, you get the idea. And, it can be really hard for someone who believes this to wrap their mind around the fact that Jesus is the only way. Does that help??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizzdy Posted July 5, 2008 Group: Royal Member Followers: 1 Topic Count: 173 Topics Per Day: 0.03 Content Count: 3,911 Content Per Day: 0.67 Reputation: 212 Days Won: 10 Joined: 03/21/2008 Status: Offline Share Posted July 5, 2008 We all may take different roads to get on the right and only road to Christ but Christ's road is only true and straight one that leads to salvation and eternal life. To me all these different 'paths' have been set up by satan and his minnons to fool us. A very dear friend of mine believes she is on the right path, she believes that having faith in a church, a sainted woman etc. gives her these promises of salvation though she makes no mention of God nor Christ but since she is a very good person, does good things for everyone she is going to be saved. She seems to have been convinced through a little bit of this reading and a little bit of that and combine them all together you have a wonderful recipe for not only just being a good person but one that will eternal life. I cannot seem to get her to even read a bible says she doesn't really need it. This is what those 'other paths' have done to so many people.

Especially since we have no "proof" that Christ was raised from the dead. We have salvation only through faith, not by reason. Satan does not willingly let go of those he has convinced, and will use any lie or subterfuge to deceive us into believing that there is more than one way to salvation. And therefor, it makes sense to us to grab onto anything that makes us "feel" secure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
