There are thousands of species of just beetles. Why would god take the time to create so many if he did not like variety? So why would it not be safe to assume that he/she/it likes variety from worshippers too? Why would there only be one way to get into heaven? All rivers flow to the sea.
Hypothetical question only. No evangelism please.

I think you hit the nail on the head with this one. I see it the same way, beliefs and religions are just different doorways leading to the same room, it doesn't matter what door you choose, heaven is behind every door.

Yes He likes variety; yes all rivers flow to the sea; but there is only one way to heaven.
'I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me'
This isn't evangelism; this is a straight answer for a straight question.

Going by all your previous questions, and this one, I do not think you even have a slight grasp as to what the Bible means. The way into heaven is through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God does like a variety of people, but those people only get to heaven through him.

yes, God likes variety- it is clear by looking at His creation. And yes, there are many expressions of worship, prayer, singing , dancing, acting, evangelism, etc. But it is clear that though there are many expressions of worship and much variety within His creation, there is but ONE mediator between God and man and ONE way to fellowship with the Father- ONE path of salvation and that is through Jesus Christ.
There is no way around that

You're reasoning is faulty. You can't compare the veriety of beatles to the veriety of religions. I'm sure God loves veriety. I'm sure he loves, flat noses, pointy noses, black skin, white skin, brown hair, and blonde hair. Religion is a different matter. NOW we're talking about right and wrong, correct and incorrect, truth and deception. There is no variety in yes and no. Making any sense to you?
Good luck to you, my friend.

Yes... God likes variety...
This does not mean though that all spiritual paths lead to God.
Cordially,
