Do you believe that "all rivers lead to the same ocean" when considering all the different Christian religions

Question

that as long as we all believe it doesn't really matter if you are Baptist, Catholic, Pentacostal, Methodist, etc.

Ummm.... Brian I know its a metaphore. I thought that was plainly evident from the question. Its also a very relevant question will all the denominations out there.

Answer 1

"...if any other Jesus be preached among you let that man be accursed..."

No all rivers do not lead to the same ocean,,, besides

"...wide is the road that leads to destruction and narrow is the gate that leads to Heaven..."

Answer 2

Yes, per Wikipedia:

Christianity may be broadly represented as being divided into three main groupings:

Roman Catholicism: The Roman Catholic Church, the largest single body, which includes Latin Rite and several Eastern Catholic communities and totals more than 1 billion baptized members.[3]
Eastern Christianity: Eastern Orthodoxy, Oriental Orthodox Churches, the Assyrian Church of the East, and others with a combined membership of more than 300 million baptized members.[3]
Protestantism: Numerous groups such as Anglicans, Lutherans, Reformed/Presbyterians, Evangelical, Charismatic, Baptists, Methodists, Nazarenes, Anabaptists, and Pentecostals. The oldest of these separated from the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th century Protestant Reformation, followed in many cases by further divisions. Worldwide total ranges from 592 to 650 million.[3]

Answer 3

Definitely. I think that pertains to all world religions, not just Christian religions. Some people may get stuck on a bridge or their boat may sink, but I think the ocean is within reach to everyone.

Answer 4

Main stream leads to the same "ocean" which is death! Read Rev. 12:9.
To worship the true Jesus Christ we must worship Him in spirit & truth! Truth is what the "word of God teaches it is" ,It's not what we decide it is!
If everyone can decide for himself what truth is then we have left God out of the picture & become a God to ourselfs!

Answer 5

all rivers do lead to the same Ocean because this planet in reality has only one Ocean,although peole have given different names to different locations,all the water is connected

but this has nothing to do with religion which is the cause of so much strife between cultural groups

Answer 6

Yes, Christian denominations are all centered around grace.

Some say you have to work for it, the Bible says you can only accept it as a free gift.

Answer 7

I absolutely do. Especially with the Christian religions...they all come from the same place. They all worship Christ (at least the ones I know of) and so, regardless of the way they worship or the way they choose to live their lives, they're all worshipping/believing in the same god.

Answer 8

No, some lead to oceans but some religions lead to mud puddles, swamps and pits of quicksand.

Answer 9

Jesus said: " Wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many that go therein; but straight is the gate and narrow is the way that leads to life, and there are few that find it". (Matt. 7:13)

Answer 10

as the basic fundimental belief is that in Jesus Christ, then yes.

that said, there are many religious leaders that have perverted the Word of God and Christ to their own benefit. therefore the church is built upon falsehood.

does that mean that all who attend are damned? of course not, only those that know of the deception and use it to their advantage.
