Why do many people think there are more than one way to heaven?

Question

They hate christians because we believe that people can only go to heaven through Jesus. What do u think?

daleswife: Best answer so far. You're right

Answer 1

Why do you think there isn't? Further, what makes you think there is a heaven to begin with? If you don't like people criticizing your beliefs then why are you criticizing the beliefs of others? That isn't a very Christian thing to do.

Answer 2

I do not hate Christians for thinking there is only one way to Heaven. I just do not agree with them. They will support their stance by quoting scripture like John 14:6 "Jesus said to him 'I am the way and the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father but by me.'"
But they often forget to look beyond just one verse and miss things like Romans 2:14-16
14(Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law, 15since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them.) 16This will take place on the day when God will judge men's secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.
This tells me (I am not a Christian BTW) that God (or whoever you believe as the higher power) will accept and reward all people who have love in their hearts for their fellow man. Good deeds done for the sake of doing good, not out of expectation of reward, can be enough to grant eternity in wherever you believe (Heaven, Nirvana, etc)

Answer 3

In Christendom, they have to believe that, because if you just follow the teaching of Christ that only those born again go to heaven, than that would mean a lot of children burn in hell. You have to believe that Christ was wrong about this in order to get past the allegation of children are suffering.

Answer 4

All who come to God in The Way He proscribes will receive His free gift of Salvation and become of The Body of The Church of which Jesus The Christ is The Head. Those are the ones of The True Christian Faith... only those of The Church will enter Heaven

If any one has a question about the basics of The True Christian Faith you may email me.

Answer 5

You are the one who is wrong. Any religion that claims to be the only way to God, is a lie.

Think about it logically, if you are capable. Do you actually believe that this God who loves us so much would condemn over 50% of all the humans living on this planet right now? That is total absurdity.

Please throw away that book. Better yet, ignore everything written past the gospels. Or do you really worship Paul?

Answer 6

What makes you think there is only one way to heaven, just because you read it in a book that was edited by man.

Answer 7

Christ is the path of salvation.
Christ is the truth of God's Word.
Christ is the life eternal.

Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Christ is the tree of life.

Gen 3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

Answer 8

Greetings,
You are correct!!!!!!! There is only one name under Heaven given by which one can be saved JESUS CHRIST....... The reason that others that have been enticed or duped off of the true path to evelasting life is by the workings of our enemy Satan and his minions influencing their lives and them not being strong in their faith are deterred from their eventual goal.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Jesus said that He is the light of the world. Imagine, if you will that every human has this big ugly mud cake on their face (sin) the light (Jesus) plus the mirror (the bible) would expose this to them, they would rather NOT SEE to aviod the mud cake on their face and vainly attempt other ways to remove it, rather than going ot the one who can remove it.
