If God is Love, why can't all loving paths lead to Him? Why do some say their Path is the Only Path?

Answer 1

I like your question. I think all paths lead to Him. I don't know why there are so many different religions. They mostly believe in One God, creator. Thinking theirs is the only right way seems wrong. It has caused so much suffering and destruction. I believe the only right way to live, is to be the best person you can be. That would be different for different people. Love everyone and care for each other. Ease suffering if you can. Whatever your religion or lack of religion. Doesn't matter.

Answer 2

We all believe some things are truth and some things are false. Our experience proves it, and our lives depend on it.

For example, have you ever realized how many times you act in a certain way because you believe something is true? You'd never drink from a bottle that was marked "poison"; you know it might kill you. Poison is always dangerous, and you avoid it because you know this is true. In other words, you act in a certain way because you believe in truth—the truth that poison kills.

What does this have to do with God? Simply this: God is the source of all truth—and He has revealed the truth about Himself to us. Christians believe God did this in a way that staggers our imagination: He became a human being. Do you want to know what God is like? Look at Jesus Christ, for He was God in human flesh! As the Bible says, "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory" (John 1:14).

This is why I invite you to look at Jesus Christ as He is revealed in the pages of the Gospels. When you do, you will realize how much God loves you and why Jesus alone could say, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6).

Answer 3

God layed out a path to him in his word The Bible.Many people translate it differently and think just because The Bible speaks against something they may be doing it is wrong.There are many laws here in the US we disagree with but they are still the law.Same with the word of God.If you read God's Word with a open hart and mind with prayer He will show you the path to him God Bless

Answer 4

This is written from a perspective that is Bible-based, so please bear with me if you do not necessarily agree with me. Thanks.

Real love is about loving God first, because truly, God loved us all first, before we could know how to love anyone, and even before we knew to love God. [1]

It is written that in the Son Jesus Christ, the love of the Father God was made manifest... and if one rejects the Son, then one has rejected the Father. [2]

Jesus said, if you have seen him (Jesus the Son), then you have also seen the Father. [3]

Jesus also said, that he (Jesus the Son) and the Father are one. [4]

Jesus also said, that he (Jesus the Son) is the way, the truth, and the life, and that no man comes to the Father except through him (the Son, Jesus). [5]

So, it is love for God (Father/Son) that makes all the difference. [6]

The love we have of everyone else on this earth is made perfect only in our love for God. We can not walk a "loving path" without loving God (Father/Son) first. [7]

One can argue against this by arguing that my faith is not the only valid faith. I would argue back that no one faith is any more valid than any other. However, if the claims Jesus made are true, one is missing the boat if one does not slow down and take a hard look at everything He said.

I was for quite some time a nonbeliever in any God, and at one time I was a believer that all roads lead to God, having studied many religious paths and been afraid that I would miss the boat by not embracing them all... but today, I want to simply encourage all people to keep seeking God in their own special way, with their whole hearts. [8]

Today, based on my study of truth as it exists on all paths... I believe that all paths lead to God ONLY if their end is Jesus Christ. I trust Him to bring this to pass for those who are truly seeking to love and serve the one true God. [9]

I know that it took me 24 years of "seeking" to find the Jesus who is the only way to God, though I had "studied" about Him prior to that. So I don't want to force my beliefs on anyone. I simply want to speak the truth in love -- real love, modeled by Jesus Christ -- and allow others to make their own decisions. [10]

I pray that it does not take everyone else quite so long to know Him. We are not necessarily guaranteed even one more day of seeking. Don't take 24 years to find Jesus.

All my best on your journey.

Answer 5

I have another question.

If God is Love, then cant we all just make love and go to heaven?

Hmm...that doesnt sound very sensible tho does it?

Maybe because God is not Love. God is more than Love and God is not a concept like Love is.

God is compassionate.

God is merciful.

He can be destructive.

But He can be equally forgiving.

Those who find a good mixture of all that God represents. and those who do everything possible to do good on earth.

Will probably find God first.

Answer 6

All those who seek after truth are on the path to God.

Answer 7

Because Love is just one aspect of an Infinite God. He is also Holy. His holiness means that sin is not tolerable. Since we all sin, none of us can come into the presence of God. God loves us so much, that He could not/would not leave it like that. He provided a way for us to be cleansed of our sins - His own sacrifice. Jesus, fully God, fully human, became our sin and died, in essence deleting the sin - He was raised from the dead - giving us eternal life since He is eternal and infinite. Acceptance of God's free gift of salvation cleanses us from sin and allows us a relationship with God Almighty and we are able to come, once again, into His presence. Since He allows us the great gift of free will, it is your choice if you want to accept His gift. You now have a decision to make.

Answer 8

We didn't say it. Jesus said it.

John 14:6
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

So, since Christians believe that the Bible is the infallible Word of God, we have to believe what it says.

Answer 9

hi don. I bear in ideas studying a narrative on internet, Its abt a gardener and a butterfly. there grow to be a larva in backyard the position noone hardship to flow. the in hardship-free words man or woman who grow to be in and round grow to be an previous gardener. After ending his daily recurring of watering the plants, unweeding etc the former gardener laid his eyes on something vivid. shocked via the appearance he went to envision it out and positioned a butterfly grow to be about to emerge from the larva. It grow to be the most magnificent sence he had considered in a lengthy time period. inspired via the sight, he stay to envision the outcome. The butterfly poped its head and slowly very slowly butterfly grow to be forcing itself out from the difficult coccoon. Taking pity on the butterlfy, the gardener took a pair of scissors to widened the outlet the butterfly had tore open. The butterfly got here out freely and laid there for couple of minutes. minutes grew to grow to be hours yet neither the butterfly flew nor did the gardener flow. finally the butterfly ended up with a prematured wings. each sorrow, each soreness has its fee. god can help you out via supplying you with the easy user-friendly route, yet you gained't understand the fee till you earn it. i imagine God is way smart for having designed existence in this format..

Answer 10

They have yet to learn real love that's all. Real love means acceptance, tolerance and loving someone or something for what they are, not what they can make them become. I have my beliefs but I won't push them on my children or anyone else for that matter. Everyone can believe what they like, the thing that annoys me is those who preach and try to convert you..such arrogance.
