Do all religious paths lead to God ?

Question

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Answer 1

No. There is only one God, and only one way to God, through Jesus Christ.

Answer 2

Well it depends whose answer you take. From a Christian point of view all religious paths DO NOT lead to God, only paths that go through the Lord Jesus Christ. Whereas many new agers will say all paths lead to God.

Answer 3

No "religious" path leads to God. Religion is man invented. Only those who come to God in The Way He prescribes will receive His free gift of salvation. Those bcome part 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.

Answer 4

Many people love God (The Creator) by many names. These people have chosen faiths that seem seasonable to them. They made their faith decisions for tradition(family), reason(They studied and like it), and expression(they feel completed by the rites of the faith).

Some faiths seem on the surface to be intolerant, closer study reveals better answers. For example in the Bible it says that "All things work together for them that love the Lord." By this statement it means that people who love the Lord (or God) will find that things have a way of working out so they may draw closer to God.

So yes, unless you worship Chaos then all religious paths do lead to God if followed with one open heart, one open mind, a pinch of courage, a pinch of faith, and a pound of love.

God bless you on any path you're on so long as you respect the rules of traffic and occasionally yield the right of way. Watch the road rage and be patient with people that don't get it.


Blessed Be!

Answer 5

Yes, in fact all paths lead to God, religious or "not". All will appear before Him in judgment but only those who have an advocate at His right hand will escape judgment. All other paths will be seen as deceit and falsehood.
Good question

Answer 6

The only path that leads to God is through Jesus Christ, His Son. The Bible says : " No man cometh unto the Father except through me." That was Jesus speaking. Being "RELIGIOUS" will not lead to God. You need to have Jesus as your personal Savior, and live your life according to His teachings, as found in the 4 Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

Answer 7

Most do, but not all. All Christians religions lead to the same type of God. Egyptians have multiple gods as do pagans, roman mythologists and a lot of African religions as well. buddhism does not have a "god" at all they strive to have a higher sense of self and a higher way of being, but not a god which is sometimes completely misconstrued by people that are ignorant to true Buddhism.

Answer 8

As Catholics we believe that the fullness of truth is in the Catholic faith. Other faiths have truths and can lead a person to God. Religion is to lead people to God and peace. One example is the Islamic religion - They pray they pray to God, the same God Christians pray to (the God of Abraham) although they reject the Trinity. Other religions relate to God in different ways. Religion is a good thing. As Christians we are to "preach Christ crucified" so that all may come fullness of God's plan and may recieve the joy of Jesus Christ who is Lord forever and ever.

From the Catechism -
842 The Church's bond with non-Christian religions is in the first place the common origin and end of the human race:

All nations form but one community. This is so because all stem from the one stock which God created to people the entire earth, and also because all share a common destiny, namely God. His providence, evident goodness, and saving designs extend to all against the day when the elect are gathered together in the holy city. . .331

843 The Catholic Church recognizes in other religions that search, among shadows and images, for the God who is unknown yet near since he gives life and breath and all things and wants all men to be saved. Thus, the Church considers all goodness and truth found in these religions as "a preparation for the Gospel and given by him who enlightens all men that they may at length have life."332

844 In their religious behavior, however, men also display the limits and errors that disfigure the image of God in them:


Very often, deceived by the Evil One, men have become vain in their reasonings, and have exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and served the creature rather than the Creator. Or else, living and dying in this world without God, they are exposed to ultimate despair.333

845 To reunite all his children, scattered and led astray by sin, the Father willed to call the whole of humanity together into his Son's Church. The Church is the place where humanity must rediscover its unity and salvation. The Church is "the world reconciled." She is that bark which "in the full sail of the Lord's cross, by the breath of the Holy Spirit, navigates safely in this world." According to another image dear to the Church Fathers, she is prefigured by Noah's ark, which alone saves from the flood.334

Answer 9

Logically they cannot.

This is because the various religious traditions of the world contradict each other on points that is claimed to be essential to salvation.

So if one path leads towards God, of necessity, its opposite would lead away.

It is similar to the principle that if someone is going up hill in travelling in a given direction, someone else travelling in the opposite direction must be going down hill.
