Or is there only one?

2007-08-18 12:38:16 · 33 answers · asked by Anonymous in Society & Culture Religion & Spirituality

I'm actually agnostic, just so it's clear

And if you don't belive in god, just pretend that maybe if it did exist, which do you think it would be?

I believe that Jesus Christ was sent from heaven by God the Father, and the clear testimony of Jesus Christ Himself as well as His apostles was that He was the only way to God. He was so convinced that He allowed Himself voluntarily to be tortured to death on a Roman cross to intercede for the fallen race of Man.
If Jesus Christ is not the Only Way; then He is not Any Way, because if He is not the Only Way, then He is a liar, and no liar can lead you to God.
Ask yourself why a liar would let himself be crucified for no reason.

I'm a pagan, and an agnostic too. The Christians will tell you that there is only their way.

I asked a question along these lines a month or so ago. I asked if Christianity was the only religion that claimed to be THE ONLY religion. It wasn't the only one, but the others that made the others that also made this claim were also monotheistic, with a male deity in charge, like Islam When I asked Pagans the same question, the answer was clearly that no Pagan thought of Paganism as the one and only true spiritual path. So, polytheistic female-inclusive spiritual paths were clearly the ones that felt that there is more than one true path.

I have said this before: I think this is one of the worst things about Christianity, one of the things that makes people say it is not for them.

must my opinion

Definitely. I just answered a similar question, so I hope you don't mind a little coping and pasting!:

It's my firm opinion -and I do admit to taking this from the movie, "Dogma"- is that it doesn't matter what you have faith in; just as long as you have faith. I've noticed that it's very common for different areas to have different religions; in the western world, Christianity is dominant, in the Middle east and the like, Islam is dominant, and so on. I know, two lame examples. So what? WANNA FIGHT?! Erm...hmm. Anyway, where you are born in very large part determines what religion is dominant around you and therefore what your religion is most likely going to be. Born to a Jewish Family in a Jewish neighborhood? Hello Judaism! Born in the Middle East? Islam would be a very wise choice. Those extremists who are absolutely convinced that their religion is the only choice and that everyone else is wrong would be defending a different religion had they been born a few miles away. Very few people choose their religion -other than Atheists, of course- like they choose roll-on or stick deodorant. They're born into it, which is okay. Just realize that that evil heretic who practices that foul blasphemy of a different religion was probably taught that what they believe is right when they were no more than two years old.

I like to think that as long as you're a good person -that, and no other factor, including religious preference, race, color, creed, sexual orientaion, or bubble gum flavor- you will get into heaven, if it exists. And if it doesn't; hey, you were a good person.

I was going to ask if you believed in what Jesus Christ did but since you say you are agnostic well that changes everything. I myself believe that Jesus Christ is the true Son of God and his death, burrial and ressurection is the only path to God. Yeah I know that is kind of narrow minded but that is how God wants it.

Please consider carefully what this verse of Scripture might mean:

"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."
Matthew 7:13-14

and another:

" There is a way that seems right to a man,
but in the end it leads to death.'

Proverbs 14:12

To any question, there are always more wrong ways to answer that right ways.

Since you did not capitalize the word god, I must tell you there are many paths to many gods. But there is only one way to the Father, the son of God, Jesus Christ.

Yes, there is only one path to God. There may be different names and ways, but the fundamental principles are all on one path only.

There is only one way and there'll be few that find it. But here is a clue...

John 14

1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

...and there will be few that find Him.

Depends on what you mean by "path". The only way to God is through Jesus Christ, but we each have a personal relationship with Him which may look different, since we are individuals.
