Do all paths lead to God?

Question

Scripture states the path that leads to life is narrow and few find it. The one that leads to destruction is wide and many are on the path.

Do you think you are on the right path?

Answer 1

Yes, Praise God, I Know I am on the right path.....When You Have Jesus Living in Your Heart, You Know that You Know, THAT YOU KNOW.....(smile)
I John 5: I3 >>>These things have I written Unto You That believe on the Name of the Son of God; that Ye May KNOW That that ye Have ETERNAL LIFE...........
" Thank You, JESUS"

Answer 2

If you take into consideration that God is the all knowing, all present, energy of what is in this universe. Then you would also, after a few years, come to the knowledge that even destruction itself is God's design.

Everything in this universe is here by the will and existance of God. To say that one scripture is true and is the only wisdom would be like...

If you were to bake a batch of cookies.(bare with me)
and out of those twelve cookies, one did not have enough left for a full shape. One cookie was half the size as the others.

A few minutes go by and eleven of your friends came to your house.
You offer your eleven friends the cookies. It does not take a genius to figure out that the last cookie that's left on the plate will undoubtedly be the half size cookie.

Every human being believes that the normal looking cookies are better because those cookies are "Normal" and "accepted as what a cookie should look like.

The truth is, those cookies such as they are are no different than different scriptures from all the diffrent(and they are) versions of the bible throughout the world.

It doesn't matter what size or misgivings those cookies have, they all came from the same batch. That first batch of dough that you created because you wanted to share the knowledge of how good they are. They are all the same.

The path to destruction is the majority of those cookies. The path that leads to life is the one "abnormal" cookie. Yes, because what people think is "normal" and "acceptable" they will almost always go for the path to destruction. But as you, the God of the cookies knows, all cookies stem from the same creation.

But if you made all of those cookies, all paths lead back to you.

The road to destruction, the road to salvation,... all lead back to God.

I am on the right path because I know that there is nothing created in this universe that does not lead back to God.
The all knowing and all seeing God would never create something just to torture us and push us to oblivion. God is the only fully just thing in this universe. God is LOVE AND WISDOM!!!
Do you think God would ever want to torture bring pain to anything that God created???

So the question you have asked comes down to this;

What Scripture... what cookie have you been eating?

God is Benevolence and nothing apart from Benevolence.

God loves us all, God does not torture us. We torture ourselves by what we think God wants from us.

I tell you right now friend. God wants us to love and love everything in God's creation. I love everything for what it is...God... Do you?

Answer 3

I know I am.

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

Yes I'm on that path. I'm "In Him" (John Ch. 15) and I say that with trembling humility and awe. God is so awesome.


(Also note 1 John 5:11-12, all of Romans, and pretty much the entire Bible)

Many blessings to you.

Answer 4

All paths lead to the only true Creator of the universe.

Answer 5

"Do all paths lead to God?" - Yes, they do. Then GOD either rewards or punishes.

"Do you think you are on the right path?" - I sure hope so, but I really do not know. I haven't looked into other paths, I am very comfortable on the one I am on.

Answer 6

i believe that all paths do lead to the experience of and knowledge of the Divine- eventually (reincarnation-not in one lifetime)

none are "better" than any other- but some might fit you better than another...

your rate of development can vary and sometimes you go down paths of destruction- but this is the way the soul evolves

Answer 7

All paths will eventually lead to God. For Gods rewarding or Gods punishment. You, me everyone is going to get one or the other.

Answer 8

Mathew 7:21-23

I know I am on the right path. I follow exactly what Jesus Christ set as an example for us.

Answer 9

Jesus once taught a message...and had the audacity to say "only through me." Now, that's not Gunslinger saying "only through Christ", but that's His quote.

so...the question isn't "do all roads lead to God?" but "was Jesus right or wrong in His statement."

Well...He paid a price for His statement..... and three days later we received the receipt from Heaven.

Now, when muhammed, buddha, or any of the millions of gurus for hindus can show us they have conquered death - then I'll entertain their teachings about death.

But as I see it...they're still dead...so...they haven't mastered death, and that sorta weakens their case for me buying into their teachings.

Answer 10

Who says its about our path TO God? Its about HIS path TO us!

Here....let Peter Kreeft, the brilliant professor of philosophy at BC (Boston College) explain it to you!
