Many religions..not one religion but many.

I don't think God gives a sh!t about many of the things that we humans think he does. How can any one religion be so selfish as to think that they are the only ones that God favors when there are billions of people around this world. I'm a Christian, but Christians are the worst claiming they are it. Jesus gave us some pretty firm messages and set some pretty good examples. His message was not so much that he was the only son of God, but one of love and tolerance. When he said that the only way to the father was through him, he meant to act like him and be like him. Learn what he taught. IT'S YOUR ACTION, NOT YOUR BELIEF THAT BRINGS YOU TO GOD! You can't convince me that God will condemn some poor little kid in Africa to hell because he never heard of Jesus Christ. You can't convince me that God will condemn some young mother from Southern America for not accepting Jesus Christ when her only examples are judgmental and condemning Christians. The God I worship is not that cruel. So yes LadyBlue, I believe that there are many paths to God.
P.S. I have never seen a "word count" of certain words that Jesus used. But I would be willing to bet a months pay that the word "hypocrite" is in the top ten. He used that word very often. Wish many of these so called Christians would understand that and learn what that word means.

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

One Lord, one faith, one baptism Ephesians 4:5
“BY THEIR FRUITS”
Would God use more than one organization to dispense his truths in these “last days”? Well, has God ever used more than one during any other period of judgment? In Noah’s day, did any other boats with people in them, aside from Noah’s ark, have God’s protection and survive the flood? No, only the ark and its occupants did. (1 Pet. 3:20) Were there two Christian organizations in the first century? No, God dealt with just the one. So, too, in our day, there is still “one Lord, one faith, one baptism.” (Eph. 4:5) That there could be only one united congregation is made clear from Paul’s words that “you should all speak in agreement, and . . . there should not be divisions among you.”—1 Cor. 1:10.
Love for God would also mean believing in, and talking about, his incoming government for all the earth, his heavenly Kingdom. Jesus taught us to pray: “Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth.” (Matt. 6:9, 10) Who among mankind today make God’s kingdom the central doctrine of their teaching and preaching as did Jesus? Who call on people in their homes to tell them what God’s kingdom will accomplish on earth? Who fulfill the commission Jesus mentioned when he foretold: “This good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come”?—Matt. 24:14.

No, Not if you want to go to HEAVEN!!
Jesus Christ is the only way to Heaven the Bible says, You must be born again, John 3:3, the reason is we are all sinners, none of us is good, Jesus was perfect and Holy, we are not, we make mistakes, all human beings make mistakes, so without becoming a child of God and having all those sins washed away you cannot go to Heaven when you die. There is only one true God. He is Holy and Perfect, and He died on a Cross at Calvery to pay our sin debt. This Christmas we celebrate his birth, doesn't it have a special feeling to you, seeing the kids smiling and happy, it just has a special feeling, Jesus is our Saviour, and He died on a cross arose from the grave the third day forever opening the door to salvation to all who will believe. Are you willing to confess to Jesus that you are a sinner in need of a Saviour? Are you willing to admit to repent and make a change and serve Jesus Christ? If you are you can become a child of God right now this minute, He will save you and make you one of his children, just pray this sinners prayer of faith believing in Jesus with all your heart, Dear Jesus, I know and confess that I am sinner in need of salvation. I believe you died on a cross at calvery and arose from the grave to wash away my sins, I ask you right now to come into my heart and save me, I pray this Prayer believing in the name of Jesus Amen. If you prayed this prayer with a sincere heart you are now a child of God, rejoice that your name is written in the Lambs book of Life. Jesus will now send his Holy Spirit to come and live in your heart and guide you into all truth. If you made a decision for Christ or have any questions, Please send me an email, God Bless YOU!!

I believe that every religion...no matter what diety is worshipped is the right spiritual path for the true believer. If you find peace in your faith, and truly believe...then you've found your path to "God". It doesn't matter really what religion it is...Christian, Islam, Pagan, Hindu...Religion is there to bring you spiritual peace. I'm not trying to preach for any particular religion, nor am I trying to bash anyone's beliefs, but this is what I believe to be true...

Personally I believe that the only way to God IS through Jesus Christ. But I have to admit, God may have other plans for people to get to Him---through other avenues.

Jesus would disagree with you:
Joh 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
Notice He didn't say "a" way, "a" truth, "a" life, He declaratively said I am the only way, the only truth, the only life, the only way to God.

There are many wrong ways, but only one right way. The right way is Jesus Christ. The wrong ways do not lead to God.
