One of the things that Oprah Winfrey said in a clip about "her church" that I shared with you recently is that all roads lead to what we may believe as god.. some people call it the light... some people call it peace... it doesn't matter what road you take.. as long as you end up with love and peace.. many of the women in the audience disputed what she said.... she would not address them... Oprah only said that there has to be different roads to "god"... and the women were saying no no no.. there is only One road and Oprah shook her head like they were nuts....
There is a common belief today that "All roads lead to God." Although it sounds good to respect each other's religious faith, the Bible teaches that the only way a person can be with God.. is on God's terms... not society's terms.... It seems to me that people will often just agree with this idea of all roads lead to a "god" -because it is easier that way... people are more friendly towards you because you are "open minded" and not some Jesus freak... but keeping our mouths closed isn't doing anyone any favors...
The Bible is the only inspired Word of God. Historians and archaeologist both agree that the Bible passes the test of time. Written over 1,500 years, by 40 authors on 3 different continents and contrary to popular belief, the Bible was completed with 99.99% precision... that definitely convinces me to it authenticity. In addition there are 330 specific prophecies about the coming Messiah in the old testament that Jesus fulfilled with 100% accuracy...
The resurrection of Jesus is the main belief in Christianity and the historical evidence is conclusive - actual eyewitnesses - people who loved Christ and people that despised Him.... Why would someone that hated Christ admit to His resurrection?
Jesus claims to be the ONLY WAY to eternal salvation... Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" Our life in Heaven depends on our belief and our faith in the Jesus Christ..
It cannot be true that "All roads lead to God" When we consider the different teachings about God from different religions, we see that they cannot all be true.. Many contradict each other or themselves in critical areas.. God does not make mistakes.... God does not change... He is and He will always be....

We have to chose to stand for God's Son, The Way, or please people by being "opened minded." I take Jesus. When we're convinced, there is no other choice.
We should pray for those who have been deceived. There is only one way to Heaven and that is through Jesus Christ who died on calvary that we who accept Him as our Savior will have eternal life.
Good post,
