Yes, but they all converge at Jesus and its a straight shot from there.

What would the Pope say?

What would the Pope say?

The one who just resigned after accusations of child rape?

 

[Nick M]

Yes. In fact, all paths lead to God. But only one path leads to life.

 

[skinker]

There's only one path to God Most High, the heavenly Father of Jesus Christ, and that is through His Son. God's put this relationship in the heavens with Signs to guide us spiritually below. It's all revealed in Celestial Torah Christianity at: http://biomystic.org/celestialtorah.htm

What!???

 

[GuySmiley]

Yes, all paths lead to God, but some for salvation and some for judgement.

 

[aCultureWarrior]

People are lead to God down many different pathways, but there is only one way to eternal salvation.

Good answer!


For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

Yes.
Every person has a path they must take if they want to get to God, but every path to God leads to Jesus first.

As many as there are people to walk them, I would think. I can't imagine why God would deny anyone access.

I remember years ago reading a journal entry written by Thomas Merton in which he was sitting quietly in a work shed at the monastery and listening to the birds singing outside. As he listened, he was thinking about the amazing variety of songs he was hearing and from that began to contemplate the wonder of creation and awsomeness of The Creator. So that for Thomas Merton, on that day in that place, this was his 'pathway to God'.

These pathways to the Divine are everywhere, and open to all of us, if we can just take a moment, wherever we are, and allow ourselves to become aware of them.

Lovely response!

Because they chose to deny God's clear instructions?

Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

 

[Buzzword]

He/she who seeks, finds.

There is but one path (selflessness), but there are many different names for that path.
