Do All Religions Lead To God?

[HigherGospel]

Before we put away from among ourselves "the wicked person", we must first prove they are a "wicked person".

All we have to do is accept the whole counsel of God and from God's Word we will know "the wicked person"

Jesus did say we would know them by their fruit.

There is no sin that God won't forgive, believers who repent. There are many scriptures which confirm this.

Yes, but in these modern so called "enlightened" people are being taught there there is no need to confess and forsake (repent) of our sins because they falsely teach that all out future sins are automatically forgiven

This is why so many claiming to be Christians are living in sin because they have heaped to themselves teachers having itching ear

That all sing together "Preacher Preacher tickle my ear and tell me only what I want to hear"

 

[CrystalAnkles]

It gets very confusing with all the different religions and claims that this or that belief or ideas from various movements that they have the path that leads to God, so is it. When you hear a religious leader or teacher claim that all religions lead on a path to God, scripture is clear that is not the case. We find it in John 14...

John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Jesus declares that the only way to God is through Him.

Well, if we remember God said there are no other Gods before him,then it may be presumed all other deities are after him and can be none other than him if God is the only God to exist anywhere at all.

Christianity,while calling pride,selfishness in all its forms,and arrogance Sins,is actually in practice and reputation,all of those things.

It presumes to say all people everywhere are what our faith says they are. And,they can only become better and saved from their condition by following our rules under faith. Otherwise,everyone who does not do this are going to be condemned to burn in fire for eternity. Because our God who made them to be damned to that fate first,just for being born as sinners,i.e. those in disobedience to his will and laws, did not ask to be saved by him from the fate he attached to them the moment they were born.
Asking to be saved from and by the same God who condemned all the world,first. Unless or until he then calls some out of their destiny so to save them from it.

Do all religions lead to God? By our tenets,no.
However,if there is only one God then all religions can only be paying respect to the only God that exists.

God did not say, "There are no other gods before Him"; He said, "You shall have no other gods before Me." Do you see the difference?

Think of "before" in the other sense: in front of. "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies".

Read Psalm 82. There are other "gods", but no other "God".

Only those who are indwelt by the Holy Spirit, receive/accept the whole counsel of God. So I agree with your point, that we need to have the gift of discernment in order to identify a "wicked" Church member.

There is a huge difference between a member who may in a backslidden state and struggling with besetting sins, such as alcohol, drugs, pornography etc. and those who have surrendered to serve their lust. We need to get beside those those who are grieved by their sin and pray for them and work with them to overcome the temptation.
Those who practice their sin in secret and make no attempt to deny the temptation, are the ones we need to expose and excommunicate if they don't repent and confess their sin.

We have excommunicated members for sins like adultery. One left his wife and three children to run off with a very young lady, it's amazing to find that they went and joined another Church, where he became a pastor. I don't get how the elders in that Church accepted his application for membership and even ordained him as a pastor while he is living in sin.

Which apparently is very few seeing all the false doctrine being spread around these days

I see so as long as one understands they are doing wrong, they are still saved while they are doing wrong?

That's not accepting the whole counsel of God. Not be a long shot.

We need to get beside those those who are grieved by their sin and pray for them and work with them to overcome the temptation.

We need to teach these people to REPENT, to forsake their sin and confess it and make no provisions for the flesh to continue in sin, teaching them to walk in the Spirit so they don't full fill the lust of the flesh.

These people are being carnal minded, walking after the flesh, walking in corruption so while they are in this condition if they die they will go to hell not Heaven.

Telling people they will not reap corruption while they are in sin is mocking God according to Gal 6

Galatians 6:7-8 (see Gen 8:22)
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

Are you by chance a proponent of the "security in sin" doctrine that teaches one is still saved while they are living in sin? I hope not as that is a different "gospel" with a fake "jesus"

Yes the Lord Jesus did say in, Matthew 13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

Sadly the Churches which preach a false gospel message are full and those who preach the true gospel are near empty. There seems to be a great falling away taking place, many are either leaving the Church or only attending occasionally.

The Bible does confirm that born again Christians continue to sin for the rest of our lives. We don't sin willingly but temptation regularly overtakes us, but thanks be to the Lord Jesus, He has paid for all of our past, present and future sins.

This verse confirms that we will continue to sin for the rest of our lives, and it says that those who deny it have deceived themselves.
1 John 1:8, 10 "If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us... If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us".

Believers do repent and confess our sin everyday, but we can't stop sinning while we live in this body of death.
When a person is converted, it marks the begging of their journey to becoming Christlike. God works in our lives to transform us, but this is a life long work and it is not completed in this life. Believers will attain sinless perfection when we receive our glorified bodies, in the life to come.

Believers fight a war on three fronts simultaneously, 1. is our own sin nature (the old man). 2. The world,. And 3. The Devil. The Lord Jesus has already secured victory for His people, but the enemy is still raging against us and we don't inherit the final victory in this life.

There's a big difference between wrestling against the flesh and living in sin. Those who live in sin are not fighting temptation, they plan to sin and make every provision to feed their lust, regardless of costs or consequences.

No, that's the satanic "bible" that teaches that.
That'd be Anton LaVey, Aleister Crowley and other satanists

Real Christians put off the old man and put on the new man
It's called getting born again and Spirit filled. You should look in to it.

 

[HigherGospel]

So if the devil tempts you to molest little kids you'll eventually giver in to it?
Sounds like authorities in your area need to keep an eye on you.

You have a bright future as a politician, especially in the democrat party

At least most republicans wait till they become adults

 

[HigherGospel]

If we say we have no sin

Yes, if we say we have no sin ON OUR RECORD

All things are possible thru Christ (Philippians 4:13), so THRU JESUS we actually DO have the ability to stop sinning IF, IF we humble ourselves under His Mighty Hand (that's God's Word at God's Right Hand - Jesus Who is THE Christ)

1 Peter 5:6
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

1 John 3:6
Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not

1 John 2:4
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

1 John 1:6
if we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

1 John 2:1
I write these things unto you, that ye sin not

Galatians 5:16
Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh

James 4:17
Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

1 John 3:8
He that committeth sin is of the devil

John 8:34
Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.

1 Corinthians 15:34
Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

We should not be willingly or knowingly doing sinful things... it should be a very rare occasion for a Christian to sin and IF they did it would NOT be a situation where it's something they knew it was sinful and they decided to do it anyway.

1 John 1:8 is obviously speaking of if we claim we have never sinned... or if we make a mistake such as dropping something on the floor accidentally which is an imperfection that is not unto death (does not cause us to be separated from God like sin does)

The very next verse tells us if we confess our sins the Lord cleanses us of ALL unrighteousness... so is 1 John1:8 claiming 1 John1:9 is un-true???

 

[Dino246]

Yes, if we say we have no sin ON OUR RECORD

Typical false teacher… adding words to Scripture to justify their error while failing completely to consider the implications of those added words.

1 John 3:6
Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

1 John 5:18
We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

You have just admitted that you don't know the Lord and that you abide not In Him.

And you and the false teachers that brainwashed you claim only bits and paces of God's Word are true.

1 John 1:8 is obviously speaking of if we claim we have never sinned... The very next verse tells us if we confess our sins the Lord cleanses us of ALL unrighteousness...

So you and the tares that trained you claim 1 John1:9 is un-true

Then all the tares reject these bible verses claiming they are lies in true cherry picker fashion:

1 Corinthians 15:34
Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

1 John 2:1
My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not.

2 Peter 2:14,15
Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

Romans 6:1,2
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

Romans 11:22
Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

Romans 8:1
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Romans 8:6
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Romans 8:13,14
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

2 Timothy 2:21
If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.

1 John 1:7
But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.

Galatians 5:16
Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

Better luck next time there bub.

 

[Dino246]

You have just admitted that you don't know the Lord and that you abide not In Him.

Horse puckey. Your comments are despicable.

 

[HigherGospel]

Horse puckey. Your comments are despicable.

Sorry to hear I've offended your cherry pickin sensibilities!

Not really. It's really very hilarious that you claim to be knowledge about the things of the Lord and then demonstrate you don't accept all He says in His Word. Sad for you, but hilarious none the less.

You claim to be a sinner so according to 1 John 3:6 you are not abiding in the Lord and you reject 1 John 5:18 obviosly refusing to keep yourself from sin.

1 John 3:6
Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

1 John 5:18
We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

So WHY do you want to identify with sin so badly? Do you enjoy doing sinful behavior?

If not, then WHY not identify with the New Man scripture tells us to put on???

Ephesians 4:22-24
put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Romans 13:14
put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

Colossians 3:10
And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of Him that created Him:

It's odd that you refuse to accept all the Lord says in His Word.

It's time to step up and identify with being born again and put off the old man wouldn't you say?

 

[Brasspen]

As for the question of the thread!

"Keep dreaming."

 

[HigherGospel]

As for the question of the thread!

"Keep dreaming."

Yeah well the ecumenical movement is becoming more and more popular.

It is the prelude of the coming one world religion of the anti-christ where those who say Jesus is the only way to salvation will be in trouble.

Time to prepare to be REBELLIOUS.
Time to be like Jesus and rebel against all that is in rebellion against the Father

Most calming to be Christians sadly will cave and take the mark. They'll go along just to get along because they don't want to be "negative" or anything. They wanna be keepin it positive ya know

If any of that was true, then why was Gods favourite born again Christian (David) a murderer and adulterer.

Acts 13:22 "And when He had removed him, He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will"

Despite his sins, David was devoted to God and repented, focusing his life on God's will. There is no sin that God does not forgive born again believers, and there is not set number of sins where God draws the line and revokes salvation from a born again believer.

I can cite many passages of scripture to confirm this inconvenient truth, if need be.

The Apostle Paul is against you theory, he's on my side. He confirmed that his sinful nature rules him and he is powerless against it. So, at least I'm in good company.

Romans 7:18-19 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice.

Notice how brutally honest Paul is in admitting that he practices the evil that he doesn't want to. So yes our sin nature is more powerful than our will to do good.

You sound like a (saved by works) legalist.

It depends on what you're talking about. Baptist vs Wesleyan vs Pentecostal, you're saying because they're a denomination they're all going to hell? That all their doctrines are man made? I don't think so. Please explain if I have taken you wrong.

Salvation is the number one issue. Belief only, faith only, some sprinkle in repentance, some not, and most don't believe baptism is essential; and then there are those that think they can makeup their own rules as well as their own process of being saved, substituting other methods they call baptism but which aren't, like pouring, sprinkling, I even saw a true video of a so-called "priest" squirming and infant with a squirt gun as a method of baptism (of a non-believer too, an infant). Do you think in truth that God support all these things? I don't and scriptural history bears that out, that God does not bend to man and his ways.

Some say faith only, some say belief only, some add repentance, the majority don't think baptism is necessary, others have injected their own views and rules and have altered the process of salvation entirely by pouring water or sprinkling water, and even squirting water wirh a squirt gun on unbelieving person's, Infants, as a form of baptism. Do you really think God supports all this varied stuff?
