#1. No true, biblical Christian would say there's more than one way to God. It's through Jesus and Him only. John 14:6 "Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

#2. The Bible says in the last days people will turn away from the truth and towards false teachers and false prophets so they can hear what they want to hear... that includes some "Christians" who have let themselves be deceived.

What you've shown is another sign of the end times.

I would say that this is a sign that people are starting to use their minds and think for themselves and that maybe there will come a time when we can all come together as one people, tolerant of all beliefs or non-beliefs and then maybe there will be peace and harmony in this world. Just my humble opinion.

Amen, brother [or sister]!

Couldn't have said it better myself. Do these "christians" understand or believe the words of the One they profess to follow?

A quote from GK Chesterton..."If there is no GOD, there would be no atheists". Think about it.

There is no way we can all come together as one until and unless we are all of one mind, and that mind is in accordance with God's word and will.

And there is the reason why it will never happen. It is that kind of narrowminded thinking that will never be tolerant of anything that you will never believe in. You're incapable of believing the fact that there are other religions out there just as sacred as your own, however you are becoming a minority in that thinking. You will never have respect for them and because of that they will never have respect for you and that is why there is continued strife in this world, because of such narrowminded thinking. Just my opinion and observance.

I am just as 'narrowminded' as the Lord and Savior that I believe in !!!

I hope I will always remain so....

A biblical Christian is not concerned with the respect or reputation we receive from people outside the faith. Those are not the things we seek after. We seek to please the Father. Period.

And yes, we are becoming a minority in these last days. The Bible warns us that we will. It warns us that we will be hated, persecuted and even put to death. Yet, we still carry on believing, regardless the price, because we know He's real. Do you think Christians would give their lives for a lie or for pretty poetry?

The hypocrisy of the world is that all faiths are supposed to be of equal merit and all are tolerated... except Christianity. (Just as the Bible predicted.)

Thanks, and it's brother. I'm a huge GK Chesterton fan and I've never heard that quote of his. I like it. A lot.

I can turn this around and say that, "If there is no Tinkerbell, then there would be no nonbelievers in Tinkerbell." Tinkerbell must exist since her existence is adamantly refuted.
