If there were more than one path to salvation then it would totally negate Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, his life, his teachings.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Some unifying principles bind all Christians: that God became a man and died for our sins, and that without that sacrifice, all of us would be doomed.
But when you take the Bible literally, for what it says, you have to come back to the fact that there is only one way of salvation; there's only one Savior.
There's only one effectively redemptive sacrifice, the sacrifice of self-will to make room for the knowledge of God.
There's no way to get around the fact that Jesus is the only way to Heaven, and He is so good that He exchanged His place in Heaven to come suffer on a cross for humanity and rose to set us free from eternal life in Hell.
There is only one Jesus; we can't live a sinless life like He did.
Part of my driving desire as a pastor is to remove every obstacle except the cross that would keep people from coming to faith in Christ.
Christianity affirms that Jesus severed the link between suffering and deserving once for all on Calvary. God put the ledgers away and settled the accounts.
The Savior warns that if we start along the path and go far enough and then fail and deny Him, it would have been better if we had never begun.
If one does away with the fact of the Resurrection, one also does away with the Cross, for both stand and fall together, and one would then have to find a new center for the whole message of the gospel.
I believe that there is no path other than the path of peace.
