Biblical illiteracy ... plain and simple ...
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.
If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also;
if they claim to have ‘found another way’- then they aren’t Christians- period
The Church is not the vehicle that brings souls to Christ. It is the Holy Spirit working in the world that creates followers.
Christ does not depend on human institutions for the salvation of the world. They are a stumbling block to salvation. Membership in a church is not a ticket to heaven.
Is Christ the only means of salvation? Ask God. He will tell you.
“You believe in one God? You do well; the devils believe also, and tremble.”
Marxism is applied Christian social doctrine minus a belief in the divinity of Christ. This black preacher, who has completely sold his soul to the godless Democratic Party, no doubt puts Marx, Lenin, Stalin and Mao in his pantheon. Eventually the black community will realize why the well fed, prosperous “religious leaders” live so well but allow the abortion clinics to be situated in their neighborhoods and why their kids are herded into horrible, union controlled public schools.
Jesus says, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father but through Me.” And, “He who believes and is baptized will be saved. He who does not believe shall be condemned.”
The preachers who teach that there are other ways to be saved are false prophets leading their followers to Hell. On Judgment Day, Jesus will say, “I never knew you. Depart from Me.” It’s all in the Bible, which is God’s Word to mankind explaining His gracious plan of salvation.
......The strongest supporters of God as described in the Bible were Christians who self-identified as members of historically black Protestant churches at 92 percent, followed closely by evangelicals at 91 percent.....Significant minorities of Christians who identified as Catholics, 28 percent, and mainline Protestants, 26 percent, indicated that they believe in a higher power or spiritual force which is not God as described in the Bible.....
As usual, they did not survey Orthodox Christians, especially Orthodox Christians in “good standing”!!!!
“And so the key is you believe in God. And whatever your path is to God I celebrate that. Personally, I celebrate that,” Walrond said.
The company he keeps are the demons that believe and tremble, but have no salvation in it.
He is celebrating being outside the Kingdom of God.
**Walrond, who was named “One of the Lord’s Foot Soldiers” by Newsweek magazine, told his congregants that the belief that anyone who doesn’t believe in Jesus is going to hell is “insanity.”**
But Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life.”
“I am the gatekeeper.”
“I am the Good Shepherd. My sheep know me and I know them.”
If Jesus is not the only way, then they’re not Christians.
I’ve an AA and another year college. Retired. Noahide.
Raised Christian, yet am agnostic of the New Testament which I do however, know well, and believe, OTOH, the US could not have been founded without it.
Am impressed with Jesus method of prayer, the “Our Father”, which was modeled on the Amidah, a longer Jewish formulation. Also fond of his frequent, life long referrals to The Law of Moses.
Yeshua clearly said he was and is the only path to salvation. Any who denies it denies what Yeshua said.
None of this is new. I believe what we are seeing is the product of lifelong prosperity. A world where for the most part faith in God feels unnecessary.
I think many people do not want a strict God who they are accountable to. This can be accomplished by either believing science has disproved God…..or creating a new type of God that doesn’t demand anything from them.
Furthermore:
“Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you” (Jn 6:53).
No one gets to the Father except through me . Guess who? Satan plays everyone ....look at the Vatican and its upper people and the babble they spew!
That title is a logic fallacy the size of the Milky Way galaxy.
False prophets face a terrible judgement, “pastor.”
