Jesus Isn't Only Way to God

Some have no measure at all of the gift of discernment. It would get in the way of their worldy view.:tonofbricks:

Trying to make the Gospel conform to their lives instead of the reverse is the preferred method.

 

And what would Jesus do? Make a childish little picture in MS Paint? Yes, I'm certain that's in the Gospels.

No, she didn't.

 

Humans have devised all kinds of ways to satisfy their own intellect and reason in terms of the experience of salvation. Grace is a hard concept to understand, the fact that the God of the universe would literally sacrifice himself, in the form of his Son, and then would extend not only eternity, but abundant living in this life as well, to those who simply surrender themselves and allow themselves to receive it doesn't reflect the values of any human culture.

This bishop's view is the opposite extreme from those who believe that you've got to get it all right doctrinally in order to be pure enough to be saved. That's heresy, too.

 

I would like to point out a discrepancy here...

Anyone who believes in the so-called "age of accountability" believes in another way to heaven. If a child is born with the curse of Adam, they are guilty. They have not accepted Jesus as a baby, but are still given a pass, that is a second way. Is that heretical?

 

Tragic, here's the problem:

If Jesus is not the only way to God, then His life, death, burial, and resurrection was unneccessary...because there was another way. If there was another way, why in the world would God have chosen this one?

If the Cross, and the Resurrection become unneccessary, the entire body of faith on which Christians stake their lives becomes a flimsy house of cards.

I would vehemently assert that if one says, "Christ is not the only way to God," then one is denying Christ. Why? Because Christ, by his own statement in John, becomes a lunatic and/or a liar. If He says, "I am THE way," and He is only "one" way, then Jesus is either a liar, or He's nuts.

My vote is (and not that God needs it but I'll say it with all I have) that the Incarnate God meant what He said...and He was right.

And this minister that has it so very wrong will one day get it right. We all will. It's my prayer that she can confess Jesus as Lord as she worships with others in Heaven. If she doesn't do it there, she will confess Jesus as the only way...but it will not be a pleasant occasion for her.

 

This "woman" seems to be stacking up ways to defy scripture.

• She has no scriptural basis for being a bishop
• She has no scriptural basis for her butch haircut
• She has no scriptural basis for consenting to the election of the sodomite Gene Robinson
• And she has no scriptural basis for calling Jesus Christ a "she"..."Our mother Jesus gives birth to a new creation," - Katherine Jefferts Schori (Source: Katharine Jefferts Schori)

It should not come as a surprise when she denies the deity of Jesus Christ as she seems to make it a habit to deny everything else He says.

 

I absolutely refuse to read the OP because I do not want to fill my mind with blasphemy. Garbage in, garbage out, IMO.

That being said,

Amen, and I believe that if Paul had MS Paint, he would have done it...
She is a heretic.
And all that follow her will be burning in Hell.

Jesus is the only way. Period...
Or why would we spend millions on missions?

 

You know your problem? You beat around the bush and don't say what you really think.










:laugh: :laugh:

 

Interesting thought. Since belief in Christ is an intellectual assent, of sorts, does that mean anyone who dies before coming to the ability to understand salvation is predestined for destruction?

I'd say, on that basis, dispensationalism is heretical, too, since Jews who make it to the final dispensation and are around when Christ returns are given a pass on his first coming, which was when God made the blood sacrifice of atonement.

 

???? Please start other threads if you want to debate these two issues. They do not pertain to this topic, and you will find some (including me) who highly disagree with your two statements.
