Bible Questions Answered:
“...I believe that there are many different ways to God...”
Eric/ Dayton, Ohio U.S.A.
Bible Answer.
We live in a day, when many have the idea that the way they choose, will be the way to God.
There will be a sad awakening, one day. The worst part of all this, is there have been religious leaders of some prominence who have espoused this very same thing. Saying that whoever you are believing whatever you wish, you will be bound for heaven.
The last time I read the book, heaven a very real place, was the home of God the father, His Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. To get to heaven, is not by fanciful wishing or by mere happenstance.
The Word of God:
John 3:14-18 KJV
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the Only Begotten Son of God.

10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by Him doth this man stand here before you whole.
11 This is the Stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the Head of the Corner.
