I found this site called The Jesus TV. I watched on this site, a program that was broadcast on Oprah. It was discussing, as Oprah said: "Many ways to God."
I disagree with one thing that she said wholeheartedly. She stated that there are many ways to what each one of us may see as God, be it called the light, God, or whatever. Oprah apparently believes that there couldn't possibly be one way to God.
I disagree. If the Bible says that there is one way to the father through Jesus Christ the son, then that is it. There is no other way.
One of the women in the audience was talking about how Jesus won't come back until the gospel is preached in all four corners of the world is absolutely correct, according to the scripture.
What was she thinking? How can she be a woman of God, and say that there are many ways to the Father? I understand what she is talking about in regards to those that haven't heard of the Bible in lands unexplored, God knows what is in your heart. Like one woman in the audience said. The thing is that God will wink at ignorance, but for those who have knowledge at their fingertips, then how can you honestly say that there is more than one way to God? With all the resources to investigate the Bible, the written word of God, How can you plead ignorance??
Reader, I beg of you. Read the scriptures for yourself.
In the KJV Bible, John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
How can this mean that there are more than one path???

you are presenting the traditional evangelical Christian perspective of salvation--that the saved must know of and believe in the divinity of Christ.
The Bible says that Christ was slain from the foundation of the world, and in that sense all who have ever lived and loved will be saved by Him. Think of all those who have ever lived--would God destory them because they were born in the wrong place at the wrong time? It doesn't make sense; yet it can if Christ's sacrafice is retroactive and broader.
At the same time the majority who have heard of Christ have not understood Christ or God because the lives of Christians have denied Him. Would you really want to investigate a religion like that being presented as Christianity today or in the dark ages? No, I think that time has not come for a rational decision to be made by Oprah or anyone else in the secular world. There isn't enough evidence out there. Love covers a multitude of sins, and that is the key to salvation. Other religions may have elements of truth, but they don't have the Truth and cannot save in themselves, but Christ can save individuals. He is the only way of salvation, but not in the sense we generally teach it.
This is my belief.
