Do you think that there are multiple paths to heaven? If so, why is this the logical position to have?

If you do believe in multiple paths, what do you think makes your view worth keeping with the possibility that you may be wrong? Can you logically support your stance?

If you don't believe in multiple paths, what is it that makes you certain that you've found the correct path? Why should others follow the path you've found.

    Matt 7:13&14 niv

    The Narrow and Wide Gates

    13"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

    I do NOT believe in multiple paths for one reason; it's a cheap cop-out for those that only want to half-*** believe in God, and only half-*** live a good life.

    This is what is wrong with the Church today. You can not choose or opt in for the "way" you think will get you into heaven.

    Anyone that believes this is only fooling themselves, and denying their soul an eternity in heaven.

    It's like saying cheating is ok as long as you don't get caught. Please, God is not as stupid as you are to think he will believe such craziness.

    But, I have found the correct path, and it is Jesus, as he lived as a man, was crucified as a man, and then he arose as a God, so that not only me, but anyone that believes in him, will have life in heaven along side him and his father.

    It's not that difficult, yet like most, the easiest answer is often the most over looked...

    Stop your disillusioned thinking, as with that, you must also have reasoning that says stealing is only stealing if you get caught? Or it's ok to lust if only if just in your mind? The bible says you are wrong, and if you will just read it, you will also see it and not take my word for it.

    Hope this helps,

    it is written jesus(who's Great) said in my house are many mansions.he also has a prepared place for those who believe. i'll just go by the commandments and i can also just read the bible which is another way that i found out about him in the first place. there's people that learn things about the bible later on than others and it seems like a different path to me.

    I don't think that heaven is a logical concept since we have nothing more than anecdotal evidence to go on. Not that belief systems always need or rely on logic. It's not like we're making any laws or decisions regarding people's beliefs on the afterlife.

    Bible: there are many mansions.

    The law of karma implies that God is not a judge but that one goes to the realm of afterlife that best reflects ones karmic predelictions. Naturally there a heavens for many faiths that are insular.

    There are also many purgatorial realms which suit the karma of the person.

    For those who deny God or integrity and spiritual principles there are nasty astral or hell realms.

    The limitations on heaven and hell are cultural, because so few people have compared cultures about them.

    Also, Near Death Experiences provide powerful evidence to these facts.

    Peace.

    There are multiple paths to Jesus but He said "I am the way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father apart from me".

    There has been a lot of rubbish written by men about how to get in heaven.

    What has never been proven is the existence of it.

    Yes, I think it's logical that actions are more important than beliefs.

    Multiple paths, but not multiple religions.
