Read: Isaiah 43:7-13 NLT – Bring all who claim me as their God, – Bible Gateway
“I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them away from me, for my Father has given them to me, and he is more powerful than anyone else. No one can snatch them from the Father’s hand. The Father and I are one.” John 10:28-30 NLT

Believe it or not, there are approximately 4,000 religions in the world. Common sense tells us they all can’t be right. Although there are many religions there are five that are the most prominent. Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism share roughly 80% of the world’s total religions. Again, they all can’t be right. Adhering to anyone of these in total faith and commitment cancels out all the others. You cannot be accepting to all these for the same reason. It doesn’t work. You may think it is inclusion and right for this world, but what about the next one when this life is over. You may be familiar with the ‘coexist’ image. ‘Coexist’ is meant to bring people together through the major religions that we may live in peace in this world. We all know it is not working. ‘Coexist’ is not the way to peace and salvation in this world and certainly not in eternity.
The Hebrew God said in Isaiah, ‘“But you are my witnesses, O Israel!’ says the LORD. ‘You are my servant. You have been chosen to know me, believe in me, and understand that I alone am God. There is no other God—there never has been, and there never will be.’” (Is.43:10 nlt) This same Hebrew God sent His Son Jesus Christ as the Messiah to be the savior of the world both to the Jews and to all who accept Christ in repentance for their sins. Jesus Himself said, “The Father and I are one.” (Jn.10:30 nlt) God the Father says, “I, yes I, am the LORD, and there is no other Savior.” (Is.43:11 nlt) Coexist does not exist, it’s One God, One Savior.
Faith is the important one, not the religion, in my perspective. Whether you are a Muslim, Christian, or whatever, we only have one God. Amen, Loring.

Please consider this Hazel. Jesus said, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’ John 14:6. If there are other ways to God then Jesus is not speaking the truth. What does that say about Jesus?

I respect your point, Loring. I won’t condemn other religions. Still, they’re good.

I understand your position, but I’m not asking you to condemn, but to consider.

Wow. 4,000? I knew there were a lot, but no way did I think it was that many. Thanks for giving me food for thought, Loring. Keep up the good fight!
