Dear Mark; I hope you don't think me rude but I would like to make a point about your question. Many believe that all religions point to G-d. This can cause many problems. First, while many religions have some elements of truth, and agreement, they also contradict each other in many significant ways. For example the idea of a jihad or holy war in Islam as opposed to Love your Enemy, as Yeshua taught. Also by making all religion equally correct, it has the effect of rendering all of them as myths. Stories about ideas about G-d not to be taken literally, but human ideas to teach a particular cultures values. Only Christ claimed to be G-d the creator, and proved this fact through his resurrection. The appeal in the book of Acts is to ask the over 500 witnesses who saw him alive after crucifixion. I suppose I am babbling now so I will stop, but IMHO no other religion makes the historical claims of Christianity, or is as consistently accurate in its teaching. Yeshua be with you; Love to All - DLL PS In the garden, Yeshua prayed to G-d if there were any other way to let the cup pass from him. As an undisputed man of G-d, the fact that G-d did not take it away suggests to me that there is no other way.

Mark, Hope you don't mind me butting in. Let me ask you something. If all religion is the same, and it matters not what we do in worship and service to the Lord, why do we have examples? Here is just one. Why did we have teachers such as Aquilla and Pricilla that took another man aside to teach him "more adequately"??(Acts 18:24-28) Mark, God ,in different languages has many names. But He is still God. And as he sent His Son to die for you, why would you reject Him? Many men came and went and will come and go with many nice "words" but they are just that;"words". God SHOWED with actions what saving grace is by the sacrifice of His Son and when the Christ said "It is finished" HE MEANT IT. I know you have seen this before, but BY NO OTHER NAME CAN YOU BE SAVED. God has given Christ a name above ALL names. And He speaks for you. dcf

mark, Yes God (the one true God, Creator of the universe and everything in it) does care what way you come to Him by. We know this because He has told us in His word. He has established Jesus as the only way anyone will come to the Father. Their is no other name by which men can be saved. God has established the way. Now the devil has manufactured dozens, even hundreds of counterfeit ways to distract as many as possible from God's established way and when the devil succeeds in hooking people with the counterfeit he takes another soul into oblivion for eternity with him. Even if we intend all our lives to do good our righteousness is as filthy rags compared to God. We cannot approach Him under our own power. So He overcame that problem by making Jesus our covering and we become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus and then can approach God because of Jesus. Bob
