Author	Thread: The Revelation of : 'My Way is the Only Way'
Admin	The Revelation of : 'My Way is the Only Way' Posted : 10 Apr, 2011 10:02 AM What does it reveal when a person says or has the attitude 'My way is the only way'. The Catholics, Calvinists, Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses, and the Muslims say you are at risk of going to hell if you don't believe as them, with the exception on the Muslims, they will do their best to send you to hell. Now a observant reader might say, 'Hey, hold on, don't we who profess Jesus as the only way do the same thing?'....Did Jesus say "My way is the only way"?...No. Jesus said 'I AM the way'....No one comes to the Father except through me. Therefore it is important that we preach Jesus, not doctrine; my way isn't the way, Jesus IS the way. This is where the world sees its chance to be more Godly than God by being fair, equal and tolerant to all by professing there are many paths to God. To this I must agree, however every path to God goes through Jesus. So to answer the question: What does it reveal when a person says 'My way is the only way'? To me it reveals they are not focused on Jesus who said "I AM the way" What does it reveal to you? Or, other comments and things I left out? Additions, corrections, insults?....lol Post Reply

Is "born-again" and "saved" the same thing in these extremist' way of believing? The reason I ask is, there are a whole bunch of verses [including Jesus] that say "believe" and you will be "saved". Not be saved and you will believe. Post Reply

Most would have you believe that you are not His sheep because you do not believe. His sheep hear His voice and respond in faith, however those who are not His sheep never respond in faith.

At one time we were all unbelievers, therefore, according to this verse we couldn't be His sheep because we believed not, so we can't be His sheep before being His sheep. Post Reply

John 10:11 Who were the Sheep Jesus died for?" Sinners. We become "His" sheep when we believe. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. -Isaiah 53:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. -Matthew 10:6-7 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, [and] one shepherd. -John 10:16 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. -Matthew 15:24 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. -John 10:7-9 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed [himself] to him that judgeth righteously: Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.-1 Peter 2:23-25 Post Reply

View Profile History	The Revelation of : 'My Way is the Only Way' Posted : 10 Apr, 2011 04:51 PM Ok, normally, I would not be getting involved in this debate about Calvinist/ Non-Calvinist. But I am curious how James, Lsu, Sparrows, and PJ all say what the following verse means, and of course anyone else who wants to comment: 2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance."
