Is God's Word Really sufficient ?

[Sue D.]

John 14:6 Jesus Christ is telling 'us' that "I am the way , the truth, and the life, no man comes to the Father but by Me."

What does That Really mean?

Oprah Winfrey once said "there are many ways to God".
Some people believe anyone who has a theism believes in the "same" God.

I disagree. This will sound harsh, but it's the truth.
Any other religion... is of Satan. Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Ba'Hai, Wicca, Shamanism, Zorostism, are all of Satan. There are thousands of religions in the world today. None of these will get you into heaven.
Even amongst "Christian" religions we don't all believe in the same God and same Jesus. But there is really one ONE "true" Jesus. (He warned of "false Christs").
(Jehovah's witnesses, Mormons, Unitarians, Antimonians, etc...)
Any other "way" (religion) is the wrong way. Jesus IS... the ONLY way. Period.

Acts 4:12; "And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved."

 

[Dave M]

Well since Jesus is also the word its best we learn the word live the word and obey the word. And dont let no man claim authority on spiritual matters only the word has all authority

 

[Sue D.]

There are many belief systems 'out there' -- big and powerful belief systems that give a person authority that isn't Biblical.

Jesus Christ being The Cornerstone of Christianity. No good works of any kind are needed for our salvation.

We can go directly to God through Jesus Christ for forgiveness.

And there are those who will take The Bible + the teachings of their church fathers and form teachings that are not found in Scripture. So the question CAN be -- do 'we' follow the teachings of the church fathers? or God's Word.

People come From all places -- geographical locations -- belief systems -- and To God. And to His Way. Where are we placing our faith? In the blood of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ being the Son of God. His virgin birth, death, burial and bodily resurrection.

Yes, absolutely.

What does God's Word say about baptism?

 

[Sue D.]

Bible / God's Word only tells of adults being baptized by immersion. People who have been old enough to understand and either accept or reject. Those who accept are to show publically that which has already taken place in their heart.

So what you're saying is that 8.5 million JW's plus millions of others who reject the Trinity - to include myself - believe in a different God and different Jesus than Trinitarians? What if it's trinitarians that believe in a God and a Jesus that's unbiblical?

If there was such a thing as a co-equal trinity it would have been accurately described by Christ and his apostles.

I suggest you stop accusing non-trinitarians of believing in a different God and a different Jesus. You have no clue what you're doing.

Religion is man's attempt to reach God

Christianity is God's attempt to reach man.

Religion is always following rules to be good to gain a way to heaven

Christianity is God reaching out to man, by coming into the world, born of Mary, and by dying on the cross and shedding His Blood for OUR Sins

There is only one way to heaven, we cannot work for it or do good deeds to get merits to get there (as in religions) we only have to come to the Cross, to the Blood of Christ, repent and ask Jesus into our hearts, saying it with our lips and believing in our hearts

There are many ways to come to Jesus, but there is only one way to get to heaven.

Matthew 19:25-26 (KJV)
25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Acts 4:12 (KJV)
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

John 14:6 (KJV)
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Romans 10:9-13 (KJV)
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

It all depends on what you say is the "Word" of God is. Jesus is the "Word" of God (singular), but he is NOT the "words" of God (plural)
Scripture contains the "words" of God. Jesus is not the Bible nor is he scripture! Jesus said.....

John 5:39 “You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me! (NLT)

Knowing what the Bible says is NOT knowing the truth as the truth is a person! You can not know the truth by knowing scriptures, but it is an absolute "requirement" before learning the truth because all scripture points us to Jesus who is the truth!

I guess you could say there are many "roads" that all lead to the same place, but that one place is Hell!!

1Co 8:5 For although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth—as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”—
1Co 8:6 yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.

But for the believer, there is only one God and only one road that leads to the reality of eternal life.
