The "one way to heaven" doctrine is wrong

1. Ezekiel 3:18 and 33:6 both say that the unwarned men will die in their iniquity. Thank you for further proving my point. Whether or not Christians are to blame doesn’t matter in this debate; only that there is one way to Heaven, whether or not someone knows it. 2. God clearly establishes a new covenant. This is not Him changing His mind; He first mentions sending Jesus in Genesis 3:16. Hebrews 8:6 “But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.” God removed the old system of animal sacrifice for atonement and replaced it with Jesus, the perfect sacrifice. You still cannot, and will never, refute Jesus statement “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me”. I do not believe that it is beyond God’s capacity to save the lost. He sent Jesus. 3. God wants all to be saved. However, all have sinned and fallen short. No man is without excuse. He is a holy, perfect God. Psalm 5:5-6 says that He hates those who are wicked. “The arrogant cannot stand in your presence. You hate all who do wrong; you destroy those who tell lies. The bloodthirsty and deceitful you, Lord, detest.” He loves His creation. However, He cannot abide sin. That is why, out of love, He sent Jesus, our Redeemer - so that he could be our only way to Heaven, that we may be saved through faith (John 3:16, Romans 10:9, John 20:21, John 11:25-26, John 14:5-6, Acts 4:12, Ephesians 2:5-9, John 15:3-6). I have already provided all of those verses, so scroll up if you “missed that part of the bible” again. No purpose of God can be thwarted. His desire is that all should come to repentance. His purpose is not that all should enter Heaven, whether or not they repented. Would you not agree that God also desired that Adam and Eve would never sin? Yet they ate the fruit. 4. God provided a way for forgiveness in the OT. This is true. Then he sent Jesus, as the fulfilment of the law. Matthew 5:17 “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.” You said it yourself, God can do anything. This means that He can, and did, amend the ways He provides. He did this by sending Jesus - the Way. That does not mean that He did so again, and simply lets everyone into Heaven. 5. Leviticus 2 just says that someone can offer grain to the Lord. It does not say that it will atone for sins - moreover, Christ fulfilled the law, so that we don’t need to sacrifice our firstborn lambs. Your argument for giving wheat equaling salvation is highly illogical and unbiblical. You connect two random verses, give them both meanings that do not exist, then come to a conclusion based on your imaginary meanings. 6. You say, “The name of Jesus cannot save you. It is just a name.” This… is… what? Have you been reading this debate? Or the Bible? Acts 4:12. Scroll up. Also Philippians 2:9-11: “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” You then say that somehow, it follows logically that Sikhists are saved. I do not what this logic is following from, except for you completely ignoring all the scriptures I have provided. It does not even matter, because your argument for them being saved is that they believe in the son of God - who is the only way to Heaven. 7. It is not simply “knowing” God that saves you. John 3:16 specifically says ‘believes’. The demons know Jesus. They are not saved. I already refuted your interpretation of 1st John. Because God loves us and sent Jesus, we should love one another. If we do this, then God dwells in us. Those who do not know God or Jesus cannot love one another based on God’s love for them. 1st John 4:9-12 "In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us." Summary Once again, all my arguments remain. You said nothing about Jesus being the vine, and anyone who is not part of the vine is cut out. You did not address Jesus being the Way. You did not address the grace by faith argument. A litany of verses stand against you. I already quoted most of them, but I’ll note them again. John 14:5-6, Acts 4:10-12, Ephesians 2:5-9, John 15:3-6, Romans 10:9, John 20:21, John 11:25-26, John 3:16.
