Do All Religions Lead to God?

Crosstalk America from VCY America

The most important issue of all time concerns your eternal destiny. You can be the most conservative, pro-life, pro-Israel person in the world, but if you get it wrong on eternity, you're forever doomed. --This edition of Crosstalk looked at this issue because last week, Pope Francis addressed an inter-religious meeting of young people from different faiths at Singapore's Catholic Junior College. He told them that every religion is a way to arrive at God. However, what does the Bible say on this issue and what carries more authority-- Is it the Pope or the Word of God-- --Returning to Crosstalk to discuss this topic was Mike Gendron. Mike is the founder and director of Proclaiming the Gospel Ministry. Mike was a devout Roman Catholic for over 3 decades and was taught to rely upon the authority of the church above all else. Mike searched the Scriptures and was amazed to find that what he read in Scripture contradicted the teaching and tradition of the church he had been a part of for so long. He trusted Jesus as his Savior and now the Bible has become his sole authority in all matters of faith. --Responding to the Pope's words in Singapore, Mike began by noting that the Pope had a wonderful opportunity to proclaim the Gospel and Jesus who said that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life and that no one comes to the Father except through Him. It's this Christ that is the way for those who are lost and deceived. Instead, the Pope chose to be so tolerant that he wants to be all things to all people while denying the words of our blood stained Savior.--Review this Crosstalk to hear much more, including viewpoints and questions from listeners.
