Do All Paths Lead to Jesus?

It's hardly surprising that if you confine yourself to the Bible, then yes, all paths lead to Christ.

This is not exactly the same as saying that ALL paths lead to Christ. Clearly, some paths lead elsewhere. This is why humans should develop discernment.

On a side note, just because there is only one route to god, doesn’t mean all the other routes lead to burning in hell for eternity.

Just clearing that up in case anyone was wondering.

Does the New Testament describe a hell where one burns forever?

If yes, will you discard those verses?

Meaning, are there parts of the Bible that you believe can NOT be true?

Tom edited the OP from “jesus” to “god”.

The bible is pretty clear I think ;
The law brings us to Christ, Christ brings us to god (himself**)

**god was in Christ reconciling himself .... etc .

I’m NOT sure it says exactly that but it does talk about beings being thrown into a lake of fire. It also mentions whores riding seven headed beasts with ten horns and drinking human blood from a cup.

Quite evocative stuff

Now you’re creating a straw man argument.

I believe the entire bible is “true” (whatever that means within this context), I just don’t believe it’s all literal and it certainly doesn’t mean what some people like to think it means.

Fair enough.
Straw man was not intentional.

Interpretation is the key factor.

I believe this statement is true. Am I right or wrong and why?

Tom, you’ve edited the OP to read “God” but not the thread title...

I can't edit the title, can I?

Well anyway.

The bible says all paths lead to God. Think about it. 🙂

I tried. Wouldn't let me edit the title, only the comment.

Which brings me back to my first post asking you for a citation.

You really need to buck up with this sort of thing Tom.

Oh, wait. No. This would have been true about 16 minutes ago

All righteousness leads to Christ.
Some paths are evil and lead to dzmnation
