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.
According to the bible, all paths lead to God. That is, everyone will get to God in the afterlife. What happens after that.. well.. I guess that depends. Will we remain with God? Or will we depart from Him.
I know, I know. Throw veggies at me and boo me off the stage. I deserve it. 😛

Tom I think you were right after all.

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.
Rom 14:11
for it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.”

But the Romans one is one I do like but not for the reason of supporting the premise in your OP.

Originally posted by @divegeesterActually the first one is better than the second because it portrays a one-on-one, face to face meeting. The second one could be argued as a simple gesture of submission.

Originally posted by @divegeesterSure it does. It doesn't matter what path we take in life, we will end up in the presence of God. Right? Now, that presence could be brief, with an unfavorable end result. But still...

And to think I’ve given serious effort to this thread.

Originally posted by @divegeesterWell, it's probably more meaningful to me or to Americans than to you. Here, there a plethora of New Age types that preach the idea 'all paths lead to God.' It's influenced by Eastern philosophy which New Agers love. Where you are, maybe you don't hear it much. I've heard it a bunch in my years on facebook, but this place is rather secluded--shielded from much of what goes on out there since the forum posters here are mostly intellectuals (chess players).

It's an ironic twist I like to use when someone says it. When I say, yes I agree, they scratch their heads. "What? But you're a Christian!" And then I explain. Which tends to piss them off. 😛
