Do all religious roads lead to life? Or is there only one narrow way??
One cannot have the terms
"all lead to god" and "but the path is narrow"
One can and I have quoted examples to clarify this.
Religions are based on the teaching of the masters or enlightened ones who have crossed over and merged with god.
They all show you the path and all religions are equal and one pointed concentration is required to merge with god.
Son I am here to show humanity the path including you.
These path have already been made by great masters or engineers of the spirit.Mohit - this guy obviously started this thread so he could enjoy informing everyone that only christians are saved. I bet if you dig a little deeper, you'd find his 'christians' would not include Catholics, Anglicans, Orthodox, etc. In fact, I suspect his 'narrow road' only has room enough for one! I hope he's skinny enough to squeeze through the bars when he reaches a locked gate
I failed, using reason. You try using light
Messiah Yahshua (Jesus) was NOT "just a prophet"...He Is God and nobody else can stand in His Presence and proclaim otherwise.
You never answered the question.
Did any of "the other masters" die for your sins or NOT?I said yes some master like the Sikh saints were chopped in half by a saw when alive.
It is destined by god some will be killed and some will die a natural death.
"Why have you forsaken me" Jesus
He didn't want to be crucified but didn't have a choice.It was not like he was okay let me get crucified on purpose and wash away the sins of my followers, it was beyond his control.
GURU ARJAN
In 1606, Emperor Jehangir, the Muslim ruler of India, summoned the Guru to his court on the charge of blessing a rebellious relative of the Emperor's. Upon the Guru's refusal to embrace Islam to escape death, the fifth prophet of the Sikh religion was subject to inhumane torture and killed.
GURU TEGH BAHADUR-9th Sikh Prophet
When the Guru was imprisoned at the request of Aurangzeb in 1675, despite being forced to watch the torture and execution of two disciples, the Guru simply refused to concede to the Emperor's demand. Finally, the Guru was ordered to get beheaded. Unparalleled in the history of humankind, the martyrdom of Guru Teg Bahadur was an act of sacrifice for another religious community. The Guru's martyrdom served to awaken the collective conscience of the Sikh community, which was about to undergo a final transformation in the years to follow.
Zarathustra was jailed for fourteen years and the emperor could have easily beheaded or killed him but that was not his destiny.
The enlightened one knows this world is full of lunatics and fanatics and that he can be killed at any time once he starts walking his path.
Right you are, religion does NOT save you, that is why I asked...
"Or is there only one narrow way??"
Because I believe that Only One Way is Messiah Jesus, none other.
I have attained enlightenment or merged with god and so have many people who were not Christians.
Its clear to me you have not come across god yourself.

Is Krishna also Christ?
The Master seemed delighted as he started instructing Chester. "In the Bhagavad-Gita, we learn that Krishna created everything and sustains all things by his glory. Chapter 9 teaches that the entire material universe is created, prevaded, maintained and sustained by him. In Chapter 10 we learn that he is the source of everthing and that all existence is because of Lord Krishna. '... I am the seed of all creatures; nothing animate or inanimate could exist without me.'
In John 1 of the Christian New Testament we are taught that 'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.... And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth .... grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.'
We also learn in the Bhagavad-Gita that total devotion to Krishna will allow man to achieve eternal life and never know death again.
In the New Testament we learn that Christ is the the only way. '...that whosoever believeth in Christ should not perish, but have everlasting life.'
What does your logic tell you about this paradox?" The Master waited.
Chester licked his lips. "Here are two different religions revealing to us the creator of all things who, is also the way to achieve eternal life. Either one is a fraud or both are the same holy manifestation recorded at different times from two different cultural and historical viewpoints. The logic is clear and simple."
The Master announced, "The Krishna of Ancient Hinduism is the Christ of Christianity. Christ comes from the Greek word Christos, and Christos is the Greek version of the word Krishna. When an Indian person calls on Krishna, he often says "Krista." Krishna is a Sanskrit word meaning the object of attraction." So when we address God as "Christ," "Krista," or "Krishna," we indicate the same all-attractive Supreme Personality of Godhead. When Jesus said, "Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name," that name of God was Krista or Krishna. "Christ" is simply another way of saying "Krista," and "Krista" is another way of pronouncing Krishna."
My name is Mohit.k.Misra, Mohit meaning the enlightened one another name for Krishna.
Misra the name given to the enlightened ones who settled on the river Ganges long before Jesus was here on this planet.
I already know the light within
Nice
Ah quietnessandtrust.
Glad to see you back.
I'd like to suggest a name change.
Perhaps BellowingAndUntruth may be more appropriate.
