Mahatma Gandhi once said, "The various religions are like different roads converging on the same point. What difference does it make if we follow different routes, provided we arrive at the same destination." I find it interesting to note that he qualified his statement by concluding, "provided we arrive at the same destination". That seems like an enormous proviso. What if one's religion doesn't get them where they want to go, namely to be with God in heaven? It's a little late at that point to get on a different road.
I guess I would rather place my proviso on the One who had been there all ready, and had come to guide us there. 1 John 4:14 says, "We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world. Whoever confesses Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God." Jesus, the risen Christ, said of Himself, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." (John 14:6)
