Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me."John 14:6
We hear so much drivel these days about the compatibility of all gods; that any god will get you to a good place at the end... that all gods lead to the same place.
This is patently and logically wrong. As noted thinker J.W. Montgomery states in his intense book retort (Tractatus Logico-Theologicus) to Wittgenstein: "The characteristic most fully shared by the religions of the world is their incompatibility with each other." This clearly if true refutes the prevailing belief today in pluralism, that there are many paths to the truth, not just one.
It is also Biblically wrong, since it clearly throughout presents the truth that there is only one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Because the Bible presents the problem of all humanity as sin, the law, devil and death, these truths dictate a divine and miraculous solution. It is given so magnificently in the sacrificial life, death and resurrection of Jesus for all mankind. "There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved." Acts 4:12
Either Jesus came to this earth to be this solution or He did not. The evidence in the Bible and history bears this out, as does well done logic put forward by such as Montgomery to substantiate this. Which other god has ever proposed such a solution? None.
Therefore, the only compatibility the world religions have is their incompatibility.
Thanks be to God who has secured our salvation through Jesus' precious blood shed for our sins. Amen.
