Before today, I had considered Kathleen Parker an intelligent and informed newspaper columnist.  Before today, I had not realized the woman thinks there are multiple ways to get to heaven.

I have no idea what Ms. Parker's faith is, or lack thereof, but her column Mapquesting God's Place shows her gross ignorance of true Christianity.  In her column, she is stating that God would honor the prayer of a Muslim or a Hindu just as He would a Christian, even though a Muslim or Hindu doesn't understand that Jesus is the Christ.

Perhaps Ms. Parker doesn't understand Jesus is the Christ, either.  That's not for me to say or even speculate on, but she suggested that Reverend Franklin Graham may have been "feeling cross" when he explained in a USA Today interview that all beliefs coming together in prayer to their respective gods will do no good whatsoever.

I am here today to tell you that Rev. Graham is utterly correct.  The Bible, the only real instruction from the only real Deity that exists, states in Ephesians 4:5 that there is "One Lord, one faith, one baptism."

Read that again:  "One Lord, one faith, one baptism."  Now how can anybody confuse that?  Only one God exists.  Only one God has ever existed and ever will, yet we have these knuckleheads running around insisting we be "tolerant" of other religions.

Let's review:  "One Lord, one faith, one baptism."  These words were written before the Muslims' "sacred" prophet Mohammad ever drew breath and dreamed up the Muslim false religion.  These words were written before Buddhism was ever invented, and I guarantee ya that Mohammad and Buddha are dead.  My Jesus is alive.

John 10 states: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber."  To the Muslims and the Hindus and all the other false religions who think they're going to heaven, Jesus just called you a thief and a robber.  He made it even more clear in verse 7:  "Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep."  Jesus is the only door, the only way into heaven.

I get so disgusted when I hear people yak about being politically correct and being "tolerant" of other religions.  When I'm asked to be tolerant, I am being asked to tolerate sin.  The Lord has made it clear in His word that there are no other religions, no other beliefs.  Everything but Him is false; it always was and it always will be.

Over the years, people have tried to rewrite the Bible or stick their own ideas into God's word.  God doesn't take kindly, putting it lightly, to people attempting to monkey with His word, as He warned us in Revelation 22:19:  "And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and [from] the things which are written in this book. "  Jesus also said in Matthew 5:18: 
"For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."

We can't change the Gospel.  We can't deceive ourselves into thinking it's okay for everybody to pray to their respective little gods that don't exist and ignore the real and only Lord, then scold all the Christians because we're not "tolerant" of all the malarkey!

Another terribly disturbing passage of Parker's column states that a poll taken by an evangelical firm found that many Christians under 30 believe that "there are many ways to God, not just through Jesus."  Additional surveys, conducted by David Campbell, a professor at Notre Dame, show that "nearly two-thirds of evangelicals under 35 believe non-Christians can go to heaven".

What heresy is the modern churches teaching our young people?!  Such ideas are absolutely not in the Bible; God positively told us, clearly and repeatedly, in His word, that we MUST believe in Him to be saved!  John 14:6 says:  "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."  God could not make it any plainer than that.

No Christian worth their salt will accept such false thinking and false doctrines, and if they do think that anyone makes it to heaven without wholeheartedly believing and accepting Jesus, they are not Christian, and they are not saved.

So go ahead; call me intolerant because I'm calling all other so-called "faiths" false, but know this:  The coming of Christ, our real and only Lord, is very, very close, much closer than most people realize, and while people like Parker and Obama are busy being politically correct and trying not to offend the violent Muslims, I'm telling all who will listen about Jesus.  He is real; He is love and righteousness and real salvation and a holiness and purity these other defiled beliefs will never understand, and He rose from the dead, crucified for your sins, over 2000 years ago.  It is my hope, my most heartfelt prayer, that all who read this today who haven't accepted the precious Christ will open their hearts to the real God, so their prayers will be honored and their souls saved before it is too late.

May I see you in the Rapture!
