Pope Francis has lately made the statement that there are many ways to relate to God. He told a group of youth that their religious diversity is a “gift from God.”

There are many religious leaders who try to sell this idea. It is nice to be tolerant and welcoming of all people, but the Pope’s first duty is to promulgate christian doctrine as understood within the Catholic communion. Christian doctrine says there is only one way to God the Father and that is through the person of Jesus Christ.

In John 14:6, we have the words of Jesus: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.”

It is possible that you could believe other religions or philosophies to be true and hold them together, but you cannot do that with christianity. Either Jesus is the only way to the Father or He is mistaken at this point. If He is mistaken on this, then He can be mistaken on other things as well.

You cannot be a christian and believe that there are many ways to the Father. Jesus holds an exclusive claim at this point.

If you have never asked Jesus to take control of your life, than you should do that now. Tell Him you awe sorry for your sins and ask Him to forgive you and to show you how to live for Him.
