"There Are Many Paths, But Only One Destination"
"All roads lead to Rome" was a popular saying, used by many to illustrate the point that there are many paths, however, there is only one destination. The clear calm voice within, being the path and, God as Spirit, being that destination. I realize that you will disagree, perhaps vehemently/violently as other Christians formerly have, with my belief that Jesus did not come to earth to establish Christianity. That task was left to Saul/Paul and others similarly motivated. I left Christianity behind [and later rejected many of its tenets and precepts], initially because of their insistence of enforcing the concept of Christianity's exclusive access to God, [or whatever other name the Creator might be called, in any particular past, present, or future society.] I don't think that one must have a knowledge of Jesus as "our personal savior." And saved from what? God has no error to amend, so what original sin did God commit, that would enable us to even have an ability to commit ours?
[deleting most of the very long paragraph which follows]
Thanks for writing, ______.
Only question: you now believe there is only one destination, no matter how we get there. How do you know this is true?
