Just unlaoding some thoughts after reading this article. Many of us have probably at one point or another asked how could the world have been so wrong in the past when Jesus was walking the world and the grace of salvation was in physical form? Many of us have also questioned at some point how could the Pharisees have been so corrupt?
We do in the present day have many modern-day-pharisees, we may not be burning false sacrifices or hoarding in donations for personal uses. But there are those that offer up self-serving praise, and half-hearted devotions. Do we lift up God's love for others to see us raising him up, or are we whole-heartedly praising God's grace and majesty?

maybe it's a lack of biblical understanding and knowledge that leads us to believe differently.
makes children's ministry all the more important
After skimming the article and weighing your question... I think we would prefer that there are "many ways to heaven." But consider this, being open to other ways does not make you more confident that you are heaven bound, if anything, it gives you less assurance. But look at this, Jesus said: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." It sounds so restrictive doesn't it? But man isn't that so reassuring? If Jesus is trustworthy (and I'm convinced he is) then his teachings are trustworthy. "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding" - Prov 3:5
thanks Tom Proverbs is a beautiful straightforward book, but so is the rest of the Bible. But yes that verse strikes a strong chord.
