QT 14 Jul 11, "Many ways to God" is a lie

Jer 23:33-36 (NIV) "When these people, or a prophet or a priest, ask you, 'What is the oracle of the Lord?' say to them, 'What oracle? I will forsake you, declares the Lord.' 34 If a prophet or a priest or anyone else claims, 'This is the oracle of the Lord,' I will punish that man and his household. 35 This is what each of you keeps on saying to his friend or relative: 'What is the Lord's answer?' or 'What has the Lord spoken?' 36 But you must not mention 'the oracle of the Lord' again, because every man's own word becomes his oracle and so you distort the words of the living God, the Lord Almighty, our God.

NOTE:  The philosophy that there are many ways to God is not supported by God himself.  Essentially, there is only one truth.  The other ways are a "man's own word" and "distort the words of the living God."  Earlier in the passage God addresses false dreams (verses 25-32), and God clearly says "I did not send or appoint them."  If there are not multiple messages from Judaism, but only one right and true message, how can multiple messages from other religions that disagree with the God of the OT be any more right or true?  There is only one God and there is only one message.  The message of the new covenant does not contradict anything in the old testament.  The new covenant is the fulfillment of the promises in the old testament.  It agrees one hundred percent with the message and the person of God.  And, similarly, Jesus boldly says that he is the only way to God.  He is the only truth.  He is the only one who represents life, eternal life.  Anyone who agrees with the philosophy of many ways to God is a false prophet who is only bringing a message of disaster to those who hears his remarks.  God will judge him for his misleading of those around him, and for his own sins.
