No One Else

There are many who claim that there are "many different paths to God" and that "all religions are a path to God". Someone may even have said something like this recently. I am no one's judge, and I am not about to presume to have perfect knowledge about what someone means when he says something like this. In one sense this is completely true. Since everyone will appear before the Judgment seat of Christ to be judged as to whether they obeyed the gospel or not, then we can truly say that all religions are a path to God -- some lead to redemption, and others lead to damnation; but both of those come from God.

On this feast of the Holy Cross, it is required of us to realize that only by the cross of our Lord and Savior are we able to be saved. Neither the ideas of Mohammed, the opinions of Buddha, or the actions of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva can ever save anyone from eternal damnation. Just to be perfectly clear, however, I would like to quote our first Pope St. Peter, who spoke with the perfect inspiration of the Holy Ghost:

Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead...is the stone which was rejected by you builders, but which has become the head of the corner. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:10-12).
