Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth , and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. John 14:6. (Jesus) For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus... 1 Timothy 2:5.

(Jesus) “…flee from idolatry.” 1 Cor. 10:14. “Do not be idolaters,…” 1 Cor. 10:7. ....Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? 2Cor. 6:14,15.
