#whatif What if you wanted to go Yellowstone National Park? What if youre not sure where it is and ask for directions. What if 5 different people tell you 5 different ways. Each assures you they are correct. What if secretly each tell you that there there is no other way but their way and the other will get you lost. What if you decide to listen to one of these people. Lets say that you and 9 others received instruction from this person. You look around and the other 4 people each have 10 others that they are instructing on how to get to Yellowstone National Park. You really want to get to the park so you are dilligent. You notice others in your group arent quite as determined and dont seem to pass as much attention. What if you each set out separately but some even for small groups trying to encourage one another along the journey. What if you arrive at Yellowstone park to find that not everyone from you class made it. What if you also see that people from other classes made it safely also, but no group was 100% successful. What if you realize that there are many people there at Yellowstone National Park that didnt attend anyones classes? How can this be? What if when you get to heaven, your religion is not the only group of people there? What if there ARE mormons, methodists, Jehovah Witnesses, Jews, Roman catholics, Budists, taoists, Christians in their diversity (baptists, pentecostals and their many subgroups, nondenominational Christians with their varied beliefs,. how do account for the people who never stepped foot into a church or heard of the god of Abraham? How can I be so stubborn and arrogant as to believe that the road I follow is only correct road and that everyone else will simply be lost. I believe Jesus when he said in Matthew 7:13 “You can enter true life only through the narrow gate. The gate to hell is very wide, and there is plenty of room on the road that leads there. Many people go that way. 14 But the gate that opens the way to true life is narrow. And the road that leads there is hard to follow. Only a few people find it. But does this mean one religion is the way and every other religion is doomed to failure? So if Im right, there will be NO catholics, Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses, etc? Isnt that a judgement and prejudice? Doesnt that violate the command that I cannot judge? Doesnt that violate the command for me to love (do my actions/thoughts on this matter agree with 1 corinthians 13:4-7)? If you get to heaven and find someone there who never heard of Jesus, how do you account for that?
