Thanks for the post. This is a good discussion and you bring up some excellent points.  I totally agree in terms of the mystery of who God is, how big God is, and how much I don't understand. Derrick C. Brown - one of my favorite poets has done an amazing video called A Finger, Two Dots, Then me and I feel like it is a profound look at how big God is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwQJHx615eE&amp;feature=share It's about 8 minutes long but so worthwhile! Way better than church :)
Here is where I struggle - if two views about God and the way to God contradict each other, which one is correct? It defies logic that all can be correct. I grew up in the Muslim world, lived there as an adult and still travel there often - if all ways lead to God then surely the terrorists from 9/11 are in Heaven. They were zealous for God and carried out their actions in the name of God. If we go by the dogma that all ways lead to God - then surely this group cannot be excluded. I would also add that if Jesus called himself God, and he's not - then he is not a good guy.  He is someone who purposely deluded people and laughed in the process. He is not the way of compassion, but rather the way to a deadly delusion.  Could it be that there is one way to God, but many ways to Jesus? Sorry this is so long but I do a lot of thinking about this subject and your post is great food for my thinking!
