Acepyro, I'm not sure where you're coming from, as your posts are very terse. I'm unclear on whether you're a mormon or whether you believe all religions lead to God. I think the latter, going by the above post. You see, God has shown us
the path in the Bible. Jesus said,
"I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" (Jn 14:6). It is on us to follow the path, but if you don't, you will end up in hell, a place of eternal torment (Mk 9:43-48). Satan will be locked away during the Millennium (Rev 20:1-6), if that's what you're referring to, but afterward he will be cast into the lake of fire, along with all unbelievers.
Rev 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Rev 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
I have no idea what war you're talking about. Perhaps Armageddon? Anyway, if you look at the verses I've provided, there is no reason to think the Bible teaches everyone will go to heaven. In fact, Jesus tells us
few will find eternal life.
Mat 7:13-14 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
This is the Bible's take on the matter. If you understand the Bible differently, please quote Scripture to support your point of view. If you think God has shown us the path in some other source, such as the Book of Mormon, please tell us why we should trust that source, since it is clearly at odds with the Bible. If you think all religions lead to God, and Christianity is just one way, please explain why Jesus would have said He was the
only way to God and whoever wasn't for Him was against Him (Mat 12:30). The God depicted in the Bible tolerates no rivals.
Ex 34:14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
This is the God I worship, the God I'm headed to spend eternity with, not some God who is so powerless he can't even communicate properly with mankind but gives joos one message, Christians another, muslims another, buddhists another, hindus another, etc. If the same God is behind all the holy books of all the world's religions, why would He give them all contradictory messages and, in most cases, tell them there was only one way to please Him?
