Whether or not this is the "Road to nowhere" the Republican politicians have been referring to I really don't know, but it really is a road to nowhere. Just look!!! Now, everyone in this world has things that happen to them; some by accident, some by choice. In the context of religion, the life we live (lets call it a road) is our choice, but the question is... where will it get us? Consider these two verses of scripture...
WEB: Matthew Chapter 7
[13] “Enter in by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in by it. [14] How narrow is the gate, and restricted is the way that leads to life! Few are those who find it.
WEB: John 14:6. Jesus said to him, "“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
The entrance to destruction is wide, while that to life is narrow. This is to say that it is easy to go to destruction and difficult to enter into that way that leads to life (eternal life, that is). The next verse (John 14:6) has Jesus saying... that he (himself) is the way (the road), the truth (notice the... the) and the life (genuine life, not just existence). Think all paths lead to heaven? Wrong!!! If you are not following what Jesus teaches, then you are on a road to nowhere, to a road that will ultimately lead to destruction. If you think this sounds narrow minded, bigoted and sectarian, then YOU HAVE A PROBLEM. Jesus is saying this, not me. Face it, common sense tells you that everyone can't be right, otherwise truth is no longer truth. But, you may say... what about the Muslims, the Hindu's the Jews and that group down the street that worships the great pumpkin. You mean they are headed on a path of destruction? Yep! Once again, read the two verses and think about what Jesus says!!! OK, you think these things do not apply to you because you are a member of a denomination; think again!!! If you believe more or less than the Bible teaches you are on the wrong path; a road to nowhere and this is one dangerous road. Put aside all your religious tradition, your creeds and your other than scripture church organization and do exactly what the Bible teaches and you will enter via the narrow gate and be on the road to heaven. Do it before its too late!!!!
