Link: Are there many ways onto mountain to God?

That article is jsut rhetoric. Starts off with an opinion and builds a mountain of nothing out of nothing.

Theology 101

A Creation proves that there is a Creator.

If the Creation functions universally on the same physical laws there is obviously One Common Creator.

Common moral ideas across mankind prove a common spiritiual origin.

So there is God and this God is One God.

Man did not create itself, ergo man is not God, and cannot attain Godhood. Nor can Man find the Way to this God, because this God is Higher than the man, higher than any "Mountain."

They idea that all man can reach God in his or her own way is unfounded, since it takes the will of this God out of the equation and makes the Creator a Slave to the Creation, which is not possible, because it is the Creation that Depends upon the Creator for life.

Thus, God decides which is the way to get to God, not man.

It is up to you to search for this God, but thanks to the Creator's Creation we can determine a few things.

1. God is Almighty, because all things come from the Creator.
2. God is All Knowing, because the Creator created all things.
3. God is All Present, because the Creator could not create a Creation surpassing the Creator.
4. Unselfish acts in life and in nature preserve life. Selfish acts destroy life and happiness. Since the order of things done man go from good to bad, man's Creator made man good, and designed man to be good, and thus the Creator favors good, making the Creator good. Thus, God is Good.
5. The Good God is accessible by the Good God's good nature, which makes this Good God unselfish, seeking after the good of the Creator's Creation. God seeks the good of man. God will aid the man seeking after God, because God is a Good God. God loves the good of man. God loves. God is Love.
5. The Good God of Love loves you and will draw near to you according to your love for the Good God of Love.
6. And God did just that.
7. For once a man came Claiming to be God, and did not just demonstrate power and authority, but also goodness and love for even the bad man. This man of Perfect Goodness and Perfect Love was either Crazy, or was telling the Truth, since the Good God does not lie, because that would be selfish.
8. That's The Good God of Love 101, the rest is up to you.

Jesus is the only way!

Exactly! If anyone would bother to read the whole page, they would have noticed that it devotes the last 2/3s of the page to Jesus and Jesus alone. It even ends the page with this:

... A good question is indeed, that when Jesus Christ has already approached you and want to meet you, so are you tolerant towards him? For when for example in the New Age movement is spoken often about tolerance, freedom from prejudice and broad-minded people, so are you also of such kind, that you accept him for your Saviour and that only through him is the way to the Father God? Are you ready to turn to him? Or if you do not even consider this alternative, you are not perhaps so tolerant as you think....

... THE PRAYER OF SALVATION:

The Lord, Jesus, I turn to you. I admit, that I have committed sins against you and I have not lived according to your will. However, I want to turn from my sins and to follow you with all my heart. And I also believe, that my sins have been forgiven by your atonement work and I have got eternal life through you. I thank for the salvation, which you have donated to me. Amen.

The first portion of the article actually addresses the problems of believing all roads lead to God. It also stresses the lack of assurance of salvation by some beliefs. If I am reading the article correctly, it is pointing to Jesus and Jesus alone as the "source" of salvation.

Read the whole article. 8-)
