Could it be in fact that Jesus was correct when he said, wide is the road to destruction, narrow the road to eternal life? Or how about beleiving in the purity of his words when he said, I Am the way, the Only way to the Father? Jesus Is Enough He gave the 'Great Commission' or orders to spread his words to others hence pastors, groups, cells, churches, 'institutions'... to help the unbelieving, the lost (e.i. Muslims, Buddists, Wicca Witches) to understand the his good news. JESUS IS ENOUGH This is where I have to disagree with you, Joshua.

Could it be possible that all are on the road to enlightenment? Otherwise why would we exist? People die from mistakes every day, but why does that have to be the end of the road?

Otherwise why would we exist?

People die from mistakes every day, but why does that have to be the end of the road?

A Muslim maybe? Or anyone who has faith, but rejects your idea of who God or Christ is. It just seems like you have faith in a more things than just love and so how do you know those are not illusion?

I love questions and if I had it my way I'd force everyone to communicate via questions rather then with answers. I guess I can say that I don't believe in blind faith. The next questions What are tangible things we can place our faith in? Do these things make up what people refer to as God? Is God love? Great question!

What are tangible things we can place our faith in?

If a person can have faith in something that ends up being an illusion, how should one go about verifying if there object of faith is real or not? Many say that we "know" God or Christ by faith, but if faith can be misplaced, how do we know if it is in something that is not in fact an illusion? Jeff Hey Josh,
