Well thats somewhat of a loaded question...first off IMO it depends on ones definition of "god".....there is a god in my personal path (Bondye) but its not the same as the Christian god..similar but not the same...there are key gods in numerous different religions that are SIMILAR to the Christian god but not exactly the same....SO..are you talking about YOUR god or "God" in general...One thing to remember is ALL RELIGIONS were CREATED BY MAN...SOOOO that being said, lets look at it like this for a second....
ONE 'GOD' (higher, ultimate being) the same basic message to ppl aorund the world BUT those ppl all interpreted it differently due to lets say their location, culture, language etc etc with the end result being all the various religious text (the bible, the koran etc etc)..BUT the original source is the same being..So looking at it that way YES all paths DO lead to "god"

Only thru God's Son, Jesus Christ, can we come to the Father.
God bless.

I believe that there is only one true God and to have a relationship with him can only be attained through believing that Jesus Christ is Lord. But he can use many means and methods
to bring people to that realization, because every good thing in the world has come from
his creation, and the Bible says he is not far from each one of us.

The answer to this is possibly there is only one way and many ways. How can this be.
I hypothesize that believers in God of all faiths have life eternal. Thus there would be many paths that lead to God. On the other hand, the essential thing is to actually believe in God and live your life as someone who does believe in God. Thus this would be the only one path to God.
Take your pick, the answer depends on your perspective.

I agree that we are all on different paths and all those paths can ultimately lead us to a relationship with God. Each one must find God for himself.

Just one. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son so that whoever believed in him would have everlasting life" John 3:16

Hi clrumfelt, I am sure that there are many paths that lead to God. All the great religions of the world teach much the same when you get to their real meaning. Jesus said, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". Muhammad said "Our true wealth is the good we do in this world. None of us has faith unless we desire for our neighbours what we desire for ourselves". I have been told that there are similar quotes in the other major religions, and I expect the smaller groups as well. The problem is we often fear what we do not understand. Sometimes we are given misinformation about religions other than our own. Also there are fundamentalists in all religions who close there eyes and ears to anything about other religions. Blessings.

I believe all people are on different paths of life and that God can reach out to people in whatever path they are on. Even though I believe that ultimately the only path to God is through believing that Jesus Christ is Lord, God can use many means to lead people to that point. Most religions have things in common with the Bible, and that is not by accident.

I believe in many paths and all paths leading to the same light. We have many names for the superior being that exists, many names for the path to knowledge and love from that superior being but they all lead to the superior being.
Was it not "God" who said, I am Yahweh, I am God, I am known by many names? Would that not indicate that he\she has many names and many paths to him\her?

"I believe in many paths and all paths leading to the same light."Jesus Christ claims to be the Light of the world. Yes, there are many paths that God can use to bring people to the Light, and God has revealed his personality to us through his names[e.g., Jehovah:(I AM); Jehovah Jireh:(I AM Provider); Jehovah Rohi: (I AM Shepherd); Jehovah Tsidkenu:(the Lord our Righteousness), etc.,].
There are many more of God's names in the Bible which reveal his personality to us and help us know Who he really is. God can meet us on whatever path our life happens to be on, and reveal himself to us through many ways.

There are many paths to G-d. and G-d has many names. As long as you find a path and you are faithful,you will be okay.

There is only one path way to heaven. Baptism. When you believe, then you repent, then you baptized. Jesus show us that path way when his cousin John the Baptist baptized him and the heaven open and says this is my only begotten son who I am well pleased. So my friend when you baptize then you can go to bible studies to educated yourself more if you don't know the bible.
Some churches are doing bible studies then they baptize but that was not God law.
