Do all roads lead to God?

I do believe from what i have read in Gods written word we find that in Noahs day--it proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that all roads do not lead to God, but one road leads to God. Noah a servant of( YHWH) Jehovah-- as was Moses,David,Isaiah,Job,Lot,Daniel, etc-- every one of them served the true God--they all served YHWH(Jehovah) a single being God. So did Jesus-rev 3:12. 1 cor 15:24-28.
Without a single doubt in Gods written word,God never had more than a single religion that was his.Jesus came and started a single religion, united in love and peace worldwide.
The name Jesus taught his true followwers at John 17:6 is YHWH(Jehovah) and at John 17:1-6--Jesus said that his Father( the one who sent him-John 5:30) is the only true God. Paul taught the same at 1 cor 8:6) the trinity translations have been altered to fit catholocism council false teachings.

That isn't a road, it's a map. And that one looks like someone spilled something on it.

I think most roads lead to God. Basically, any path that teaches social justice, the preference of peace to war, helping the poor and the helpless, and treating others with respect is basically a way to live a good life that can lead one to closeness to God, whether the experience is called that or not.

I always like to think of evolution as the road to godhood. Does that count?

I kind of suspect this as well.
I kind of wonder if this is the process by which Gods procreate. The universe as the womb.

Considering the universe will eventually end in heat death (so far as we know currently), seems like an exercise in futility.

Doesnt one think that the humans in Noahs day had love and kindness for their friends and families? Or even those who lived in Sodom and Gommorah. Its those who serve the true God and live a righteous life, who walk the cramped road leading to life( eternal) --Few will find it.

The after-birth is usually discarded.

However the idea of godhood would be the ability of life, intelligence to create a universe. So loss of a universe, not the end of the world. :)

Or perhaps life will simply develop the technology to fix heat death. Nothing is certain until the show is over.

Then why is it so cramped? :shrug:

God leads to all roads. He is trying to escape himself. Eternity is intolerable. That's why we live in ignorance. The universe is the blanket god pulled over his head because inexplicable eternal solitary consciousness is a nightmare.

(I'm just making **** up of course. Aren't I ? )

It's not enough to have kindness for people you love. That doesn't make for a just society, that just makes for a slightly more diffused narcissism.

Judaism is not a religion that teaches that you have to literally love everyone. But it is a religion that teaches that you have to be fair and equitable under the law to everyone, and that the law itself has to have fairness and equitability inherent within it, to the best of everyone's ability.

While I can't speak for the Generation of the Flood (in any case, I read that story metaphorically and not literally), certainly we teach that the sin of Sodom was the creation of a culture that deliberately inculcated cruelty and selfishness, and deliberately sought to eliminate empathy and equitability (to be utterly selfish and uncaring of others, in other words, is to be a Sodomite-- nothing to do with sex).

And while adhering closely to Torah law, or whatever one's traditional religious teachings may be does not and cannot guarantee that a person becomes good and draws close to God, treating others poorly, victimizing them, and living a life of greed and lust for power-- regardless of one's adherence to the letter of Torah law or any other system of teachings-- definitely will drive one away from closeness to God. Or so we say.
