Some people say that faith
In Jesus is for the weak-willed
But we who know and love Him
Are as cups that have been filled.

They say that we are fools 
Intolerant of others paths
Jesus is not the only way
They ridicule and they laugh.

They say all paths eventually lead 
To the same and loving god
What difference does it make
The road you choose to plod?

Some preach re-incarnation 
To escape the throws of death
But sadly, they find damnation
Upon drawing their last breath.

Man needs absolute truth
Upon which to base his life
It's only found in the Bible
Offered to us as an earthly guide.

So are we Christians exclusive
When it comes to our beliefs?
Is Jesus the one and only way 
By which to enter heavens streets?

The Bible holds all the answers
If you would only take time to read
In it Jesus says quite unmistakably
"No one comes to the Father but through me".

So if they say I'm weak-willed
And intolerant as can be
I'll take the Word of Jesus
That's good enough for me!

"It's sad to think that not everyone believes in the truth that there is only one God, and the ONLY path to Him is through His Son, Jesus.  It breaks my heart to think that many do not believe Jesus is the light and the only way to the Lord our God and heaven's gates.  I think of the bumper sticker:
"Everyone wants to go the Heaven, but no one wants to buy a ticket."
It is indeed sad that many think that solice in another god will lead us all to Heaven's gates.  And those who do follow the path of righteousness, are ridiculed and made fun of for their beliefs.  Many think that those who do follow Jesus are weak, and that we use God as a crutch to get us through the hard times.  So then the thoughts and beliefs of death become more bearable.  That we haven't missed out on our tickets for Heaven.  This is not true.   We believe, because we choose to believe.  And through Jesus, we know we have a place in Heaven.   Ultimately, it doesn't matter what anybody else thinks because we know the truth; we know God's promises and we'll take the Word of Jesus!
A message from Janey:
"I do not view my Christianity as a crutch to make the unpleasantness of death more bearable. Christianity is a reality that makes death a re-birth into a wonderful life with Jesus. That's what Jesus says, and that's good enough for me!"
