 Think on this:

People have created gods in their own image. They interpret God according to their own cultural biases, as well as what family, educational, and business associations have predisposed them to believe. They then attribute His favor to their political parties, athletic teams, motivations, and prejudices. All this is done with precious little careful study into, meditation upon, and especially wholeheartedly believing of His inspired revelation of Himself in the Bible.
At the worship service held in the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., a few days following the attack of September 11, 'clergy' from several different faiths or religions participated. Which 'clergyman' represented God? Which did God hear? Can they all be His representatives, even though they all believe differently? Do these differences not matter to Him? They must matter to those men; otherwise, they would not advocate their brand of faith. He makes very clear that no one comes to Him except through Jesus Christ.
Even this past Saturday at #StopTheSteal, many different faith groups came together in prayer, etc and the 'MC' of the event said, "This is an ecumenical event, if you believe in Jesus, I'm all in...and if you don't believe in Jesus in anyway, do you believe in the God of the Bible? That's good enough for me."
7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
- 2 Jn. 1:7-11
22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha. - 1 Cor. 16:22
