I Am the Way, the Truth and the Life

I basically got engaged in a conversation with a friend from Iran... it's an eye-opener that you could meet a muslim being so 'open' to talk about religion. anyway.. my friend told me about his opinions on why we should not consume 'unclean' food because that will risk us not entering heaven. this thought is very much keeping the law and working ourselves up to heaven... anyway god did reveal to us that he has made all food clean (found in the book of Acts) and so we are free to consume whatever we want as long as it is treated corretly that doesn't mess up our diagestic systems.

so he said.. even if a man comes up to you and say if you eat this.. you will die. there's a probability of 0.0000000000000001% that it might be poisonous and might get us killed for eating that. i think in today's culture, we are so contented to a belief that we are not suppose to do certain things which might cause us to sin otherwise. in chinese culture, there are tons of taboos that we need to be aware of to keep the gods calm. in islam, it's typical to keep the 5 pillars everyday including not eating pork... buddhism have the eight fold path... while christians have the 10 commandments. well... the similar things of all these are moving up to heaven or reaching nirvana yet the truth still remains. our sins remains a stain in our hearts.

why i become a christian is that i found an ultimate sacrifice that removes us from eternal condemnity and judgement. it's God sending His one and only son to die on the cross - and his name is Jesus. of all the other religions and keeping the law clean, i've found a truth according to the bible is that we are not able to fulfill the law and behave well. we need mercy and grace.... this story can be stretched to very long but to keep it short Jesus came more than 2000 years ago and claim that He is the way, the truth and the life.. of all the other ways of working our ways up to heaven, he is the road less taken. the 0.0000000000000000001% that people don't even want to consider him as the only gate to heaven. and so it says, even there's a chance of 0.0000000000000000001% that Jesus might be right, why don't we even take the chance of believing in Him now than to regret later?
