My dear Tom,

I am happy to see your kind queries. Thanks to you first.I am trying my best to answer your questions bellow:

1)No. I don't believe that there is more than one way to heaven. There is only one- the way of one and only God. think of a sea; a number of rivers flow in different ways but their destination is one. finally they all connect with the big sea. that way our soul one day will mix up with that supreme soul or infinite whole whom we call God, Allah, Bhagban and in different names. Now you may ask that what is that way of God? Isn't it revealed through bible? Yes. It was not only revealed through bible but also other holy books I mentioned. But everyone's aim is one-to know the God and mix with him finally. Jesus came to fullfill the doctrines past to him and taught truth to the people. He came to reclaim the people from sin. but did all the people reclaimed through his preaching? no. thats why another prophet was sent by God through the Ishmael dynasty. you know when God instructed Abraham to banish Hagar and his son to the desert at the same time he commited that he will give attention to Ishmael next to Isaac. From Isaac's Dynasty Jesus came and last of all Mohammad came from Ishmael's dynasty. It is God who love his creature and alert them from growing sin before damaging them. That's why he sent Mohammad in that time of numerous sin. In Srimad Bhagbad Gita Krishna telling to Arjuna, When evil deeds devours good deeds and the world become full of sin that moments of every edges God send his correspondent to make the way of God coreect and straight.

2) In my first post I never claimed that if anyone says christianity or his own religion 'true'that it means that they hate others! I was trying to make the point that, we should not hate others or their religion before studing or realizing them truly. You may find many fundementalist who meaninglessly oppose others though they have very litlle or no knowledge at all on the issue! I am telling about that persons and humbly requesting them not to do so. It just increase conflicts and make people distracted from the original religious truth.

3)After studing the theory you can go for practical. Truth is always objective but you have to fix your object extracting it from the subject. why some people renunciate for God? Can't they get the truth by being with his own family or rituals? In fact when subject is extracted and then the truth come to the adorer and as per that realized truth they set their Godly object. All are not blessed with divine knowledge from the craddle.but for the succeess here and here after we need to acquire that knowledge before going to grave. Thats why we take the subject as elementary stage and when get the elements gathered like a garland we get freed for the ultimate object.

4) My dear please read the holy Quran with attention. you will no where find that it claims Mohammad greater than Jesus! but will find many verses telling the grandeurs of the great soul from God, Jesus Christ. not Quran but some hollow people do this claims. they spoiling a lot of time by making quarrell that who is great or greater but not aware of the preactising of their teachings in their own life.

Now come to Bible. At the ninth hour when Jesus was crucified he cried out in an loud voice, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"(Mathew 27:46) See,Jesus remembering God during his death also and alwyas he used to remember the almighty god! So, did Jesus claimed himself the God? My dear brother, time has come to stand on the right point because Jesus will appear again and for the last time and may again tell: "Not everyone who says to me'Lord,Lord' will enter the kingdom of heaven,but only he who does the will of my father who is in heaven.Many will say to me on the day,'Lord,Lord,did we not prophecy in your name,and your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?'Then I will tell them plainly,'I never know you.away from me,you evil doers!'(Mathew 7:21-23).

5)Yes Jesus said: he is the way, the truth, and the life; Its true he is a way shown by God, he came with the truth and the message of life. Let's practise that divinity and teachings. lets try to collect all the haphazard flowers and make a nice garland.

May God bless us!
