Salvation is God’s call
Q: In a previous answer to a question, you advised a reader who was being “witnessed to” at work. I agree that we should witness without belittling anyone. I don’t agree, however, that there are many paths to salvation. Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6.) Other religions that teach their followers a works salvation, or the worshipping of anyone else other than Christ, are teaching false doctrine that will allow many to spend eternity in hell. This isn’t a popular view but it is biblical and the absolute truth!— B., via

Atoning for one’s sins
Q: Are there scriptures in the Torah that support your view that surrogate atonement is incorrect? I thought animal sacrifices were classic examples of surrogate atonement. Also, when God killed an animal so He could clothe Adam and Eve after their fall in the Garden of Eden, that was an example of innocent blood being shed to cover sin. If you hold to your view, how can any person atone for their sins?— A., via
