We must seek God on his terms

To the editor:

I read with great interest Sam Blackwell's Jan. 26 column, "On a mission to know God." Sam hit the nail on the head when he said, "Ultimately it seems to me that all religions are talking about the same God and that the differences between religions are due to our differences." Bravo, Sam. You have discovered the root problem that all religions must deal with, that being the difference between what God says in his holy and inspired revelation, the Bible, and what men say. Notice what the inspired apostle Paul says in Ephesians 4:4-6 "There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all." Indeed there is only one God, and we must seek him on his terms (John 3:24). On a mission to know God? "If you continue in my word, then you are truly disciples of mine; and the truth will make you free." (John 8:31b-32).
