Where is Christanity Headed?

[Conscience]

I don't believe any religion leads to God.

Me either. In fact, I believe no religion lead to God.

I believe people sincerely seeking for God will find Him, because He is right there for everybody, just waiting for them to turn towards Him.

I agree! And, as the bible says, for those persons that sincerly seek, God will show them his Son, the one that offers Salvation. God's work is full proof, his laws written on our hearts are there to show us that, by his (God's) standards, we're not good people. If we see that we guilty of sin, and truely seek God, we will find Jesus.

I believe that God is infinite and we are finite, so we express our experience of God in ways that fit with our cultural, linguistic, and historical context. But God is God, however you describe Him.

Definitly!

Look at us agreeing again. This is so cool!

I do have to add, though, that I do not think the purpose of the Law being written on our hearts is to make us recognize we are not good people. We have really different views about how God interacts with people from what I've surmised. You believe God is separated from us by sin (until one becomes born-again), whereas I do not believe that. So why do I think the Law is written on our hearts?

I think it is there for us to be called to love God and love others (the essence of the Law, a la Jesus). Of course if we aren't completely egoistic we do recognize that we are imperfect, but that doesn't mean we can't be righteous. The Bible pointed out quite a few righteous people in the OT, and Joseph was called a "good" and "righteous" man (Lk 23:50). I think we have both the capacity for good and for evil, and the Law is there to cause us to want to turn toward God. The Law teaches us love, as well as humility.
