A message much like this, “We’re all speaking the same different language.” was the bait I swallowed once, which led me down a dark and lost path in search for truth. Before this, I had just recently heard what GOD's Word said,
"Jesus said to him, I Am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me."

But, this message - much like this one, “We’re all speaking the same different language.”

challenged me to question the Word of GOD, I had just recently heard. I found myself being pulled in another direction, taking a close look at all these other godly people and their beliefs, and their gods.
I wish I would have just taken GOD at His Word the first time I heard Him saying,

Jesus said to him, "I Am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me."

I must admit that I found it very appealing to escape from the strict doctrine mentioned in the Bible, by following after anything that would contradict it - So I could have one foot in the Gospel and another foot - and both hands - in the philosophies of this world.

This led to nothing but tragic circumstances in my life. And it all started with a subtle message, so very much like this one. “We’re all speaking the same different language.”

For this reason, I feel I am accountable to the LORD, to say something, so as not to risk this message becoming a stumbling block to another person who might have a weak knowledge of the Truth, thus leading them away from GOD's Truth to follow after false philosophies.

The truth is:
They will appear to have a godly life, but they will not let its power change them. Stay away from such people.

"Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." 2 Timothy 3:5

The Apostle Paul said:
3 But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.
4 For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which we have not preached, you accept it gladly..

5 I consider myself not in the least inferior to the most eminent apostles.
6 But even if I am unskilled in speech, yet I am Not so in knowledge; in fact, in every way we have made this evident to you in all things.

10 As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine will not be stopped in the regions of Achaia.
11 Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!

12 But what I am doing I will continue to do, so that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the matter about which they are boasting.

13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, [some, even] disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.
14 No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.

18 Since many boast according to the flesh, I will boast also.
19 For you, being so wise, tolerate the foolish gladly.
20 For you tolerate it if anyone enslaves you, anyone devours you, anyone takes advantage of you,
[or if] anyone exalts himself,

28 "......there is the daily pressure on me of concern for all the churches.
29 Who is weak without my being weak? Who is led into sin without my intense concern?
30 If I have to boast, I will boast of what pertains to my weakness.
31 The GOD and Father of the LORD Jesus, He who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying.
