Technically, that would be Judaism, since Islam and Christianity are merely "false heresies" or "the true branch" of Judaism.

And yet Judaism and Christianity (and I'm sure Islam) say that majorities are most prone to falseness and that the good and true are mostly few.

Of course, that would be if you have a judeo-christian perspective.

No one in the world, anywhere, talks about "judeo-christian" perspectives, or even uses that bastardized word, except in the USA.

An invented word for an invented perspective.

Well, that's a Hoity toity attitude. The fact remains that in the several posts I was responding to, one of which brought up christianity and judism as somehow being the "true" or at least attached to the "true" religion, it's an apt perspective considering that virtually no one in Southeast Asian or the Indian subcontinent...and many other places...would agree.

Perhaps you should worry less about "bastardized" words and more about content.

Judaism recognizes that everyone has access to God regardless of their religion or path.

Thats why Judaism does not proselytize or seek converts.

One Creator who made us all? Yes of course. Only one religion to connect with the Creator? No of course not.

The statement itself is false if it says there is only "one" way to connect with G-d and that it must be through this master or that prophet or a specific religion or a single teacher.

Apparently the nations will look to the Jews, "in those days" and will say, "let us go with you", for "God is with you". (Zechariah 8:23) Right now, Judah/Jews remain under judgment (Hosea 5) and are not much of an example, until they finish coming through the refining fire (Zechariah 13:8-9).



New American Standard Bible Zechariah 8:23
"Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'In those days ten men from all the nations will grasp the garment of a Jew, saying, "Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you."'"

They, plural. And the different versions of Christianity can not all be true.
