What Willow Believes

What Willow Believes Cover About God:

Willow believes in a male counterpart to the Goddess, who could possibly be the Christian God or the God of Islam.

About the Trinity:

Willow doesn't believe in the Trinity.

About Jesus:

Willow believes Jesus was an enlightened man who should be honored just like Mohammed, Moses, Krishna, and Buddha, but he was not and is not God in the flesh.

About the Bible:

Willow doesn't believe in absolute truth but she considers the Bible a good book that she can pick and choose things from to help her follow her spiritual path.

About the Afterlife:

Willow believes in an endless cycle of reincarnation (birth-death-birth-death, etc.) and karma (what you do here affects you in the next life). She does not believe in heaven or hell.

About Salvation:

Willow does not believe in sin or a need for forgiveness, so she doesn't see a need for salvation. In her mind, being 'saved' would be to reach a point where one is free from the reincarnation/karma cycle.

What the Bible Teaches

About God:

God identified Himself as "I Am" (Exodus 20:2) - meaning He is the self-existent (never had a beginning or end) eternal Creator of the universe. There is no Goddess.

About the Trinity:

There is one God and yet three Persons (Isaiah 45:5; Deuteronomy 6:4; James 2:19). There are no other 'gods' or 'goddesses'.

About Jesus:

Jesus is fully God and fully man, He is the God of the universe (John 1:1, 14, 18; 8:58 ; 10:30 . Compare Titus 2:13 and Isaiah 45:21), and His death on the cross completely paid for the sins of the world (1 John 2:2). What Willow sees as 'enlightened' was actually His power as being God. What separates him from Moses, Buddah, Mohammed, etc. was that He came back from the dead.

About the Bible:

The Bible alone is the word of God and is absolute truth. It is without error. It cannot and should not be added to or subtracted from (2 Timothy 3:16-4:4; Revelation 22:18-20), and it is also the ultimate authority on spiritual matters. Every word of it is inspired by God, so you can't just pick and choose what you 'think' is true.

About the Afterlife:

Those who trust in Christ alone as their only hope of salvation spend eternity in heaven; those who reject Christ spend an eternity in hell (John 5:24-30; Revelation 20:11-15). The Bible denies the concept of reincarnation (Hebrews 9:27-28).

About Salvation:

All people are sinners in need of forgiveness (Romans 3:23). Salvation is by faith in Christ ALONE on the basis of His death on the cross. (John 3:16 -17, 36; 6:29 ,47; Romans 4:1-5; Galatians 2:16; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5)
