Steve Harvey Is Wrong About Salvation; Christians Watch Out!

          Millions of people follow Steve Harvey. He is “an American television presenter, comedian, actor, broadcaster, author, game show host and businessman. He hosts The Steve Harvey Morning Show, Family Feud, Celebrity Family Feud and the Miss Universe competition (since 2015)… He is a six-time Daytime Emmy Award winner, two-time Marconi Award winner, and a 14-time NAACP Image Award winner in various categories..”1

            Recently Steve Harvey alluded to the possibility of many ways to heaven.

            This is so blatantly wrong on so many levels.

            Many think that Steve Harvey is a Christian. Steve Harvey calls himself a man of faith.2

            As a man of faith, he proclaimed there is more than one way to heaven.3 He said, “"There's no one way to Heaven, no one way to paradise,” Harvey declared. “It's like television, now there's [sic] over 800 channels on cable, and they're all pretty entertaining. So I'm pretty sure that to get to Heaven, there's got to be more than one route. Because somebody watching another channel or taking another channel than you, they're still getting entertained, and they probably still getting to Heaven.””4

            This blatantly contradicts an essential Historic Christian tenet that belief in the Lord Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven (John 14:6, Acts 4:12).

            If Steve Harvey is a Christian, does he not know his Bible?

            Alternatively, if Steve Harvey calls himself a Christian, he could be a Progressive Christian.

            Progressive Christians, under the pretext of religious tolerance, believe that all religions lead to heaven. (Hence, those subscribing to Historic Christianity do not believe that progressive Christians would go to heaven.)

            Many people listen to Steve Harvey for his counsel on many matters. If you are one of those, be sure that Steve’s counsel need not be predicated on the Historic Christian tenets. In other words, Steve Harvey’s counsel need not necessarily be based on Biblical principles.

            So be careful when you listen to Steve Harvey.  

            If you wonder why all religions cannot lead us to heaven or God, then please read my blog entitled Three Reasons Why All Religions Do Not LeadTo God Or Heaven.”5
