Logical analysis of "all roads lead to God": three possible meanings, two incoherent

Stop Saying All Roads Lead to God! 00:06:10 – 00:08:10

Winger begins systematic dismantling of the primary slogan

The phrase can mean three things: (1) All religions actually work on their own terms — they successfully get adherents to God/heaven; (2) No religion works but everyone ends up with God anyway regardless of beliefs; (3) All roads lead to God in the sense that everyone will stand before God at judgment. Winger argues meanings 1 and 2 are nonsense; only meaning 3 is coherent and actually true, grounding it in Hebrews 9:27 (appointed unto man once to die, then judgment).
