Is there more than one path to heaven?
Christians insist there is only one way to heaven, as salvation is associated with believing in Jesus Christ – nothing or no one else. The foundation of their evangelistic 
mission is declaring that Jesus is THE way, and all other religions are counterfeit and dangerously deceived. The world calls this a controversy despite the Bible revealing that God has never been tolerant of other religions. One of the most common outcries within the realm of

Thoughts on dogs
Dear Editor,
Here are some thoughts on dogs.
Dogs don’t ask you why you look the way you do. Dogs don’t criticize you for your faults — they love you in spite of them. Dogs don’t take sides — they are faithful to you through good and bad.
Dogs follow no political party and don’t care who you support. Dogs ask only for you to accept their affection. Dogs appropriate any love shown to them, no matter how much
What is salvation, and who will be saved?
There are a mixture of Biblical interpretations about eternal salvation, including the idea that Jesus will save everyone.
This concept is traced back to the most popular verse in the Bible, as John 3:16 states that God so loved the “world” that he gave his only son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.” At first glance, it may seem that Jesus is a Savior who rescues the entire world from doom, but it’s crucial to take a closer look, as we understand that everlasting life is conditional upon

Get in gear, boy
Proverbs 4:1-5 “Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding. For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law. For I was my 
father’s son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother. He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live. Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.”
Daddy made statements that still ring in my ears and quickly get my attention. One was “I always know where to find my tools; they’re

through good and bad.
Dogs follow no political party and don’t care who you support. Dogs ask only for you to accept their affection. Dogs appropriate any love shown to them, no matter how much or how little. Dogs would give their lives for you. Dogs’ love is unconditional.
Dogs listen when you speak, never carrying your words to others. To which I add to the little smart alecks out there I know they can’t talk! A man speaks because he has something to say. A fool speaks because they have to say something — Plato.
Dogs never laugh at you or your mistakes, never criticize you and truly care when you are hurting. Dogs are a blessing from God.
Dogs are happy when you are happy. Dogs grieve when you grieve. Even lick the tears from your eyes should you cry. Dogs stay closer than a family member.
Dogs, truly only God could love you more!
These are a few things that are the main differences between dogs and humans. Dogs also are a good thing to have if you live alone. They can hear things a human can’t. Dogs can detect evil. If you meet someone and your dog doesn’t want to have anything to do with them, beware! A person, especially a woman, who lives alone should have a small dog. They will growl if they hear someone or something outside.
Best to look out the window if they start growling. A barking dog, even a little one, can cause a crook to pause, because they know dogs no matter the size will bite! The best friend on earth that you will ever have.

Skimmer scams
Scammers are creative, you have to give them that. They come up with ways to steal from us that we’ve never thought about.
One new alleged scam involves a task we do frequently: pump gas into our car.
This scam has the thief inserting a tiny screw into the cradle where the nozzle rests on the pump. When you let go of the handle after pumping your gas and put it back

Veteran discounts
A re you taking advantage of the discounts available to you as a veteran? Discounts let 
you keep cash in your wallet, and there are more deals out there than you might imagine.
One of my favorites is the 10 percent discount from Lowe’s and Home Depot. With summer, there are always projects, always a new hardware item or tool I need, and that discount helps. As an FYI, there’s no limit to how many discounts I can get at Lowe’s, but there is an annual limit at Home Depot. (I’ve

Joe Sullivan thanks local voters
Dear Editor,
I would like to thank everyone in Clemson and in particular those who voted in the primary election last week. It is the first time I ever ran for anything, so I was truly humbled by the election victory.
I also want to thank the Pickens County Courier for its election coverage of my race and all the elections, as this newspaper works hard to inform voters and strengthen our
