One way!
June 9, 2012 at 1:59 pm
Jesus Christ alone said that He is the only way to heaven and to a right relationship with God. Jn 14 : 6 "I am the way the truth and the life, no-one comes to the Father except through me."
Obviously not a popular claim, but nonetheless it is exclusive to Him, for no other world religion/historical religious leader has, or can make this claim.
Why do you think that this is the case?

Amen brother! No religious leader in the history of the world has ever claimed to have a direct line to the Lord or to be a god on this earth or that salvation only comes from following his religion.
Obviously, since Jesus made that claim, and we know he did because it's in the Bible, it must be true. After all, he's God incarnate and he wouldn't lie. And since he wouldn't lie, he must be God incarnate.
Praise!

Marketing ploy.
"Jesus" is as full of shit as your average used car salesman.

Bullshit. Anyone could claim they are the pathway to paradise. I'll do it now; to get to heaven, you'll have to worship me daily, by rubbing cheese on your neighbours' face.

By God, you worship "Cheesus".

This is patently untrue. Used car salesmen do in fact have actual cars to sell you.

Why do you think that this is the case?
When says he is the way to God, what does it mean exactly? Believing in him or following him are both neither him.
Why can't it mean that he is GOODNESS and that the way to God is through goodness and no one can come towards God but through goodness?
Why can't belief in Jesus just mean belief in God and why can't believe in God encompass belief in goodness (since God is goodness).
Just throwing it out there - that perhaps you can interpret the bible to include others.

...because you Christians say so? You believe yours is the only true religion and you are the elect chosen race and magic man's chosen people? Of all the possible religions you happened to pick the right one. How very convenient for you. For you, and all the elect chosen race religions out there.

Religion: It tells you that you're hell bound, a sinner, evil and faulty.
Sells you an imaginary cure to a problem that isn't there. To have this cure you are to join a religious group and believe without evidence, to take it all on faith.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
