Jesus said....?
"I am the way the truth and the life, no man can come unto the Father except by me...", Seeing how jesus made this statement how can anyone think there is any other way to God?

Like always, only works if you believe in Jesus to begin with.
Anyone believes I am messiah, I could tell them the same thing.
Then we can have a religious war.
Jesus is the only way to god because he said so? So if I said that giving me lots of money was the only way to find perfect spiritual balance would you believe me?
Why is what Jesus is meant to have said more reliable?
I am the way, the truth, and the life, and no man comes to the Father except through me.
There, now I'm the Messiah. Obviously, the only way to God is through me. I said it, so how can you think there's any other way?
How can I think that?
Well, for one thing, Jesus didn't say it to you - Someone wrote it in an incredibly old book, then translated it later.
It has no credibility, because he gives no proof, and without the validity of this statement, he is no authority on the subject.
Because, once you eliminate the super-natural from the equation, dome fear, retribution and possibly hate will leave you.
It is your duty in life to give me ten billion dollars.
Seeing how I made that statement, how can you think there is any other way?
It's easy, CH. You see, I don't believe in God nor do I believe in the biblical Jesus. That someone named Jesus may have said "I am the way the truth and the life, no man can come unto the Father except by me..." is irrelevant.
Easy, they find the holy spirit. according to Christianity there is three beings in one god: father,son, and holy spirit. that would be the loophole to that argument I think.
Quite easily. As has been pointed out, if you don't believe Jesus = God, it's a piece of cake.
But even if you do ... (deep breath, Cynthia darling: what follows is all, like, book-larnin' an' shit) only fundies actually trust the gospel of John, when it comes to the Jesus quotes. You'll notice a distinct disparity between John (an extremely latter-day creation) and the synoptics. Now, without lacerating your spiritual wrists with Occam's razor, posit an hypothesis as to why that might be...
He also said "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you."
Seeing how jesus made this statement how can anyone think they are alive?
Unless they want to say something like "Eat my flesh means persecute your gay neighbours". (I note that many "Bible is literally true" Fundies do think that.)
I am the plate, the sauce, and the pasta, no man can come to the Flying Spaghetti Monster except by me.
Seeing how I made this statement how can anyone think there is any other way to the FSM? I mean, I wouldn't lie to you guys, or just be zonked out of my gourd.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
