The Revelation of : 'My Way is the Only Way'
Posted : 10 Apr, 2011 10:02 AM

What does it reveal when a person says or has the attitude 'My way is the only way'. The Catholics, Calvinists, Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses, and the Muslims say you are at risk of going to hell if you don't believe as them, with the exception on the Muslims, they will do their best to send you to hell.

Now a observant reader might say, 'Hey, hold on, don't we who profess Jesus as the only way do the same thing?'....Did Jesus say "My way is the only way"?...No. Jesus said 'I AM the way'....No one comes to the Father except through me. Therefore it is important that we preach Jesus, not doctrine; my way isn't the way, Jesus IS the way.

This is where the world sees its chance to be more Godly than God by being fair, equal and tolerant to all by professing there are many paths to God. To this I must agree, however every path to God goes through Jesus.

So to answer the question: What does it reveal when a person says 'My way is the only way'? To me it reveals they are not focused on Jesus who said "I AM the way"

What does it reveal to you?

Or, other comments and things I left out?

Additions, corrections, insults?....lol

Two - What does it reveal when a person says or has the attitude 'My way is the only way'.

Ryan - Actually Christianity does this period when Jesus says He is the only way. You are picking a denominations and other religions when your own does this as well.



Two - Now a observant reader might say, 'Hey, hold on, don't we who profess Jesus as the only way do the same thing?'....Did Jesus say "My way is the only way"?...No. Jesus said 'I AM the way'.



Ryan - Guess what you are saying when you say, I am the only way? You are also saying my way is the only way. Jesus is laying out what 'HIS WAY' is and saying that is the only way. Surely you see this.



Two - Therefore it is important that we preach Jesus, not doctrine; my way isn't the way, Jesus IS the way.

Ryan - Jesus being the only way is a doctrinal truth. You speak of doctrine as if evil. Truth doctrine is nothing other than truth.

Ryan - It depends what their way is. Now, I don't think they should say the actual words 'My way is the only way', but if their way is THE WAY, then it's not wrong either.

Ryan it is and will always be wrong to even breath any such word, any tag man puts on their doctrine it is a tool of Satan to keep people from the word of God, the truth. Jesus will never agree with any doctrine of man, and the more any doctrine is proclaimed to be the way, you will find it to be far from the truth, in otherwords doctrines of devils.



Ryan do you know that some even proclaim doctrines of Grace, well there are none in the bible, grace is a vital, relevant truth, but without faith man will never access the grace of God.

Ryan,

Thank you for your well thought out answer. It reveals the exact dividing point between us. You see Jesus a 'bringing us the way', while I see Jesus 'as the way'. Dont think this is a play on words, or a subtle meaningless difference for it is the difference between a realtionship with a doctrine and a relationship with the person of Jesus.

The same difference between a woman falling in love with your profile and falling in love with you.

I just can't seem to separate the two. Just because I say Jesus' way is the only way, doesn't mean I don't see Him as the way as well. I can do both. I don't agree that falling in love with a profile and falling in love with the person is truly analogous in this instance.

Pr 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.



He is the way, the truth, the life, that will never change.



He is the way, the truth, and the life unto those that believe he is.

Believing Christ is the only way and that He is also the way: One is death, one is life
