Jesus the only way?
I’m really really uncomfortable with the concept of Jesus claiming to be the one and only way to God. What about all the people who never hear of him? What about all the people who lived before him–like Moses, Elijah, Joshua, etc.? It seems to me we could attract a lot more people into the “fold” if we didn’t turn them off first by claiming it’s our way or the highway.

You’re not alone. I’d just like to point out, though, that when Jesus made that statement, He wasn’t drawing a line in the sand, He was making a statement of fact. His “Way” really IS the only way. I address this topic in detail in the first chapter of my book, The 11 Day Path–Overcoming Stumbling Blocks to Belief.
