There were no ways, and God designed a way. Religion is man's attempt to reach God. Jesus is God's attempt to reach man.
Some would say, "saved from what?" They don't see the bigger picture. It's like kayaking down a river. One can't see the Falls coming up and doesn't realize the people yelling and waving their hands at them are attempting to save their lives. They can listen...or they can go over the Falls.
Mankind, in the first Adam, lost a great deal through the Fall. He gained knowledge, but this knowledge is not Real knowledge...it is a split into dualities...good and evil. Mankind, in the second Adam, is restored. Each Adam has a destiny. The one you are connected to determines yours.

There is no other way to be saved only by the blood of Jesus , he suffered to much for us to settle for any thing less,and when he died he left us a gift his holy spirit ,and that was a promise ,Ive seen the Holy spirit passed down through my family and each spoke in tongues I was amazed when I recived it too! Jesus keeps promises!

You mean, like all those other people that were crucified in Rome? Crucifixion was the penalty for being a traitor to Rome. And there were plenty of those.
And could you show me where Jesus himself says that it is his death that saves? I believe he says to repent, be baptized and to follow his commandments. And anywhere that I have read where someone outright asks him how to be saved, he talks about doing "works"... such as a rich man giving away all of his money to the poor, etc.....

The bible says that the wages that sin pays is death, so he carried all our sins on his back and he was the only sacrifice that God accepted. Jesus always spoke and so did his diciples as being being a slain lamb that was sacrificed and when the jews sacrificed a lamb the throat had to be cut and the blood had to run out of it.

Good point.
There is no other way (Acts 4:10-12, John 3:16).

Jesus apparently suffered because those in power during his time, felt that if he didnt he would gain more control than they would ever hold over the jewish people.

There was no other way. Remember in the garden when Jesus prayed that if it were possible that this cup be taken from Him. there was no other answer given.

To make a point. There are no other ways to accept Christ in your life but to accept Him.

He is THE way and only way.
Of course some will not believe this but honestly, it's their choice.

He didn't.
The Jesus story is a myth.
