jesus says i am the way, truth and life?

Question

as a christian lady i believe that its not jesus who made this claim. this was said by people who had their lives transformed by the love of jesus. i make the same claim , that jesus is my way, truth and life to eternity.
have i said it right?

Answer 1

You are incorrect. Jesus said, I Am (this was literally the name of the father) and said that no man comes before the Father but thru Him (Jesus) The Father holds eternity where Jesus sits at his right side. Jesus therefore is the key to the door that opens into the room of eternity.

Answer 2

No, you are misinformed. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the Father but by Me," (John 14:6). He was speaking to the 12 Apostles during the Last Supper, before Judas gave Him up to the authorities. Maybe that's where you got the idea of "this was said by people who had their lives transformed by the love of Jesus."

Answer 3

Mainstream Christianity has always misunderstood and misinterpreted the Lord s saying - ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life . And with good reason too, for it gave the Church, perpetual rights and authority over the common man s salvation. Which organisation wouldn t want that kind of power.

What He meant was completely different and I don t think mainstream Christianity is yet ready to understand or accept that truth. However for real seekers here s a clue - Jesus DIDN T refer to his person in the "I". He meant an deeper "I" identified as Atman.

So what is it going to be? A jump down the Rabbit hole or bad mouthing my blasphemy?

Answer 4

We find that in the Gospel of John, written at least sixty years after Jesus' death, thirty years after Paul's letters have circulated through the church, the well developed Christology of 90-100AD, along with other then historical events put into Jesus mouth as though he said them (a well-established literary technique of the region). Of course Jesus did not make these Christological statements about himself that appear in no other Gospel. The Jesus of the Synoptics came to preach the Kingdom of God, and the Synoptic writers presented Jesus as Messiah and explain how he could be Messiah without fulfilling the prophecies of Messianic restoration of Israel's golden age. The Jesus of John came to preach Jesus is God incarnate. Very different.

Answer 5

Have you ever heard of the "Seven I am's" that Christ said?

#1 John 6:35... I am the bread of life, he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
#2 John 8:12... I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
#3 John 10:9... I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
#4 John 10:11... I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
#5 John 11:12... I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live
#6 John 14:6... Jesus saith unto him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
#7 John 15:5... I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Answer 6

I pray you are not serious, that you are open at least to listening to others response concerning your posted question.
What you have just said or believe is that in ecumenicalism.
Where the bible is not literal, and that no matter what creed, religion we can all agree on Jesus, but not his words or teachings COMPLETELY. THAT IS , ADMIT THAT THE BIBLE IS WITHOUT ERROR.
HMMM. TITUS 1:2 God cannot lie.
Thy word o Lord is 4ever written in heaven. So, it was destined to be exact , and orchistrated to man by man through the Holy Ghost.
Read Galations 1:6-9
if you believe ANY other gospel- its a curse.
serious warning by Paul, mentioned back to back in these verses.
Godbless you as you seek the truth. Much love in Christ.

Answer 7

Close, but no cigar.

The Bible give credit to Jesus for the quote, as evidenced by the pronoun "me" a the end of the verse.

Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life for us all.

Answer 8

The Lord Says:

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

in Plain English!!!!!

Answer 9

I guess you don't care what the bible says, because that quote came straight from the mouth of Jesus (Matthew 14:6) not from you, whoever you are. Jesus meant that he was the way to the Father. What are you the way to?

Answer 10

here in is the subject nicely particularly it is your difficulty; you have listened to defective instructors and preachers. in case you're a Christian then you particularly grew to become one by using the convicting means of the Holy Spirit which you needed to ask for the forgiveness of your sins. those sins which you probably did in the physique in rebellion against God. however the right of that record replaced into no longer requesting the Salvation of your soul. Now in case you probably did repent of your sins and ask for the forgiveness of your sins then with the aid of faith in Christ's dying burial and resurrection you have been cleansed of your sins! God gave you new raiment! it is why at Easter new clothing replaced right into a convention representing what Easter meant an replace of your filthy rags of unrighteousness with the righteous clothing of Christ's vesture upon you. Then having been born of God you desire a 2nd better paintings it is termed the baptism with the Holy Spirit, and the crucifying of the sinful nature interior of you so as which you will placed to dying the works of the devil for that's what Christ got here to do - to break the devil's paintings in all of us that calls upon the call of the LORD.
