or was Jesus lying to everyone when he said "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." - John 14:6

Only one friend,and why would Jesus lie, what have you ever read about him to think that he could lie, he is the most truthful,compassonate, forgiving person in the whole history of the world.
His road is not easy, it means personal sacrifice and thats why few want to walk it, and yet it is nevertheless, the only one.

There are no roads to heaven. Thats the truth. No Roads.
but there is a way. the mystical way.
Jesus was partially wrong. certainly 100% wrong. when he said, "no one comes to the father except through me".
many people before jesus came has reached the ultimate. probably jesus was not aware of that. they all chose a way different. every one had a different way. each way led to the ultimate god. awareness is important. you can reach god without even moving a bit, god reaches you in an instant.

What Jesus said is that no one comes to the Father except through him (which means through repenting your sins). Jesus was brought here as a way for us to rid ourselves of sin. If we do that we sit with the father.
But I believe there are many ways to get there after dying. You die, your soul moves to another plane, you see your life pass before you (to see what you learned and growth), you meet your loved ones who are already there (they great you with open arms), and then you go to the level that will help you in more growth. You chart a new course with the goal of becoming holy like God. Our souls are eternal and God is our maker.
Earth is just a learning experience for growth of our soul.
So yes, we should strive to be JUST LIKE JESUS as he was a holy man, he was our example of God Child.

Jesus was saying follow my example.
There is no way to say do what I do in Aramaic.
The best translation from Aramaic to English is I am the way. This has been misinterpreted to mean that there is only one way. This is an idea based on ignorance of God not knowledge.
God provided as many ways home as there are people needing ways to get there.
love and blessings Don

Only one, but we do tend to put in some extra curves along the way.

Lets not forget that the bible was in THIRD PERSON and not first person. it whould be like me writing about your life story and putting my own thoughts and emotions into what i say about you.

Jesus never lied. It is the interpreters and translators who CLAIM they know what Jesus said who are...confused?
There are MANY paths to 'God'.

There are many roads to Heaven. "God," in whatever form he/she/it takes, is too large to be put inside of one religion.
