According to the Christian Scriptures,
It is only through Jesus. The Evangelical and Catholic Bibles say that Jesus said, "I am the Way, the truth and the life. There is no way to the Father in Heaven, but through Me!"
It all depends what Scriptures and what teachings you believe and follow as truth.
And whom you follow as The Way and The Truth!
Every Religion has its way to God or as some say to obtain enlightenment !!
You might want to take a course in The World Religions which is offered quite inexpensively at most community colleges. College Professors that teach these courses have studied the subject of "World Religions" for years and teach them with an open mind without judgements toward any religion!!
This is the quickest way to acquire truthful information, or else all these different religions out there will try to sway you to believing exactly they do according to "their" scriptures.
Pray and Meditate on it, then make your decision if you are seeking.

Nowadays you have Christian groups who tell you to walk through mazes or conduct some crazy ritual,or God forbid tell you to send in your money and you will get closer to God.
First things first,you must believe in Him.Second you must believe in Jesus Christ.His birth,his death,and his resurrection.
Confess to Jesus with total conviction in your heart verbally in prayer that you are a sinner and that you want him to save you from a devil's hell.Hell wasn't meant for us,but for Satan and his demon's.He is still walking the earth seeking whom he can devour.That might explain why the world is so screwed up.
Confess with thy mouth,and thou shall be saved.
Blessed are the ones who have not seen me.Jesus said that to his disciples before he ascended into Heaven.Jesus knew all those years ago that man would struggle with belief.It's human nature to not believe what they can't see.If the human brain was strong enough,we would see all kinds of activity going on in the spirit world.Jesus knew that the people who had never seen him must have faith.That is why Peter,the very one who denied him three times when the Romans came made a total 180 when Jesus came to him after the resurrection.When Peter was executed,he told them to crucify him upside down,because he was not worthy of dying in the same manner as Jesus.
That my friend is a pretty compelling testimony.

MY HOUSE HAS MANY MANSIONS
I believe through our own mind /heart we find our way to spirituality .
i feel like anyone who claims they KNOW the way and it is only their way has a real problem .
only a couple of things to remember is to love as often and as much as you can and continually try to be a decent loving human being ......
rightousness is through trying and having faith and putting the best that you can out there every day ,filling a need when you see it and it is in the small things [a smile ,letting someone go before you in traffic or the shopping center ,working at your job in a loving manner and a happy spirit ,being thankful for all the things you have .
sounds rather simple dont you think ???but how many really apply or work towards the things of the spirit/God !
try it it makes for a happy life and good things come and the path to God is for all who TRY to be loving and help and be good for something .

1!!!!
The person who quoted Jesus from Mark was taking that scripture WAY out of context. Jesus was saying that by human ways it is impossible for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, but that it was possible through God.
The person who quoted John 14:6 ("I am the way, the truth, and the life, and noone comes to the Father, except through me") Put the emphasis on the wrong word. It should be " I am THE way, the truth, and the life, and noone comes to the Father except through ME"

For each individual person, there is either one way or no way. Multiply that by the number of people on earth and it is either 6,364,576,978 ways to God or zero ways.
Unless you have been inside your house for so long that you don't notice that there are other people in the world, in which case it goes back to zero or one.

One way to God and it is clear. The only way to God is through Jesus Christ. "For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son. That whoever believe in Him will not parish but have everlasting life." This means if you believe in Jesus and that he died for our sins you will not die but your life after death will continue in heaven where you will appear righteous before God. There are many verses that pertains to this. This one is the most popular. Have a lovely day!

1 way - Jesus. It was made very clear by God.
John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

There is but one way to the Father and that is through the Son. You can only be saved through Jesus Christ. He is the only way. You don't even have to look for Him. He's done everything that needs to be done. All you have to do is accept His gift and have faith in Him.

ONE way- Through Jesus Christ:
"I am the only WAY, TRUTH and LIFE, no one comes to the Father but through Me" -John 14:6
Acts 4:12
Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
