I'm no "follower of Jesus" in the traditional sense, but if I was to follow it with the phrase "No one comes to the Father except through me", I would perhaps be justified in doing so. After all, it fits the sort of Riddle grammar, doesn't it? "I am X, Y is me" where X and Y do not necessarily tie specifically to the identity of the speaker.
To repeat this myself is to give a description of Jesus's highest ideal; that one's approach to God is driven by letting our ethical decisions, our intellectual enquiries and our willingness to engage with the world around us be driven by love for him/her/it. It is the unity of the three criteria for journeying with God that is the emphasis, not the identity of the speaker.

This is a subject that has been raging since the death and rebirth of Jesus Christ.
Why must I ask you, would a follower of Jesus say the same exact thing that Jesus himself would have said, after all Jesus is only the second Godhead of God himself.
People will continue to rage over if God truly does exist or not until all man kind is wiped off of the face of the earth, and the planet itself doth no longer exist.
Then and Only then, will they truly know what is after death.
Let them all beleive what they must, but eventually, all man will bow wether they truly wish to or not.
Jugement is coming brothers and sisters, you will kneel before the face of God... And he shall judge you.

No one say the same thing, but lots of persons thought that he said that beacause he's The Lord, but Jesus isn't the Lord, he was send by The Lord in order to repar the desaster on Earth.
He can't be The Lord because he was born from an human (Marie).Is a Lord borned after his mother?That his mother a Lord too?

No not exactly right. That is who and what Jesus is, we are suppose to show who He is by are actions become more like his.
This is why.
Are you a good person? What a question, most of us believe that we are good people because we can look around and find someone that is far worse than we are. We can always point to the things that we think make us a good person.
But how good are we really? Dare we take this test and look at ourselves and see if we really are good? Hmmm.
If you are willing try this and see just how good a person you are.
The Good Person Test.
How will you do? Pass or fail?
Have you ever told a lie?
Doesn't matter how big or small, just a lie.
What does that make you? Before answering think about this, if I told you a lie what would you call me? A liar?
Have you ever stolen anything? Cost doesn't matter, a piece of gum, failed to give back an ink pen that you borrowed, anything.
What does that make you?
Jesus said, "You know the saying of old, you shall not commit adultery but I say that if look at someone to lust after them you have committed adultery in your heart.
Have you ever lusted?
Jesus said that hate is equal to murder.
Have you ever hated anyone?
See one day we all are going to stand before a Holy God on Judgment Day and he is going to judge us based on His Holy Law, the Ten Commandments. These are just 4 of them and how did you do? Guilty? I have broken all of these and more, what about you? How well will you do on Judgment Day?
If we break just one point of God's Law we are guilty of breaking all the law and Gods Wrath abides upon us all. Based on God's Law we are all guilty and all are deserving of punishment. But there is an out for us.
Jesus paid the price for each one of us, took on himself God's Wrath so we wouldn't have to face it on our own. Jesus was beaten, battered, bleed and died so we wouldn't have to face God's Wrath. He rose again so that we would life in his presence. Our crimes, His payment.
The real question is where will you stand on Judgment Day. Pay yourself or have it paid for you. Think about it.

NO, because only Jesus can show u the way to enter heaven not man. Its either His way or a free pass to Hell.

No, because they are not Jesus.
But the more I read up on what Jesus said, I'm thinking he didn't go to Grammer School....
Just kidding, he meant well, bless him!

I'm an atheist and even I know the answer to this. Jesus said that because he was 'the son of god' - so only he could say it.
