Christianity doesn't want Christians to know the History of Christianity. In 325 A.D. when The New Testament was compiled, Early Church Fathers decided which Gospels would be included and which Gospels would not. Excluded Gospels spoke of other ways to achieve Salvation. They don't want you to know about that because they put together the "Only through Jesus" dogma. Doesn't it make sense that God welcomes all righteous people into heaven? Why do you think that God has no problem with the existence of other religions if they accomplish bringing people to righteousness.? There is competition between the religions and every faith is mixed in with a little salesmanship.

I disagree. I have a very personal relationship with God that has nothing to do with Jesus. I have had two spiritual encounters with Jesus and never did he even suggest to me that he was the way. He taught me some very profound Truths, but he never commented on my relationship with God.
I believe that every person should have a direct relationship with God and that things always go wrong when one man tries to step in between. I love Jesus as a dear brother but I will never put him between myself and God. I think of Jesus as the messenger of Forgiveness. That is the way to God, or at least one way.

Oh of course I believe it! With all my heart! Jesus Christ is the only way to God-- the only one we can have salvation through. There is no one else under Heaven by which we must be saved as it says in Acts.
There is no other God but Jesus Christ- and there is no other way to be saved except through Him- He died on the cross and rose again- defeated death and covered our sins, so we could be set free, forgiven, washed clean! When we believe with our hearts, He is lord and that God raised him from the dead, we are saved! (Romans 10)
He is the ONLY way, the ONLY truth and the ONLY life. The Bible is God's Holy Word--- God breathed as it says in 2 Timothy. Hebrews 4 also says it is alive and active, knows the hearts of every person. I believe the Bible to be God's Word- God breathed, and the ONLY truth there is, is Jesus Christ! Praise God for His wonderful salvation!

No I don't,to believe that "quote" I would have to believe in a historically incorrect re-written edited book claiming to be the true words of some son of a god,yet with no evidence or proof of his and a gods existence barr what it says in a book,which is subjective and not objective in it's views and "facts"....

I agree that there is no way to God except through Jesus. Why? Because although I had abandoned him, he had not abandoned me. After 20 years of wandering in a spiritual wilderness the Holy Spirit tapped me on the shoulder, turned me around and presented the risen Christ. I had never realised that he died for ME - and for YOU. It was personal. Up front. Real. An eye-opener. In spite of all my protestations, my unbelief, my resistance, the good Lord broke through all my barriers and embraced me (spiritually speaking).
Others claim there are many roads to 'God', to heaven, to paradise, to salvation. Others claim it does not matter whom we worship, because 'God' is happy with whatever we do. We can earn our salvation, simply be being "good", by trying to do our best.
This is the thinking of men. This is how pride works. This is why humanity is in the mess it is in - because they have chosen to disregard what God tells us and attempt to justify their actions by their own feeble reasoning. No-one wants to bend the knee. No-one wants to admit they are wrong. So they justify their actions and their reasoning by insisting that if there was a God, he would accept whatever worship humans cared to put his way. Possibly be grateful. After all, we're far too busy these days to give more than a casual, token acknowledgement to a creator God. Hell (just a metaphor), isn't God supposed to be loving and forgiving? Let's take care of the here and now. The here and after? Too busy to spend time on that. There's money to earn, material posessions to collect, status and ego to satisfy. Perhaps tomorrow....?
Trouble is, God is also a Holy and a Righteous God. That's the bit people don't like. Stuff like 'vengance is mine' and 'I am the way, the truth, and the life' does not sit easily with people who think they know better. Yet they rail against God when things go wrong. They don't stop to think that the reason things go wrong is because humanity has turned its collective back on God and said, "We know better". Look where it's got us.
I haven't looked at the answers yet, but I suspect you will get loads of aggressive answers from people who do not accept this fundamental Christian principle. Wonder if any of them would be prepared to give their lives for the rest of sinful humanity? 'For God so loved the world he gave his only son so that all who believe in him might have everlasting life.' Note, not believe in someone else- believe in Jesus. Simple. Trouble is, in order to receive a gift, you have to empty your hands and accept. Not so simple.

I agree, either Jesus was what He claimed he was, or He was a madman.
There is no evidence that He was a madman, but even if a madman acted with the love, faultnessless, selflessness and compassion that this greatest man that ever lived showed, would be worth following him as the finest role model.

Scriptures were written decades after Jesus was crucified and who is to say the quote was even accurate. How many profound quotes you heard in the past two years can you recite word for word today?

no i don't disagree but it does not men pray through Jesus because that would be breaking the first law of commandments which is thou shall worship god alone. what it means is to follow Jesus teachings.

Jesus Christ was a great messenger of God and all Muslims love him and can't hear anything against him, including the fact that he never claimed to be God, and never asked trinity to exist. He was the way to God, the same way all other prophets were showing the way to God.
The hundreds of contradictions in bible and language itself clarifies that bible that exists today has many additions/ alterations by historians etc for different reasons.
Germine 8:8
How can you say, “we are wise, for we have the law of Lord,” when actually the pen of scribes has made it into a lie?
Bible is warning us don't take every word of bible as word of God, as scribes will turn it into a lie.
Ask any Bishop how we got today's bible, and the answer would be through scribes.
Jesus said:
A) Mark 12:29:
"the Lord our God, the lord is One"
B) Metthew: 26:39:
"He went a little farther and fell on His face and prayed"
Jesus prayed to one God
C) Matthew 4:10
"You shall worship the Lord, your God, and him only you shall serve"
Trinity was invented by Paul, an evolved concept in christianity, 200 years after Jesus, and that's how confused and divided the concept that Jesus preached. Word "son" was used in bible for general human beings and other prophets also.
Look at www.todayislam.com and discover what some most intellectual priests discovered., very interesting stories, makes me cry to see why God sent us here, and what we are doing.
