Explain why or why not.
Of course Jesus is the only way the truth and the life and no one can come to the Father but through Jesus.

This is why all mankind will be saved because they will all come to the Father through Him (see Romans 5:18,19; 1 Timothy 2:4-6; Philippians 2:8-11; 1 John 2:2 to name but a few).

I'm Christian but I believe there are other ways. I believe that those who have never heard or have heard but are in circumstances that prevent them from acting on what they've heard can indeed find their way. It's faith that is required. You don't have to know the details of how the bill is paid to know the bill is paid.

Salvation is found in three (3) places: Christ (2 Tim. 2:10), the church (Acts 2:47), and the word of God (John 6:68). But all these work together as one.

Yes, I believe this because Jesus is the only mediator that is between God and man, and He is the lamb that was slain for the sins of the world, the only lamb that was slain. He is the only begotten God, the son of God, the gift of God to the world, and through Him we are all reconciled to the Father. He said that no one comes to the Father but through Him.

11"He is the STONE WHICH WAS REJECTED by you, THE BUILDERS, but WHICH BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone. 12"And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved." Acts 4:11, 12(NAS, caps from translation)

God bless.

Default Jesus Christ IS the Savior of His people...

..."I am the Good Shepherd...giving His life for His sheep"...His true Christians...He acted as our substitute...His mission was to save His people from their sin, without Him as Lord of your life, you are lost forever...and it doesn't matter if you believe that He is your redeemer or not...it doesn't change one iota...one tittle...what the truth is...Hallelujuah!!....What a Savior!!....What a friend we have in Jesus...Thank you precious Jesus...I love you!!

True believers are God's workmanship.

True Love is found in the Lord Jesus Christ...there is no greater Love...His Love being the Chief Hallmark for a Christian...

I will rejoice in the Lord...the God of my salvation...Neh. 10...For the joy of the Lord is my strength!!

Hebrews...without faith in Jesus it is impossible to please God...!!!!

Blessed be the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!! AMEN!!

Jesus was perfect and satisfied the Fathers wrath which is his Righteousness. Because what ever the righteousness of God condemns justice of God has no choice to execute. Jesus full filled this as being a true human and a arbitrator Because he was God man the uniquely born one. To be an arbitrator you have to have both sides and be impartial He was God and then he was man.

I believe it because Jesus Himself said it in the verse that you quoted, which is found in 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." Just like my husband has said many times in his sermons, Jesus is not A way, He's not A GOOD way, He's not even THE BEST way, He is THE ONLY way!
