Title: Only through Jesus to get to God? Post by: Skyreacher on July 30, 2003, 08:28:30 PM I was recently reading literature that had the quote, "No one comes to the Father except through me". And I have, for a long time, believed this to be true. And the basis for a true Christian faith. Simply said you must have faith in Christ and believe in His existance {death, resurection, alive today}, and you cannot get to God, Heaven, Afterlife, without going through Jesus first.
But my Mother heard me saying this, and challenged me. She said "Oh really? Show me where this is stated in the Bible! Now I am dumbfounded and cannot find this passage! I had thought around John 14:16 or something. The whole of the passage went something like this: Jesus speaking - red letter; "I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me". Please help me prove my Mother wrong or at least find my mistake!!! Help Help ??? Title: Re:Only through Jesus to get to God?

You are correct, the verse you seek is in the beautiful 14th Chapter of John, verse 6: 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. Everthing after the first comma is "red letter", the words of Jesus Christ. Title: Re:Only through Jesus to get to God?

" Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is none other name given in heaven or earth whereby we must be saved." (Acts) "If you believe not that I am He, you shall die in your sins," Title: Only through Jesus to get to God?

Therefore, there is no spiritual blessing whatsoever but those blessimgs given in Christ.
