Jesus said: I am the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to the father but by me.
That is truth for the four minute miler and the non four minute miler.
He said "no man comes to the Father but by me." That means there are not 44 ways to God. Not through any other.
The apostle Peter clearly understood this when he declared in his sermon in Acts: Salvation comes no other way, no other name has been or will be given to us by which we can be saved, only this one.
So your "argument" is with Jesus, not Dan, not me, nor anyone else. Jesus was on strong ground because he fulfilled all the Old Testament prophecies about the perfect blood sacrifice (without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sin).
C.S. Lewis said re. Jesus: "He was either who said he was or a lunatic on the level of a poached egg. No alternative is open to us."
When you read the sermon on the mount for example, it is obvious he is no lunatic!!!
Selective "weeding of scripture" makes us God. And none of us qualify to pick and choose our way through Jesus' words. The apostle Paul declared in his letter to Timothy that All scripture is given by inspiration of God....
Wishing you a fantastic day and a hint from a songwriter to:
"Turn you eyes upon Jesus
Look full in his wonderful face
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of his glory and grace.
