><>...''''but climbeth up some other way...><>
Jesus teaches that there is no other way to God or salvation.
If you say that Jesus is a good man and a good prophet, then you would naturally believe His words, and act on them. If you say you believe there are many ways to God, then you do not believe the words of Jesus. If you do not believe the words of Jesus then you must believe He is a liar. If you believe He is a liar then you cannot also believe that He is a good man or good prophet.
John 10:1-9
1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. 6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. 7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. |
