He did say that whoever loved the Lord God with all heart, mind and soul, and love your neighbor as yourself you have fulfilled all the commandments. But He did not say that would bring eternal life. what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life ? And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness. Honor thy father and [thy] mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go [and] sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come [and] follow me." Secondly , Jesus (Pbuh) goes on to answer the questioner on how to achieve eternal life, and in his answer he only mentions the keeping of the Commandments. He does not mention belief in the crucifixion, he does not mention blood atonement, he does not mention believing that Christ is God. None of them are mentioned.
