Tracee Girl : "I am the way, the truth and the life, nobody comes to the Father except through me"?

Don't you think that this means someone will come ??

if Jesus wants to say that no one will come after him he will just say "I am the way, the truth and the life, nobody comes to the Father"

    In John 14, Thomas asked Jesus "Lord, we know not where you go, how can we know the way?" Jesus said to him, " I am the WAY the truth and the life. NO man can comes to the Father except through me.

    Jesus told Thomas how to get to the Father, he didn't speak of allah or any other deity, but only himself and anyone can come...but only through Him.

    I'm not sure that will answer your question...I hope so :)

    Remember the context. Jesus is speaking to His followers and He was answering a question. That question was, "how do we know the way?" and what you quoted was Jesus' response. Oh yes, many have come to Jesus already and many more will do so. Have you?

    Every thing God created, it was done through the Word(Jesus); there was nothing created or done, with out the word(Jesus), In the early days, no one could go directly to God, the people had to go to their priest, who would do offering to God for them, he was the between person. God so loved the world, He wanted cleansed of their sin, and be able to receive

    eternal life. God needed some one, pure of heart, free from all sin, could resist Satan's temptations, so he sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, pure of heart, full of grace totally without sin; to die and become mans scape goat' for all of our sins. There was no more need for a priest to do any more sin offerings for us, we now have Jesus as our High priest, setting at Gods throng, to intercede on our behalf; we can go directly to God in Jesus's name, and ask for forgiveness of our sins, or any thing,we want form God the Father.

    This was said by Buddha, Krishna, Osiris, Mithra, and many, many others LONG before Jesus. He's a copycat, apparently. No more valid than any of the others who said it before him.

    if Christ had wanted to say that someone WOULD came after Him, He would have simply said it! He was not given to silly word-games-He meant what He said, and said what He meant! it's only fallible humans looking for power or loopholes who put the spin on His words

    Gee, I must have missed the scientific documentation on this. Where is the document or eye-witness living today who proved your supposition?

    Old fairytales, written by men thousands of years ago is not fact, dear. It is fiction.
