Imagine how much better your life would be if you were on the path Jesus Christ walked. It's the only path that guarantees eternal life.

And if they make contradictory claims on how to get there they are either all false or believe it or not one of them may actually be true.

"guarantees"
You sound like a salesman.
I don't believe in any guarantees except maybe physical death.

"Imagine how much better your life would be if you were on the path Jesus Christ walked. "
