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.

If the Bible helps you to be a good person and true to yourself, let us celebrate that.

"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. "
Well you'd be a copycat, playing it safe and learning nothing directly from the "Great Spirit" for yourself.

One size does not fit all, even if we are all made of the same "stuff" .

Zen stories are characterized by the individual way all the masters "got there", without copying anyone and blazing their own trail

Jesus said, " I am the way". Quote from the opposing sources that you say guarantee eternal life.
