Christian KellyJay wouldn't do it on Thread 177715
And now Christian Eladar seemingly can't do it on this thread.
How many more Christians will there be who are not willing to pin down their precise beliefs pertaining to John 14:6 by defining the actual and explicit meaning of these words?

John 14:6: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me."
What precise meanings or definitions do you attach to the words "way" and "comes to" and "through" in this verse?
Jesus declared no one comes to the Father but through Him.
Jesus also said that He was the life.
This verse centers on Jesus being the one we need to come to the Father and He draws
a line saying no one comes to God except through Him.
Without Jesus therefore no one comes to the Father, though they may try.

What precise meanings or definitions do you attach to the words "way" and "comes to [The Father]" and "through [Me]" in this verse?

The core principles of Christianity resonate evreywhere.
It is a shame that JC's name has been hijacked by the ignorant

If we are not limiting our approach to God through Jesus we will not come to God.
Jesus didn't say He was telling us about a way to God, He made it personal, He is the Way.

is how you do it? No, He limited the Way by claiming He was it, only through Him can
anyone reach the Father.

answer these questions since you don't know what they mean I guess.
