i am going to respectfully differ chocolate... i just cannot see Jesus being the only way and i have a number of reasons why, in my opinion, it is dangerous to believe so..

i will agree that to follow Jesus, the teachings of the Bible, etc, are "a" way to find God... but i disagree that it is the only way...

i sense that ideaology is an invention of man, humans, and therefore, imperfect... if an individual thought in a mans head is once removed from God... how many steps removed are 1000 thoughts?.... one million thoughts? how many thoughts are in the Bible?

the potential for misinterpretation is astounding and happens and happens in ways which have caused harm... the proof is in the news... and in body counts..

the same applies for those who are accused of misinterpreting the Koran or the books of Dante or of Jung ...

youve spoken of essence of spirit... i believe words fail to describe and beyond, toxify the esssence.. and ideaologies even more so...

imo God exists in a simple flower bud... seen with the eye, not read with the mind... imo
