The most misunderstood quote
I was born into a roman catholic household....I never felt that the church really tried to teach in a way that the common man may try to comprehend it.
when I was young the Mass was in latin......a dead language for the most part..
what purpose did that serve?...is not "education" one of the main purposes of gathering together?...was I to learn latin to understand the rituals involved, to actually hear the words spoken in the language of the times?
They lost me at 8 years old....even still...through Grace ...I do have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus...despite the church and it's inability to relate to me, and others like me.
In my own pursuit of God I have come to worship many whom others called God by a different name...put before me ANY of the various names of God and I will worship them.....providing that, Love and tolerance are chief among it's tenets.

"I am the only way...none can get to the father except through me"
( if not the exact quote ..you know what I mean)
Most Christians hang their hat on this one ....I've heard this hundreds of times
I've yet to meet one who truly understood what that really means
Do you think that Jesus said these words as the personality of Jesus...the son of the carpenter?....he did not
That utterance of Jesus was made from the standpoint of universal consciousness
The ONLY way is contact with the universal self...not the individual self..and that was what Jesus was expounding on...
Again another paraphrase by Jesus...
if you believe on me...than I will take you to myself......
(don't get hung up on the words ....grasp the gist)
this must be contemplated on...to imbibe it
Take no offense here.....none is intended...I will not argue..believe what you will
Love

He did say it, but was speaking in the third person. 'No one comes to the Father (God) except through me' (Christ = Christ Consciousness = Love Consciousness). A variation on the inspiration and guiding light of all true mystics, that love alone unites the soul with God.
