Jesus was the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father except by the Word. The Word was the light that shines in the darkness. What was the Word. That ye should honor God and love your neighbor as yourself. Any religion that teaches the Word but had another prophet would be coming to the Father through Jesus, the Word, manifested in human form to the Hebrews but all proclaimed by Moses, Buddha, Confuscius, Sequoia, and any other who proclaimed that love is all. A humble love that does justice and shows mercy.
