Sometimes we are afraid to say "we have a monopoly on salvation." It does not sound good. God has a monopoly on salvation. And he did indeed provide a way for all mankind to be saved. That way is Jesus Christ. Jesus said, "I am the way the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John wrote that he that does not believe the Son shall be condemned. In the latter part of Mark, it is written that Jesus said that whoesoever believes and is baptized shall be saved, but whosever DOES NOT BELIEVE SHALL BE CONDEMNED. You can agree with him or disagree, but God wanted a way for men to reach him, and Jesus is that Way.
