Dena,
You wrote,[...the only way...].
Now when I was in jr. high school , we were all directed to the gym and there was a team of medical people. We were told that there is now a vaccine to prevent polio and we were all going to get a shot. When it was my turn, I asked the doctor if I could skip the shot , and do it another way, for I had an aversion to needles. He said that this was [the only way] to prevent one from getting polio. I believed him, and took the shot.
Now one point that I would like to make here is that I took the shot because [I believed him].
Could you clarify what some of the things are in your life that enables you to [believe] that [...jesus is the only way to the father...?]. If you could, then I could have a better understanding of the confidence that you have in what you believe and be better able to discuss this here. Please feel free to decline my request without comment and I will not consider your declination to be any admission to anything.
Best regards,
Lou
