What I wonder is if that "One way" is limited to the Christian faith. For example, those who claim that "I" or "I Am" is the Way of Life without having mention of Jesus (though they do consistently quote Him) - can we conclude without error that what they say is untrue? Jesus said that "I am the way." Keyword: "I." So "I" is the "way" - which is what some of these so-called "enlightened" individuals claim. Whether or not there's any truth to it, I wouldn't know, but it's hard not to see the similarities and at least question the authenticity of what they say. Funny thing, too, is that the one guy I always listen to online, said that he received this "Life" by the laying-on of the hands - which, again, brings yet another similarity into the equation. Is it all there to cause confusion, or have they also tapped into the essence of what Jesus was truly trying to relay to us?
To me, at this point in my faith, it -seems- as if people are speaking about the same things, but I assume that the confusion comes into play when different names and titles and words are used. It's like if America called Sunday, Sunday and Europe called Sunday, Doorway, such a difference in names would cause a divide between groups, all the while no one realizing that they are all pointing to the same, exact Truth: the first day of the week. Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know, but I'd be lying if I said that the similarities didn't intrigue me.
