    When Jesus said; I am the way the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the Fatherbut by Me...what did Jesus really mean when saying these words? Did he say thesewords so that the people in the world should separate themselves from others who dontbelief in him? Is saying this statement a contradiction to what He is trying to convey ashis main message ...to love...love for God and another...because by claiming that He is

    the one and only way to God, he is, when interpreted at face value introducing aseparation theology...separate yourselves from them that do not think I am the only wayto God...Is that Love? Isnt the idea of love to become one and united? How can one loves one anotherwhen you are decreed to put walls of separation? Is this a contradiction or is itinterpreted without looking beyond at what he is trying to tell the world? Throughout history this and other sayings of Jesus had been interpreted andimplemented as; Follow our great teacher Jesus and be separate as he is the only way,he is the one, he is the only truth...and minor religious clashes to complete wars,resulting in slaughtering millions of people had been the outcome of shallowinterpretations.

    What then could Jesus have possibly meant with these words--no man cancome unto the Father but by Me? When combining other verses of what he is saying inthe Gospels and at face value looked at as he is putting himself to a pedestal equal to,or just under God, and interpreted that he demanded to be revered and to beworshipped as (Son of) God, did he really want his followers and all of humanityconsider him to be as a God? Observing these sayings such as; I and my Father are one and interpretingliterally with a shallow mind I am God as well, it appears as if what Jesus was teachingmankind that he was and is the one and only. However, when one is willing to forsakethe conventional interpretations and balanced scriptures with scriptures we can come toa deeper enriching spiritual meaning.

    Could it mean I am be interpreted...equal to the Kingdom of Heaven is withinyou...the I, the real you, the real we.....generally interpreted. I and My Father are onecould it mean that the I the who humanity really is, in other words the real you...beone with God and is one with God. Greater things than these (miracles)shall you do inother words we can outdo Jesus. Can we interpret this as I, you, we and the Fatherare one, and that the Kingdom of Heaven,be the solutions to our problems, thesalvation that is to be sought inwardly as opposed to outwardly. All of mankind throughthe collective consciousness is one with the Father, and that no one can come throughthe Father except through the I ...am the one and only way to the Truth and the Life. With this paradigm in mind many scriptures can have a total differentinterpretation. How would the world have looked like when the scriptures had been

    implemented from this perspective?

    Jesus Grand Ego and Arrogant claims of Being The Truth and the Only Way .....or....???
