John 14:6 Is Jesus The Only Way to God and Heaven?

From Bill— In John 14:6: “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” —Is Jesus the only way? I watched a video clip of a famous TV personality stating “there is no way He is the only way, it simply cannot be”. So what’s the answer? Aside from Jesus saying He was the only way, we may reckon as follows: the Creator of the universe was made into a lowly human man & lived 32 or so years on this wretched earth at a time when there were no comforts or safety to speak of. While here, he was tortured, brutalized, shamed & mocked by professional torturers & the supposed religious people. My question is simple: “if I can be saved by praying to a rock, then why in the world would God have chosen the cross for Himself”? —Matt 24:11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.” —Jesus is the only way. Jesus plus nothing = everything. —2 Cor 5:19 says “that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, & has committed to us the word of reconciliation.”— Jesus said that He was the way, the only way & He meant it!
