Well, another way to explain it to people is: It says "I am THE way, THE truth, and THE life. No one comes to the Father but by Me." The emphasis on the singular THE and the statement about NO ONE comes to the Father but by Jesus. That excludes ALL other ways they could believe they might have. This one verse says it all.
The life is in His name, and John says that’s how you’re born again. Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God. There is NO OTHER WAY. And it comes by a divine revelation Matt 16; John 6:44-45,65; 5:24-25; 10:16; Luke 10:20-22.
Purpose of the Book of John John 20:30-31 The disciples saw Jesus do many other miraculous signs in addition to the ones recorded in this book. 31But these are written SO THAT YOU MAY CONTINUE TO BELIEVE that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing in him you will have life by the power of his name.

Another question is is one required to believe that Jesus is God and/or believe in the holy trinity to have everlasting life. I remember this being handled before and I would like to find it again. I myself totally believe John chapter one which if I could have a favorite, this would be it.
This was an interesting question that had never even occurred to me as even a possibility; nevertheless, it was something that I found worthwhile for examination and clarification. I believe you handled this question very well, something which appeared like a slam dunk, nevertheless looked at thoughtfully and with a fine tooth comb. Good job.

You are clearly reading your interpretation into the Bible by finding a translation that suits your beliefs. All the major translations don’t have “Continue” in this verse. Just stop please.
Father Abraham was a Gentile, his Origins were from Ur of the Chaldees. Genesis 15:6-8 King James Version 6 And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness. 7 And he said unto him, I am the Lord that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it. 8 And he said, Lord God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
The Church has Replaced Antichrist Israel as the Chosen People. All the Promises of Father Abraham belong to us. We are the Seed of Abraham. Matthew 21:43 King James Version 43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
God always keeps His promises. Romans 11:25-26 25 For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; John 4:22 22 You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.
@AlvinFen The Bible says the Promises were made to the Single person Abraham, and Abraham's Seed which was Jesus Christ. There's no plurality in the Sentence in Galatians 3 except in verse 29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. Galatians 3:16 King James Version 16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
@@CarnivoreMeatEater Dr. Bob Wilkin The Grace New Testament Commentary Galatians 6:16 What Paul means by THE ISRAEL OF GOD is disputed. There are two major views. First, the Reformed view is that it refers to the church. Second, the dispensational view is that it refers to Jewish believers in the current Church Age. The latter view is correct for two reasons. First, Paul has made clear elsewhere that the true Israel today are those who are both the physical AND SPIRITUAL seed of Abraham (cf. Rom 9:6-8). Second, both the OT and NT make it clear that there is a future for the nation Israel, God’s chosen people. Jesus will forever rule and reign from Jerusalem over the nation of Israel and the world.
GES believes that you can have an "EVIL UNBELIEVING HEART FALLING AWAY FROM THE LIVING GOD", Heb 3:12 and you will still be saved. GES also believes that you can " Depart from the faith and give heed to doctrine of demons ", 1 Tim 4:1 and you will still be saved.........so is he the ONLY WAY....walking in darkness? walking after the flesh? GES says after you are saved, you can live however you want.....and you will still be saved.
You don’t understand the Gospel. You’ll never make it to heaven based on what YOU do. You’ve GOT to let that go. That’s repentance; change your mind: realize that you are a sinner, helpless to save yourself, and believe that Jesus paid the price for your sins. That is salvation and again, it’s not what you do, but what Christ did. Repent and believe today!
Jesus you are the only way-- no one comes to the Father any orther way. Thank you for this gift.
Believing in Jesus alone would imply we must believe he is the only way.
Well, another way to explain it to people is: It says "I am THE way, THE truth, and THE life. No one comes to the Father but by Me." The emphasis on the singular THE and the statement about NO ONE comes to the Father but by Jesus. That excludes ALL other ways they could believe they might have. This one verse says it all.
Good episode. Btw, Bob was referring to Buddhism and the eightfold path (not sevenfold).
The life is in His name, and John says that’s how you’re born again. Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God. There is NO OTHER WAY. And it comes by a divine revelation Matt 16; John 6:44-45,65; 5:24-25; 10:16; Luke 10:20-22.

John 20:30-31
