Christian’s love boasting,
jesus is the way, true and life. They base their entire salvation on this, but
with a little study we find this statement is only mentioned in the gospel of
john. I mean if this was such a God given message wouldn't synoptic gospels also make mention of it? Why didn't
mark Matthew or Luke record Jesus uttering such statement? What happened did
the Holy Ghost forget or was it not aware of such an utterance?. What makes
this statement dubious is that a few chapters earlier in the same book of john
we read Jesus himself testifying:
"If I testify about
myself, my testimony is not true."
(John 5:31)
Wait a sec Jesus is testifying
that if he speaks of himself then his testimony is not true? If Jesus himself
is saying he's words don't hold any value then how can you accept him saying he
is the truth? Another addition to the statement of Jesus which is rather
contradictory and Christians fall into a dilemma is when Jesus praises the
Spirit of truth
"I have many more things
to say to you, but you cannot bear them now."But when He, the Spirit of
truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth"
(John 16:12-13)
If Jesus is suppose to be the
truth then why did he say when the spirit of truth comes he will GUIDE YOU TO
ALL TRUTH!!! Note Jesus said he will guide to "All TRUTH" this tells
us Jesus was not the ultimate truth?
Now I would like to shift the
lane and get into some other external scriptures, also I want to address the
fact that the gospels and epistles found in the New Testament are not part of
the Old Testament sacred scriptures like the Jews believe for instant the Old
Testament is broken down in 3 categories these are known as :
THE TORAH ( The Pentateuch
5 Books of Moses )
THE NEVI'IM ( The Prophets )
THE K'TUVIM ( The Scriptures )
Now with theses books also
comes the Oral Law which Jews take for Holy Scriptures known as the
Mishna/Talmud a collection of books, rules and laws and a deep explanation of
the Torah according to Jewish scholar Hyam Maccoby, in Judaism on Trial, quotes
Rabbi Yehiel ben Joseph: "Further, without the Talmud, we would not be
able to understand passages in the Bible...God has handed this authority to the
sages and tradition is a necessity as well as scripture. The Sages also made
enactments of their own...anyone who does not study the Talmud cannot
understand Scripture."

Interestingly we read from the
Jewish oral scriptures (Talmud) that Moses was the Truth and so was the Torah
which Moses had. Both Moses and the Torah are the truth which wasn't said by Moses,
but by Yahweh.
He said unto me: 'Come, I will
show you the men of Korah that were swallowed up.17 I saw two cracks that
emitted smoke. I took a piece of clipped wool, dipped it in water, attached it
to the point of a spear and let it in there. And when I took it out it was
singed. [Thereupon] he said unto me: 'Listen attentively [to] what you [are
about to] hear.' And I heard them say: 'Moses and his Torah are truth and we18
are liars.' He said unto me: 'Every thirty days Gehenna19 causes
them to turn back here as [one turns] flesh in a pot,20 and they say
thus: "Moses and his law are truth and we18 are liars".'
(Babylonian Talmud: Tractate Baba Bathra Folio 74a)
The above passage is sufficient
to call Moses the truth that is according to Jewish inspired text. Yawheh invited seventy elders to go with Moses
and worship him from a distance but Moses is exclusively asked to see Yahweh alone.
Then He said to Moses,
"Come up to the LORD, you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu and seventy of the
elders of Israel, and you shall worship at a distance. "Moses alone,
however, shall come near to the LORD, but they shall not come near, nor shall
the people come up with him." ( Exodus 24:1-3)
also the Torah tells us Yahweh
made Moses a god to pharaoh
And the LORD said unto Moses,
See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy
prophet. (Exodus 7:1)
----------------
Christians like isang have no
idea how they humiliate themselves when they start assuming that the biblical
Jesus was the only way and truth...
Carry on reading to verse 32
There is another who testifies in my favor, and I know that his testimony about
me is true. (John 5:32)
"For he who finds me finds life And obtains favor from the LORD. (Proverbs 8:35)
---------
Solomon is talking about himself if you find him you find life, so what happened to I am the way the truth the life?
