Jesus: A way, or THE way?

The Episcopals are having at it down in the USA. A motion was presented to affirm the Church's belief that Jesus is exclusively the way, the truth and the life.

It got shot down. Too controversial.

This is a Church that finds the exclusive claims of Christ offensive. It finds the Old Testament moral law offensive. It finds God's demand for holiness -- "without which no man shall see the Lord" -- offensive. It finds the idea that Scripture is authoratative, the Word of God written, offensive.

Themselves -- they do not find offensive. They like the positions of power they hold. They like the authority of their office.

God's a bowling ball
Unrighteous leaders are the pins
I hear him rolling down the lane -- I wonder who's gonna win?
Still they stand their ground, they don't hear the sound
But his Word is rolling, rolling, rolling, it's gonna knock 'em down
It's time to repent; get out of the way; get down on your knees and pray; let Jesus have his way

I predict, at the end of the day, Jesus will be the last man standing.

King of kings and Lord of Lords!

Your prediction is echoed throughout the Bible. So we believe it.
