Jesus is the Only Way?: Where does that leave those who never heard, sincere Muslims,.... ?

Hard Questions If God is so good, why is there so much evil in the world? If following Christ is the only true way, what about those who have never heard? What about sincere Muslims, Buddhists, etc.? Why is the Bible the only “word of God?”

Why do Christians think they are the only ones who have the truth? They make it sound like they know the only way to God. All religions are basically the same – trying to accomplish the same thing. All of them are different ways to God. Besides, people in other cultures are sincere followers of their own religion. They’ve never even heard about Jesus. What kind of God sends them to hell? In other words...

1 1 Jesus: I am the Only Way Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6

2 The Apostles: Jesus is the Only Way Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12

2 The Apostles: Jesus is the Only Way Remember that at that time you were separate from Christ,... without hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ. Ephesians 2:12-13

3 Jesus: Other Ways are Not Valid Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. John 3:18

4 The Apostles: Other Ways are Not Valid And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 1 John 5:11-12

Conclusion Jesus, the Apostles, The Bible... state clearly that Jesus is the only way to God.
