Is Jesus the only way to salvation?
DirectA clear verse states this directly, and no higher-or-equal-authority text overturns it.
Yes — Jesus himself states it plainly, and multiple independent texts at every authority level confirm it with no contradiction.
Jesus' own words in John 14:6 state "no one comes to the Father except through me" — an absolute exclusion in the original Greek. Peter's declaration in Acts 4:12 states "there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." No text at any tier contradicts these claims.
