“The way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.  (From the NIV Bible, John 14:6)”

“That everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.   (From the NIV Bible, John 3:15-17)”

It is important to know that most of the Bible, especially the New Testament, has general and controversial statements like this one.  This verse might sound like a clear proof for the Trinitarians, but as we read the verses below, we will see that it really doesn’t mean that the person HAS TO ACCEPT JESUS AS HIS MEDIATOR between him and GOD Almighty to be saved.  Let us read the following:

25.  On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
26.  “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”
27.  He answered: ” ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’ ; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ ”
28.  “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.“

Notice that the man’s question was straightforward. “What must I do to inherit eternal life?”

.   Notice how Jesus answered this straight forward question:  “Love the Lord your God with all your heart……and love your neighbor as yourself……Do this and you will live.“

Notice that Jesus didn’t talk about any trinity-lie concept, nor did he say to the man that he must accept Jesus as a mediator between him and GOD Almighty to win Eternal Life.  Jesus was pretty clear and straight forward here:  LOVE GOD ALMIGHTY AND LOVE YOUR NEIGHBORS AS YOURSELF. That is simply all there is to it to win eternal life in Jesus’ standards.

It certainly wasn’t necessary for the man who asked the question to believe in trinity in order for him to be saved.

Here is another incident where Jesus was asked the same exact question by another person:

Luke 18
18.  A certain ruler asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
19.  “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good–except God alone.
20.  You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.’ ”
21.  “All these I have kept since I was a boy,” he said.
22.  When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
23.  When he heard this, he became very sad, because he was a man of great wealth.
24.  Jesus looked at him and said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!
25.  Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
26.  Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”
27.  Jesus replied, “What is impossible with men is possible with God.”
28.  Peter said to him, “We have left all we had to follow you!”
29.  “I tell you the truth,” Jesus said to them, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God
30.  will fail to receive many times as much in this age and, in the age to come, eternal life.”

Again, no other question can be more straight forward than this, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

John 17
1.  After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed:
2.  “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him.
3.  Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
4.  I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do.
5.  And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.
6.  “I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word.
7.  Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you.
8.  For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.
9.  I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours.
10.  All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them.

“By completing the work you gave me to do”, this statement is important to understand the statement of Jesus when he said, that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.   (From the NIV Bible, John 3:15-17)”

As we clearly see in John 17:4, Jesus declared the completion of his work that GOD Almighty had assigned to him on earth.  In John 17:8, he prayed for all of those who followed him and believed in him and in the Commands that he brought to them from GOD Almighty.  In John 17:10, Jesus said that his glory is given to him (Jesus) through them.

Matthew 18

1. At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?“
2. He called a little child and had him stand among them.
3. And he said: “I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
4. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Again, another straightforward question was asked to Jesus peace be upon him (Ameen).
