This is an excerpt from a new tract that is being written.
Jesus provides the only way for the human race to return to its original condition. [happiness, free from sin, death and pain] Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father except by me.” John 14:6. In this statement Jesus excludes all other paths to God. More strikingly he states I am the path to God. I am the answer to the emptiness you feel, I am the happiness you’ve been looking for and I am the path to heaven and living forever. We hate to exclude any religions and want to think the best of all of them. But here we have to decide, was Jesus an imposter, was he a liar or is he telling the truth?
Sometimes there are objections to Jesus based upon the historic corruption of various churches or to organized religion in general. Certainly, in history and in the present time there are many churches which have left the paths of Christ to make their own way. It is not as it should be, but the character of the church is not directly tied to the character of Jesus Christ. Christians need to go to church, but the church does not provide the cure for humanity. Only in Jesus Christ do we find the cure to the corruption of man.
Some people say that the bible is merely a book of myths. There is no other book, written by 40 different authors over a 1500 year period, that is more well preserved, provides a unified message and is more scientifically and archeologically verifiable in history. Those who criticize the Bible often have not read it for themselves from cover to cover. Before you accept the views of scholars I recommend you read the Bible yourself and form your own opinion instead of relying on someone else.
We won’t go into every detail, (if you wish to we can provide material that would) but the evidence that the various books that make up the Bible are authentically written by the authors described is overwhelming. There is vast and significant evidence that the message of the Bible has not been perverted based upon manuscripts that are thousands of years old. The message of the Bible is the message of Jesus; you cannot affect your own cure by self-realization or self-improvement. The cure to the disease in all of our hearts is the death and new life of Jesus Christ. He became the new root of humanity and through him everything that was lost through the sin of Adam is restored. Jesus places us back on the road of happiness, fills the emptiness in our hearts with his Spirit, gives us assurance that we’ll live forever and that the earth will be restored to peace and harmony.

Sometimes it is a bane to have to point out inconsistencies, however, it is God’s word and we should always strive for clarity, not adding a word is further exemplified by not adding to a concept, or expanding on what is written–unless it falls into context by using applicable scriptures. The statement, ” I am the answer to the emptiness you feel, I am the happiness you’ve been looking for and I am the path to heaven and living forever” sounds great, but definitively oversteps the boundaries of what is said. Yahshua is not an answer to emptiness or feelings; his father has the answers and he, Yahshua, expounds upon them. Yahshua does not fill us with his spirit, we are filled with Yahweh’s spirit, unless you are calling Yahweh by the name the son was given to represent God’s earthly messianic dispensation. There are many other inconsistencies herein, but I just hoped to present some context for clarification purposes. ~Blessings
Thanks for the comments brother. I will just mention a few verses.
John 10:10 speaks of an abundant life. John 15:11 speaks of having fullness of joy as a result of the work of Jesus Christ. Psalm 37:4 speaks of finding delight in the Lord. Philippians 1:19 and Acts 16:7 speak of the Spirit of Jesus.
