Thanks for your insight, Acora
I have assumed that Jesus being 'the way' is an indicator of behaviour/action rather than a theology.
Again - an aspect which arises from this and confuses.....where would the tenet you outline leave, say, Gandhi? Or indeed, any other man/woman who has done his/her best to lead a good life but happens not to be Christian?Being Hindu, Christian, Moslem, Jewish etc.. is often just as much of an accident of birth as being born Italian, French or British
Where does it leave say, the Magdalen nuns who worshipped Jesus whilst meteing out harsh and one might say, cruel, punishments to young women?
As mentioned, like yourself I do not disparage anyone's belief system - I am interested in the apparent 'grey' areas
