[Son of Witz]

I have to say I don't see the sense in projecting that interpretation of paths to salvation if you don't believe in them.  For me, I think salvation is possible without Jesus. I think Jesus meant something completely different than the common interpretation of "None come to the father but through me" or however the quote reads.  So, no Jesus shouldn't imply no salvation. Not even all Christians believe theirs is an exclusive path.
