I realize you are being sarcastic. However, the quote you reference has been slightly mutiliated by a PC translation.

Here’s the King James version the Book of John, Chapter 14, verses 5 and 6:

Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Of course “man” here means all mankind, an understanding of language that today’s PC world foolishly rejects.

That original comment wasn’t to you, but I will explain my use of the added words “and woman”, since it’s my own idea based on the translation of the original Greek and not from any PC source...

Now, understanding that you may have read some text which includes feminine terms or even excludes the masculine in favor of the feminine, I will ignore any attempt on your part to appear self righteous or even denounce me as in error...horrors how would that occur ??? I’m always careful over the words of God..

Instead I will explain that my use of “and woman” came about during the many years I have had to correct Mormons who claim only men can “come to any type of god” and their wives only get to go to an afterlife if their husband choose to call them out of the grave...if the wives have earned the honor..etc..

knowing that the LORD Jesus Christ, who is God, died for everyone, both Jew and Greek (the rest) male and female, black and white, of all creeds and national origin, I researched the original Greek word/s to find that Jesus was not saying just men when He said “man” in John 14:6 but that the word/s means both man and woman and is not persific...

For those who chose to be literal at the wrong time, I write “man and woman” and since that is what the LORD Jesus Christ said, I am actually correct in doing so...
