Universalist.

I’m sorry but that is a sad way to go through life.

Jesus said HE was THE Way, THE Truth and THE life. Not “A” Way. So, either He was telling the truth, and Christianity is the ONLY way, or He was lying.

It can’t be both.

BTW, I despise ‘organized religion’, been there, done that, but a relationship with Jesus Christ doesn’t necessarily equal organized religion (denominational-ism).

Jesus also explicitly made a claim to divinity.
So either He IS God, or he’s a lunatic or a very wicked man.

There is no middle ground of
“He was a good teacher and lived to provide an example.”

Sad, why?

I believe God is capable of anything, so it can be multiple ways...just depends on what He has planned for you.

I am no universalist.
You seem to have a chip on your shoulder
. Paul tells us if a man be overtaken in a fault to restore such a one in a spirit of meekness considering yourself lest you also be tempted .I agree there are many false and heretical doctrines out there. In this I agree with John Locke
“Everyman thinks he is orthodox”
On a good day I see through a glass darkly.Any man who say’s he doesn’t sin is a liar and the truth is not in him.I get it wrong often.
2Ti 2:24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,

Let him that thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.
Paul the Apostle
I do know Jesus is the way

1Co 16:22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.
1Co 16:23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
