Reformed Samaritanism General Overview

Did Jesus (peace and blessings be upon him) really say, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one 
comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6)? 
Faith in Jesus can definitely lead a man toward repentance, thereby bringing salvation upon him. But as for 
the claim made by the gospel concerning Jesus being “the way, the truth and, the life...”, Reformed 
Samaritanism advices caution. 
Why? Well, in the first place, because Bible states Moses went up to the Father [atop Mount Sinai], and 
spoke to him face to face without having any need for Jesus assistance («YHVH said to Moses, “Come up to 
me on the mountain and stay there”… YHVH would speak with Moses face to face, just as a man speaks 
with his friend, then Moses would return to the camp»- Exodus 24:12, & 33:11). 
Secondly, Jesus himself never wrote anything (so later gospel writers could had simply felt tempted to quote 
him uttering words he never really said). 
Lastly, even if Jesus did say those words, maybe he didn’t mean them to be taken in a strict literal sense. For 
example, only six verses after claiming to be “the way, the truth, and the Life”, Jesus proceeds to claim that
he who believes in Him, would do greater miracles than he (“Truly I tell you, the one who believes in me will
also do the works that I do. And he will do even greater works than these, because I am going to the Father”- 
John 14:12). 
Is this verse to be taken in a strict literal sense? 
If so, then ask yourself: Do all of your Christian friends turn water into wine? Can they all heal the sick? Can
they all bring back to life a 4 days old [rotten] cadaver? Can they all multiple the bread? Can they all walk 
567


upon water? Do they all come back to life 3 days after dying? Have you seen them all being taken to heaven 
in the presence of 500 witness? 
It might be wise for our beloved Christian brothers to keep in mind the verse that goes on to say, “Brothers 
and sisters, don’t be childish in your thinking, but be infants in regard to evil, and adult in your thinking”- 1 
Corinthians 14:20
