It's Jesus who said, I am the door through which men must enter.

If he says he is the only way to God and is not the only way to God,

then I doubt very much if he's even one way to God.

I was taking a court doubt very much if he's even one way to God.

I was taking a course in English literature. I was a second semester freshman at the time,

and I had become a Christian the first semester of my freshman year, and I did not keep my Christian commitment a secret on the campus.

And there were some faculty members at the college where I attended that were very hostile

towards Christianity.

And the person who at least manifest the greatest amount of hostility of all the faculty

happened to be the professor of this English literature course I was taking.

The teacher was a woman. She distinguished herself as a journalist and as a war correspondent

during World War II prior to taking on the task of collegiate teaching. I think out of her background in the war effort, she was kind of a hardened

person, and she had a very great ability to intimidate students. In the middle of a class one day,

she called on me, and she said in front of the whole class, Mr. Sprawl, do you believe that

Jesus Christ is the only way to God?

I thought, of all the questions to be asked in front of the whole class, she had to ask me that one. I went through a very severe moral crisis at that point, because I knew if I answered

what I believed, that that would be very unpopular, but I knew also that if I denied what I believed,

I would be guilty of committing treason to Christ. And so very weakly and very meekly,

I said to her, yes, ma'am, I do believe that Jesus is the only way to God. But when I said

that in that classroom, she absolutely exploded.

And she started to dress me down right in front of the whole class.

And she said, that's the most conceited, that's the most arrogant statement I've ever heard from the mouth of a student.
