Is Jesus The Only Way To Know God?

I do not presume, this is a fact, the truth.

When the conquistadors (or Christopher Columbus) had discovered America (south) in 1492, the aborigines had never seen white men, before that period of time. Neither a cross, or a church, or about missionaries, a bible, they had known nothing about a man called Jesus of Nazareth. They had absolutely no knowledge about a gospel, nothing.

Jesus said, that The Gospel would be preached to everyone. Whether he uses men to do it or whether He Himself reveals it, nobody will be ignorant. All will have a chance to choose or refuse to come in through the door.

Unless you believe like the Mormons that Jesus had visited North America but you cannot prove it. There was no sign of the Christianity in North America and in South America before the arriving of the white men.

There are none who will be judged because of not hearing.
1 Peter 4:6
For the gospel has for this purpose been preached even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as men, they may live in the spirit according to the will of God.

That means you believe like the Mormons that everyone will have a second chance to be converted to Jesus Christ after their death. And if this is truthful, why to be converted in this life? Why not be converted after our death?

And sadly, I believe there are many who will not listen or repent and therefore won't be saved. However, it won't be because they didn't know any better or have a chance to choose whom they would serve.

Every generation we have to preach the gospel to the whole world. People die, and they are replaced by new people. This is a perpetual ***. For eighteen centuries people do not have a personal bible. No broadcasting, no television, nothing. For fifteen centuries people could have only heard the gospel by the sermon of a priest (only in Europe mostly). 96% of the world population during this period did not know how to read or write. They were illiterate.
