That is not evidence as I'm sure you know.
Nor does it address the question of Jesus as the ONLY way to God or the fruits of that erroneous claim.
It is not a central teaching of the Scriptures, it is a claim in some of the NT.
The rest of actual Scripture, the OT, does not endorse Jesus as the Messiah or Saviour .. especially according to those whose Scripture it is.
The Messiah was for the Jews.
Any extension to others was only in the context of their superiority and "chosen-ness".
Just another example of divisive exclusiveness to feed the ego's of men.
Nothing to do with God or saviours.
Interesting to speculate what a different Christian world would have emerged if the writings and attitude of Paul and his pupils had not claimed victory at the expense of other more authentic understandings of what Jesus brought.
As usual, it's the squeaky wheel that gets the oil.
