Richard Rohr - Why Do We Misunderstand John 14:6?

Richard Rohr separates "Jesus" from "Christ" in order to create an inclusive "Universal Christ." He takes John 14:6, which clearly says that "Jesus said to him" and applies his "universal Christ" to this passage in order to avoid the offense of Christ's exclusive claims in being the only way to the Father.

"Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me." (John 14:6)

On Rohr's website, you can read how he compares how his view of "Jesus" and "Christ" to a kite:

"If Christ is the kite, Jesus is the person flying the kite and keeping it from escaping away into invisibility.

If Jesus is the person holding the string, Christ is the great banner in the sky, from whom all can draw life—even if they do not recognize the one flying the kite.

Jesus does not hold the kite to himself as much as he flies it aloft, for all to see and enjoy.
