I heard someone tell me when jesus said he was the way the truth and the light, it was a reference to the enterances into the innermost sanctums of the temple where only the holy of the holies could go. I am not quite sure if I worded that right, but if you know about what I am talking about I would greatly appreciate an answer.

Seeing how that is doctrinally and scripturally a farce, I think that thought was plucked somewhere from where there isn't any light.

I've never heard this before A Theist, but I also am clueless as to why Kerygma thinks the concept is " doctrinally and scripturally a farce" (though his pun on the lack of light location is admittedly clever).

Maybe they are referring to Jesus as the way into the Holy of Holies because prior to Christ only the high priest was able to enter there, but after Christ was crucified the curtain enclosing the Holy of Holies was torn making a way for all believers to enter into the Lord's presense. The was no light in the Holy of Holies, as the lampstand stood outside the curtain, except the glory of God.
