Was Jesus's message to follow him and only him? Or isn't his message that one can connect to God just as he himself did? In other words in false idols and the connection is within oneself.

Actually I've never heard others say I am the truth except maybe someone trying to give themselves an affirmation which is hokey.
That statement "The truth will set you free" is also misinterpreted. It is Biblical and when in context what is The Truth the truth is Jesus, so who sets you free - Jesus. When we seek the truth if we are seeking it from him, he will reveal it. If we seek it elsewhere we are given false messages.

Are you saying that "the truth will set you free" is not to be taken as saying that which is true creates more freedom?
Are you also saying that anything other than Jesus is not true and thus not liberating?
