"I cannot deny" should mean "I affirm" or "I believe" ("I cannot deny that I am male") so the paraphrase would then be "I believe that God is not at work in other ways" - It's either an <a href="http://www.episcopalchurch.org/79901_106683_ENG_HTM.htm" rel="nofollow">ENS misquote</a> or KJS++ misspoke herself. (Or had a truly radical change of position!) #1 – isn’t it triple negative?

For it was God the Son, in the form of Jesus Christ, that said "I am the way and the light. No-one goes to the Father but through me". Therefore it was God himself who accomplished all that was needed through His Son. For us to say that there could be ways other than Jesus is to limit the accomplishment of God, and the completeness of the Cross.
