Seek and you will find. Many will seek and not be able to enter. But that's not a contradiction, cuz there are no contradictions in the Bible.
Well, but you've misquoted: "Many will seek to enter, and not be able..." they were not seeking God, but to enter. There are no contradictions in the Bible.

Silly me.

The thing is, it's what He didn't "give up". Because of His choice, He didn't "give up" on us.

In fact I think that the insinuation of "hateful" Pentecostals is coming mostly from the fertile imaginations of bitter, backslidden ex Apostolics who are constantly trying to find a way to justify their actions. ~ strait shooter
You think if you disobey any of those things you'll still make it to heaven? If you don't hate your family, you are not worthy of Jesus. If you don't feed the hungry (this is in the "etc.") or clothe the naked or take in the homeless, you're a goat. "Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels."
Is this my flawed human thinking again? Thinking that Jesus meant what He said?
About hating family...
Timmy...surely you know that's not what Christ meant. Jesus used hyperbole to drive the point home that we are not to love, or place our hopes and happiness in, anything or anyone other than Him. True wholeness and fulfillment come from our restored union and fellowship with God.
On the physical plane, there is a sense in which He is not, but you are. (Are you also clay in your Father's hands? yes)
Your free will to act in this Realm, Ours, the physical, and to choose Life over death for it, is an assumption of sovereignty; we are to "be like gods."
