Yes, as I expressed to you in my PM ... I had you confused with Lad.

Raven is a wonderful man ... I'm sure he'd make room for you

I just got tired of their taunting of others and extreme judgmental attitudes. Thought a little comeuppance was due.

I have mentioned it more than once, on more than one forum. about treating others like you would like to be treated. I've tried to live by that and at times have had to delete posts before and after posting them.

I think it was one thread that was mentioned and it just gets tiring when you see folks that should know better treat each other like a bunch of kids with the nah nah this and the naw naw that, and the name calling and general dragging things down to a personally insulting level. What's so hard about just discussing an issue without the name calling, etc?

Of course. Why shouldn't they feel that way? This isn't about hurt feelings and crawling off to cry oneself to sleep. If a man feels strongly about a topic then they should defend it as though is is truth. For them to do anything less would be ridiculous.

I heard individuals were upset when Pope Benedict the 16th made the statement the Roman Catholic Church was the only way to salvation. I then commented he would be compromising his message to say anything less.

I posted Matthew 7:14, "small and tight is the opening and hard the road to life, and only a tiny number discovery it." because those words are as true as John 3:16, and Acts 2:38. Yet American Christendom wants to hide their heads in the sand concerning the verse's meaning. Remember the next verse deals with false prophets disguised as true ones. Therefore the tight and narrow way is compounded by false teachers and scripture wresters who try to deceive.

My peers I love with all my heart.

Their denouncement of my eschatological views, reflects the passion they feel for their own view. Is that not natural? They ought to bring forth their thoughts with strength, defending what they believe with strong arguments.

Convince the ones they love and protect the ones they love with book, chapter, and verse. I do the same, trying to do so with respect and love for my friends, and soon-to-be friends.

Sometimes when diving into religious debates with passion, it is received in the wrong way. Yet time proves all things. If we don't take things personally, we stay friends, keeping the door open for more dialogue and more arguments to be strengthened.

EB's a great guy.

I hope he finds a way to avoid the "snap, crackle and pop!" that awaits all those who fail to find that tiny and obscure trail of truth that the Almighty is said to use to tantalize our hopes as He also frustrates our progress toward Him.

But one sure sign of someone who has found that cryptic and inscrutable path appears to be that they consign everyone else to a devil's hell.

So, just to confirm for my Floridian friend that I am on the straight and narrow road, I want to assure EB that he's gonna "split the pit!"

There, now we're both saved.

Oddly enough no one wants to deal with Matthew 7:14?

Cryptic?

Hardly.


Brother David, the gate way is small and tight, the road is narrow, and there be a tiny few who will find it.

Joel Olsteen didn't write it, and Carlton Pearson sure didn't write it.

Jesus the Christ said it.

That is what we all must deal with.

Thanks EB, and I hope you've learned that your appeals to the toothy one and to other televangelists falls on deaf ear with me. I remember having to Google Carlton Pearson a couple of years ago just to find out who you guys were arguing about.

Yes, Jesus said the path is "narrow" - but then He tells us that He is that path and the gateway! John 10:9 and John 14:6.

This is how I "deal" with Matthew 7:14. I'm not looking for a well beaten track nor an overgrown and "lost" trail. I am looking for a Person: Jesus Christ!

Brother, if that road gets any narrower, one couldn't get there walking on a tight rope of dental floss.


How does the tiny few correlate with Revelation 7:9.

I believe the way is narrow, but not so narrow it is all but impossible.

I believe the way is narrow, but not so narrow it is all but impossible.

"Great multitude, which no man could number."

The chapter starts out with those who have been sealed, and then counts out the 144,000 of the tribes of Israel. The prophet then sees the mixed multitude just like the ones who followed the children of Israel out of Egypt (Exo 12:38), but also speaks of the promise made to Abraham, and Jacob (Gen 16:10, Gen 32:12).

Yet, only 144,000 are sealed? Doesn't sound like a number that cannot be counted. 144,000 are those of the sealed children of Israel and just like when they came out of Egypt with Moses as they led the mixed multitude (Exo 12:38). Those who would enter into the narrow way and tight gate would have the mixed multitude follow them, not they following the mixed multitude (Exo 23:2).

Yet, it is this mixed multitude who is uncountable, which can only mean the number is an infinite one that goes on without end.

Still the words of Jesus Christ speaks of the strait and narrow way, and also His Kingdom is a World without end (Isaiah 45:17, Eph 3:21) meaning a Kingdom that continues throughout all generations.

Therefore, since the Kingdom of God/of Heaven continues throughout all generations and ages, it will have a remnant that will enter through the strait and narrow way. There is many who are called, but few will be chosen (Matthew 22:14). The church in Sardis are told that they only had a few who had not defiled their white robes (Rev 3:4). Noah in his generation only had seven come out of tribulation with him (1st Peter 3:20). There will be a remnant throughout all generations and ages, world without end.


Lord bless you my friend and Brother.
