Re: Re sinless
Matt 7:13-14 Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. [14]But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
The key here is the last few words and only a few find it.
There's no mistaking what is being said here. It plainly shows that the road to hell is wide and that many will enter through and that the gate to heaven is narrow and few will find the way.
Quote any other scripture you like. The Christian doctrine holds that there will be fewer in heaven than in hell. Period.
I dunno, and I might be being a little pedantic here, but that verse alone only says that many enter through the gate to the road to destruction but not that they actually go to the end of the road and reach distruction.
Maybe there is a cross-street or something so you get from the wide road to the narrow one later after you've already gone throught the gate.
So, you tell me (or show me, for that matter) where it is written that there will be far MORE people in Heaven than there will be in Hell. Can you?
He already did:
quote:
Revelation 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

Actually, that doesn't say more than won't...... my bad.

proper interpretation
who sets the marker on HOW to interpret?
You could've figured this one out with simple logic, onifre.
If you read the Bible and are not convinced, then you used the wrong interpretation.
If you read the Bible and are convinced, then you used the right one
