The narrow gate vs the broad and spacious path?

[Keiw1]

Matthew 7:13-14--Go in through the narrow gate, because broad and spacious is the path that leads to destruction, and many are going through it. Whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, few are the ones finding it.

So why are Few finding it? Jesus assured that when he sent holy spirit to the ones taking the lead( Matt 24:45) in his religion, it would guide them into all truth.
Which is the narrow gate?

JW,s = a worldwide brotherhood, in Love, peace and unity -----(of thought( all of Gods 1 truth)=1Cor 1:10)= a true mark of Jesus' religion- or Trinity religions= hundreds of them all with different truths.

Jesus said we would he hated. Why? Because we are no part of this world=( unaccepted, different)= no pagan filled holidays, no voting for corrupt govts, no killing of each other by standing on both sides of the wars of hatred.

We all must choose our path with the free will God gave to us. He is the only being handing out life everlasting.

So Why are few finding the narrow gate?

C'mon Bobby, do what we're doing.

Everyone's doing it!

Jesus is the gate, people must enter through Him.

How . ever, most people don't like what He has to say so they take the wide way around trying to find a hole in the wall ..

Jesus heads one single religion-- reveals truth through these-Matt 24:45. One must be taught by those or remain darkness.
Trinity religions teach little of what Jesus taught. I attended few in my days. Yes most want their ears tickled with words like--you are saved--even though the man who said those words does not know who will be saved. RUN FROM THOSE BLIND GUIDES. They seek the tithe.

Sounds gnostic.

So few are finding the way because so many are teaching against walking in God's way.

 

[mailmandan]

So few find it because so few have placed their faith (belief, trust, reliance) in Jesus Christ as the ALL-sufficient means of their salvation. (John 3:15,16,18; 10:9; 14:6; Acts 10:43; 13:39; 15:7-9; 16:31; Romans 1:16; 3:24-28; 4:5-6; 5:1; Ephesians 2:8,9 etc..).

1 Corinthians 1:18 - For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

2 Corinthians 4:3 - But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Yes many are just ear ticklers, like Joel Osteen.

The Bible repeatedly refers to the Mosaic Law as being God's way, so someone doesn't necessarily need to like Joel Osteen, but rather they just need to teach against walking in it.

Jesus brought a new covenant=LOVE, not written Mosaic law. Yet the OT teaches law would be written on ones heart. But some of the Mosaic laws were done away with--Example-stoning the unrepentant to death.

What you affirmed as true concerning to whom the "Lord" refers to in 2 Timothy 2:22 contradicted what the JW's affirmed as true.

That's disunity of thought.

The greatest two commandments of the Mosaic Covenant are to love God and our neighbor, so that is not a difference.

But some of the Mosaic laws were done away with--Example-stoning the unrepentant to death.

People teaching that any part of the Mosaic Law has been done away with are why so few are finding the narrow way. In Matthew 5:17-20, Jesus waned against relaxing the least part of the Mosaic Law or teaching others to relax the least part. All of God's righteous laws are eternal (Psalms 119:160).

Only by your twisted reasonings. I could have erred, all imperfect people do.

You try stoning someone to death and see where it gets you. God set up disfellowshipping instead in the NT. Under love one cannot kill their brothers.
