So I've noticed @Taken.

Not news, opening unknown links can reek an intrusion of unwanted havoc. What “sounds good”, doesn’t necessarily mean “is good”.

Not news. Sounds good, isn’t good, runs exponentially rampant in the world today. People are cautious.

Oh yes, like here, no good news and runs exponentially rampant, only a few will be saved, the link that 'reeks' is from a Baptist Church Wallace the minister.

Only a few will be saved

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

For many are called, but few are chosen

That is an odd comment.
In one respect Dissing Baptists “reeking” few will be saved...
The repeating Scripture, that many are called, but few are chosen.

Strange.

Actually many will be saved...among the righteous. The few are those who walk in kingdom life in this present world...the saints. The few are the holy and the many are the righteous.

Few find the door which is Christ to walk in the narrow way of eternal life at the present time. Those who do so will receive a reward of rulership with Christ in the next age. The saints will rule over the righteous in the next age.

There is the Bride of Christ among the few. Those who have been washed and are without spot or wrinkle. The Bible also attests to the many guests who come to the marriage feast of the Lord. These are both bad and good...uncrucified. These are the righteous among the nations "that are saved".


1 Tim. 4:10 “For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.

"especially those who believe" does not exclude others who are scarcely saved. The righteous are scarcely saved.

There's something wrong here...

Something very wrong...not at all.

*The Knowledge of the The Gift of Salvation is revealed.
*Salvation is ONLY received AFTER a bodily Death.
* Men IN Christ have already given their body to Death, crucified with Christ Jesus. While other men see them walking about in their flesh living body, they are already accounted SAVED and WITH God Forever.
* Gods Accounting is Paramount.
* What other men think, believe, accuse, is irrelevant.
* Any man can believe...AND NOT be crucified with Christ...
And that same man STOP believing. He is warned to continue believing to his end, SO HE CAN BECOME SAVED.
* Further warning is Gods Great Tribulation.
* Shall the Believers, not converted, suffer the beginning of the Tribulation? YES...WHY? Because their body must DIE, to receive their Salvation.
* How are body’s DYING during the Tribulation? Weather disturbance increase from God? Yep. The Devil given great power to Control, economy, buying, selling, causing famine’s, wars, DEATHS? Yep.
* Will many men YEILD to the Devil governing power, in order to HOPE Satan, World power men, will keep their Life safe, alive? Yep, some will.

You can watch the preview NOW. Men shouting 24-7 fear, fear, fear.
Men offering, then mandating, then demanding, the Public take the man-made solutions, or be subject to punishments. It will get worse, and many “believing” men will, out of fear, acquiesce to their “master” man...oops, not enduring to their end.

The seven years of Great Tribulation coming down from Heaven...
IS ALL ABOUT BODILY DEATH....Dividing those With God from those Without God...

Judgement is all about .... Separating the Divided.

That is what the Bible teaches Joe, but concerning salvation and the Bible as a whole, we know that there will be billions. Romans 6:7 states that those who die are acquitted of sin. Everyone who dies goes to hell, and we see that through the resurrection hell will be emptied, and since death will no longer have to happen, both death and hell will be cast into the lake of fire to be forever gone Rev 20:13,14.

Jesus was clear that those who sin against the holy spirit would not be forgiven, yet that is extremely hard to get, one would have to know God intimately and work against His purposes to receive that judgment, and extremely few individuals on earth know God, sure they have heard of Him, but extremely few can tell you His name, and even fewer can show it in the Bible. And that is where those roads come in, they represent life or death as easily understood, but what is not so easily understood that they represent Gods as well. Those traveling the narrow, cramped road belong to Jehovah, those who are on the broad road receive destruction in the lake of fire that was prepared for their god.

What is strange about it is the why, what makes this different? Our opinion is that when Jehovah executes a judgement, common sense tells you that those executed in that Judgment, have been judged correct? When Jesus returns, the Bible clearly states that he will destroy those who "do not know God, or obey the gospel" 2 Thes 1:6-9. They have already been judged, right? Same as the flood, Noah and those on the ark with him were judged righteous, the rest of the world was judged, and stood in opposition to Jehovah, were they on that road to destruction? No doubt! But will they be back? We simply do not know, but we do know that Jehovah's intent is to fill the earth, Gen 1:28 and what goes forth from His mouth gets fulfilled Isa 55:11.

So a difficult topic to rectify to say the least, but we believe that when Jesus comes the vast majority of mankind will fall into the goat category and be destroyed, in harmony with that parable of the two roads sir.

Truth do sound strange, especially when it is right in front of your eyes.

Jesus intended for His Sheep to imitate Him in spirit and in Truth.

Only His Sheep can hear His voice, though.

2Co 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more...



Joh_13:15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

1Ti_4:12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
Heb_4:11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

Heb_8:5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.

Jas_5:10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an
example of suffering affliction, and of patience.

1Pe_2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because
Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

Jud_1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

Correct you are Robert, only the elect/chosen/few are saved..till the fullness of the Gentiles comes in.
