Yes Jesus is the door( narrow gate)--by learning every teaching of his and applying every teaching of his--- it is not picking and choosing which teachings to abide by. Its a shame, but I believe 1% of mankind find the door. Jesus taught---Few will find it.

The world has got to where there are only a few true believers but God has always had a remnant of people somewhere who would believe Him. Look at the antediluvian world. There was just a few. Noah, his sons, his daughter-in-laws, & his wife. That was all that went into the ark. Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the coming of the Son of man".

Yeah, we are weak, but He is strong - so strong that He is all powerful; no wonder Jesus tells us not worry. And Kjw, He is faithful.......so do you still think God is going to go so far as to sacrifice His Son for a less than 1% return?

How about you list the exact things you are doing to stay on the narrow road.
That way we will have a perfect model to compare ourselves to.

Jesus death gave all the opportunity to repent--- 99% are being mislead to take off the table of demons daily.
How did you come to the conclusion that "99% are being misled to take off the table of demons daily."? Why such a high number, where does it say that so many would be lost? Narrow road does not automatically equal almost everyone.kjw47 said:
I find this to be an odd statement coming from you aspen. I read a lot of what you have to say and disagree with a lot of it, but I do have to give you credit for consistency of viewpoint, you rarely contradict your overall viewpoints of God\life.aspen said:
You focus a tremendous amount of effort on explaining God's love\mercy attributes. You of all people do not believe God would have sent His Son for just 1 person much less 1%?
I am not saying that I agree with his 1% assessment. It just seems odd to me that you would use that train of thought with what you preach. It is an interesting concept to think God would think in "return on investment" terms.
You are dodging the question .... what are your personal attributes that make you think you are one of the 1% on the narrow road ??kjw47 said:
Stand up and proclaim them for us ... stop hiding
Jesus' attributes we already know about
It is you we want to here from
"A highway shall be there, and a road, and it shall be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it shall be for others. Whoever walks the road, although a fool, shall not go astray. No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast go up on it; it shall not be found there. But the redeemed shall walk there, And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with singing, with everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away." Isaiah 35:8-10
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." John 14:6
25. When His disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, "Who then can be saved?''
26. But Jesus looked at them and said to them, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.'' Matthew 19:25-26
"Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem." Acts 9:1-2
I rather prefer being called one who is "of the Way" to being called "a Christian," as in our time the latter includes all forms of foolishness that the former excluded.

One day I awoke and found that I was surrounded by light - the brightest light that I have ever seen, yet my eyes did not hurt. And I was light.
Specific enough for you? Is that narrow enough to qualify?

You cannot even tell us how and why you are on the so called narrow road , how the Heck do you think you can tell anyone else where they are ???
Sorry to be so rough on you but critics like that are a dime a dozen .... they loudly proclaim how wrong everyone else is , yet can never proclaim what they do that is any better.
Stand up and be counted !!!
