His point was just that the bible suggests that “the path is narrow”, yet God is willing that none should perish. Sound’s contradictory if one is not familiar with the message of the whole bible.
Frankly, there are a lot of questions regarding the content of the bible that are a mystery to EVERYONE. Many pastors simply refuse to address them. The beginning of a very long rabbit trail is to read Psalm 82. It’s talking about disobedient bosses in “heaven”.
The implications shatter how a lot of people see Heaven, especially a lot of Christians.
You’re right. There are more verses like that, which cloud our ability to make a smooth consistency to scripture (or which even make us question the competence of the editors) Take the verses in Genesis 6:1-4 about the Nephilim. Many scholars wonder what in the world to do with these.
