For the future, could you shorten the posts?

Certainly...

Dear Brother,"the gate is norrow"!

In your interpretations of Scripture the gate to heaven is WIDE ,its the cakewalk and the gate to hell is NARROW-hardly anyone will go into hell.

You have turned our Lord,s words upside down!

I,ll pray for you.

Why do you think that I am saying that few will go to hell?

The opposite is true, too many are going to hell for rejecting the free gift of salvation (Rom.5:16-18) by adding their own works to it.

That is a false Gospel that Paul calls anathama in Gal.1.

So what part of 'free' is that you do not understand?

If someone offered you something for 'free' and than stated that you had to spend the rest of your life working to earn it, you would call that person a liar and fraud.

That is exactly what any religious system that does that rejects what Christ offered freely (Jn.7), by adding to it what they think the gift should really cost.

Salvation is free and that means no works are necessary to have it or to keep it because the price of it is beyond human payment!

So all attempts to 'help' God with works are arrogrance and are rejected by God as such.

I,ll pray for you.

Thank you, that is very kind of you.

Just don't say any Hail Mary's for me!
