Oh my! - I've been “misdirected” by the Gospel of Matthew?
Matthew 7:
[13] Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
[14] Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Do you see anything in there that over-rules John's first epistle?
So long.
