Note how FEW follow Jesus' way in this life -Matt 7:13-14

[strangertoo]

Most folks sin all their lives , one mistake leads to another and it is so hard to go back and suppress the ego, not the Truth ... and then there are those around one, it is NORMAL to be a sinner in this world, exceptional to be a saint following Jesus' commandment to Love, not sin ...

Matthew 7:13 ... 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.

so there we have it, Jesus did not create the mass religion that captures the masses of sinners before his return :-

.... all the world wondered after the beast.
and they worshipped the dragon ...
[Revelation of Jesus the Christ 13:3-4]

Jesus says the many of mass religion, finally united , will worship the wrong God as if Satan were God and Christ ... so this is the moment of power of the final antichrist [one in place of Christ] , a fake whom God EXPOSES by his DEATH [Ezekiel 28] after he CONFESSES his blasphemy [2Thess 2:4] after entering the Jerusalem temple through the East Gate from the Mount of Olives ... Ezek 44:1-3

understand then that the many of mass religion are destroyed [Matt 7:13], not saved in this earth , it is the few saints [Jude 1:14] who create and serve as priests and kings in the kingdom come of Jesus the Christ ... countless many are saved LATER [Rev 7:9-10] but only because of the few [Rev 7:3-8] creating teh kingdom where the many live by Love in the next life and so are saved by WORKS [Rev 20:13] after all are freed from hell [Rev 20:13] ,freed from sin not by grace, but by death [Romans 6:7]

so MOST folks are saved by WORKS of Love , not grace, when they live by Love, not sin as in this life... because of Jesus and those few he inspired to suffer by being Loving in THIS world ...saints now who Love, not sin ,now ...

Jude 1:14...Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying:
Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints

just tens of thousands, PROVING that Rev 7:3-8 is LITERAL :-

3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

 

[Imagican]

Yet look at how MANY 'churches' there are. A billion people all claiming to be followers of Christ. It's enough to make one wonder..................

It's like the majority seem to be content to follow ONLY as they choose to follow. In utter contrast to the instruction that has been offered.

Blessings,

FEW find the way of Love -Matt 7:14, the rest are destroyed -Matt 7:13 to free them from sin -Rom 6:7 BECAUSE they will not stop themselves...

consider the division of religion right down to individual interpretations [even of 'founders' of religious scets NOT led by Jesus!] ... just by LOGIC how many of these even COULD be true, at most ONE, possibly NONE ... then check with scripture or stop sinning and check with God's Truth from God Himself is ACTUAL spirit baptism... the answer is none ...

Jesus explains why, he NEVER created a mass religion of sinners , he came only for the FEW saints to buld the kingdom come for the LATER redemption of all sinners -Rev 7:9-10, BUT only AFTER they are all destroyed -Matt 7:13 because death frees them from sin so God can baptise all flesh at last in the kingdom come as promised -Joel 2:28

clearly not all flesh knows all truth of God in this life -John 16:13 as religionosts claim... it is so obviously not true... most do not stop sinning even in a lifetime of 'confessions' , but what use a confession if one does not stop sinning ? ... just a game , but one cannot fool God or Jesus ... the very FIRST step is to stop sinning and few do that in THIS life :-

2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

Jesus will NOT take anyone still sinning, there is no early salvation unless one not only stops sinning but also is TRIALLED in one's Love as Jesus was , baptism of fire which sinners NEVER mention in their churches ...

Luke 3:16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:

1 Peter 4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

1 Peter 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

it really makes no sense at all that there are so many bibles in teh world and so few people READ what they say !

Love HAS to be trialled because men can LIE, so many men do sin by lying, EVEN TO THEMSELVES ... it is lethal to do so , the wages of sin really are death asa sinner UNLESS one stops ! ...

grace is ONLY when one stops AND survives trial without sinning... so it really is no good confessing on one's death bed [sorry Constantine!]
