Few will be saved?

[he-man]

Tells me nothing in terms of how many will be saved and covered by Jesus' blood.

What is the percentage that were saved out of the 40,000? Only 2 were allowed to enter into the Holy Land.

 

[SeventyOne]

What did Jesus mean when he said "few will be saved?" There are billions of Christians out there! Christianity is the largest religion in the world! So surely many will be saved? What are we missing? Discuss.

Christianity isn't a religion. Lot's of people play the game, go to church, claim the title, try to act all pious and moral, but everything is outward.

Recall, Jesus also said MANY will call Him "Lord, Lord" on the day of judgment, and He will tell them He never knew them. I'll bet hades is currently overflowing with shocked "christians".

because of their actions. Moreover only two were allowed to enter that were over a certain age at the time. Those under 20 entered and many of those born within that forty years entered.

There are billions of people who claim Christianity as their relgion that is not going to be in the Bible.

Not all who claim to be Christian are indeed Christian.

I have heard people say that Christianity is not a religion whether a relationship.

But surely all who believe in Jesus will be saved?

James 2:19
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

that was my point. The poster wanted a scripture reference and I was saying it was not going to be there because that is what people CLAIM does not mean they are.

Moreover, there are plenty that believe in one God that do not consider themselves Christians. These include Jews, Muslims and many Deists.

That is true. So it isn't enough to believe that there is one God. One must also believe in Jesus.

Best we make sure we are apart of the right one-God believing religion huh?

Im confused......what is the difference?

 

[dogs4thewin]

Im confused......what is the difference?

Many people ( who do not consider themselves Christian believe in one God, but do not believe that Jesus is the way to the Father.

 

[Neostarwcc]

Im confused......what is the difference?

Muslims, Jews...etc all believe that there is one God too. They just don't believe its Jesus. Belief in Jesus is a minimum requirement for salvation.

 

[dogs4thewin]

Best we make sure we are apart of the right one-God believing religion huh?

and the difference is believing that Jesus is the one and only savior and died on the cross for our sins and rose again to overcome death. That is probably the most important difference.

 

[dogs4thewin]

Muslims, Jews...etc all believe that there is one God too. They just don't believe its Jesus. Belief in Jesus is a minimum requirement for salvation.

Well, they believe Jesus exists, but not that He was God and died for our sins.

 

[RaymondG]

Many people ( who do not consider themselves Christian believe in one God, but do not believe that Jesus is the way to the Father.

Jesus is the way to the Father....Jesus is not the Father.....the Father is not Jesus......Jesus and the Father are one and the Same one God.......... a lot to wrap your head around...... Maybe few will figure this out and this is why few will make it......

 

[Neostarwcc]

Well, they believe Jesus exists, but not that He was God and died for our sins.

Right. They believe he was just a prophet and not God.

 

[RaymondG]

Muslims, Jews...etc all believe that there is one God too. They just don't believe its Jesus. Belief in Jesus is a minimum requirement for salvation.

And when you say belief in Jesus......you mean a belief that He existed as a Man in the past.....and by salvation.....you mean being safe from a fiery death some time in the future correct?

 

[dogs4thewin]

Right. They believe he was just a prophet and not God.

Yes, that is why simply believing in Jesus is not enough

 

[RaymondG]

Right. They believe he was just a prophet and not God.

And you believe that they are wrong and you are correct, right? And they belief the same about you. When i ask them why they same im wrong, they tell me because it is written in their holy book. Since we are the correct ones, Our answer is certainly better than theirs.....Tell me what our answer is.....
