Finn_Jarber, the Tense DOES matter when your trying to use the verse in a manner it never was used in. If the Lord said it in the Present Tense, then to use the verse in the Future Tense is to put words in Jesus mouth. You used the verse to promote that it meant that Few will EVER Find the way.

Do you have a point? Are you saying Jesus meant that only few found it on the day he made the comment, but after that day everyone will find it?

I don't see a problem, and nor have you told me what your point is. Do you really believe that the teachings of Jesus do not apply to present day, and to future days because you found a word in present tense?
Actually, never mind. I am tired of making points which will be ignored anyway.
It must be a burden to defend a belief which is contradicted in practically every chapter in the Bible. When you try to defend it like this you do nothing but point out the falsehood of ur.

Finn_Jarber, the verse said PRESENT Tense. You want me to embrace it as FUTURE Tense. Your desire is denied.
I can't show you what God doesn't want you to see.
How would you know since you haven't even tried.
