Remember Adam? You know, the one who sinned in the garden of Eden? According to what Christendom tells us, Adam's disobedience has caused all mankind to be made sinful.
But what about Christ? Christ is called "the Last Adam."
So what kind of influence is Christ having on the world today?
Is Christ's influence as "wide spread" as that of Adam?
If Adam caused 100 percent of people to be sinners, what amount is Christ causing to be saints? 10 percent? 50 percent? 100 percent? 110 percent?
Well I think you know what my answer is to that Brian!! Christ is the winner by a landslide, or he will be in the end!! Praise God!! It just don't get no better than that!

Wherever sin abounds, grace does much more abound. AS in adam all die, so in Christ will all be made alive.
I think Father wanted to create an eternal paradise. Unfortunately Adam wrecked the paradise.
Father started thinking how to fix it.
During Noach's time He figured out plan B.
The great flood.
That fixed it.
Well.... for a little while that is.
So He started thinking again and about 2000 years ago He sent plan C - Jesus.
That didn't work out very well either. Most mocked Jesus. Just a few believed Him.
That few became even less when mankind started "improving" Jesus's teachings.
God being allknowing and allmighty quickly saw plan C failed also. Moderator cut: deleteFryhard ET mode off.

It isn't a contest. What makes the OP think it is?
That was my same thoughts when I read the OP..... !! sad indeed !!
Luke 6:45
" The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart.
Jeremiah 9:8
"Their tongue is a deadly arrow; it speaks deceit;with his mouth one speaks peace to his neighbor, but inwardly he sets an ambush for him.....

Yes, all we need to do is choose a team, -the winning team, or the losing team. Choose wisely my friends. Do not throw away the free gift of salvation.

What amount? 100% of those who accept the gift will be saved.

It is nothing but an attempt to say that Jesus is a loser if he does not save those who reject Him. Well, He doesn't, because He promises eternal life to those who believe in Him, and eternal death to those who reject Him.
When people say things like that they judge God, and it is a sad sight to see.
