The parable does not twist anything, it it a teaching of Jesus Christ. Why does it offend you to a point where you'd have to resort to a personal attack?
There is no escaping the fact that you have twisted it into a heaven and hell salvation message.

Their expounding of the scriptures is nothing more or less than a belief system that has been shoe horned into them. Disagree with them and to them they you are a persecuting angry rejecters of their so called truth.
Then, he must have been talking about the fundamentalist who doesn't believe that love is first and foremost in any relationship. You know, those that are on his left who do the cursing, while those on his right are entering the narrow gate.
Why on earth would you mention anything at all about the narrow gate, and thus making reference to the wide gate, if you believe that all roads lead to, and all travelers make it, to heaven? Pick a side. Your inconsistency makes you look foolish. Dude, have you even read that passage?

I think you will find he was referring a gate into a way(the way of Jesus), not a gate that is the entrance to some future fundy heaven.
You guys read a "Choose your own Adventure" Bible, don't you?
Yep, God said whithersoever you go i am with you. I am with you always. Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses. Where can I go from your Spirit?Where can I flee from your presence?If I go up to the heavens, you are there;if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.If I rise on the wings of the dawn,if I settle on the far side of the sea,even there your hand will guide me,your right hand will hold me fast.

No, it is a simple message about those who accepted the invitation, and who didn't. You are obsessed with condemning "fundamantalists", which is probably why you never seem to get the messages Jesus was conveying.
Besides, according to your beliefs, everyone enters through one massive gate. Hitler murdered 6 million people while passing through your imaginary gate.

Deny it as much as you want, you have rewritten the parable to be a message of salvation from hell. You are on dangerous ground doing that never mind leading the gullible astray.

They don't miss it. They deny it, choosing instead to make it about them.
