Jesus clearly said, few will be saved. If I had to guess, today, it's probably less than 1% in the usa.

I would say you don't know what salvation is to believe something like this.

No it doesn't, this is an handed down belief that you believe that you have not thought through and made your wn mind up about. No it is not in the scriptures.

You don't even know the meaning of justice for God's sake.

He dishes out an eternal sentence with no chance whatsoever of parole for even one crime you commit if you don't believe in Christ? Kind of like being thrown into prison for life for a speeding ticket? This is your version of justice?


You people who always cry God can't save everyone because He is just don't even understand the meaning of justice....justice is fair, isn't it? Not ours to question you will say and on and on the debate goes..but it comes down to a hard heart really.
