It is always amazing how many people feel the need to tell others how to live their lives.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS. Christians and Liberals...the most " open minded" sectors of the population, simply can't stand it when someone has a view that differs with theirs....
Why do the two of you hide behind such a shallow set of words.
You both have morals and dogmas that you believe are the correct way to live life. I can guarantee you you tell people who will listen about them.
No one here is forcing anyone to believe or do anything. Christians are simply stating what they believe. On the contrary, it is the radical Christian haters who try and shut down the discussion.
You are no better than a radical Muslim and your end result is to drive people away from Christ.
Kinda brings to mind writings about paths and one being wide and straight, the other narrow and difficult. Ever heard about something like that?
You are correct with the first definition, but no need for the "and."
"Straight" means narrow, not difficult. Context is comparing wide to narrow, but that's where the definition is about salvation through the one narrow way of Jesus the Good Shepherd. The difficult works of religious rituals, behavior and the law are numerous. Jesus way is rejecting those ways and focus that object of faith upon that Shepherd, to follow the analogy.
Matthew 7 "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
What JIm Con and others should do is quit making excuses for their refusal of Christ, like .....Christians are meanies and don't like me falsely accusing them, trolling and blaspheming their Savior....instead CHOOSE the one and only path that leads to the sheepfold.
