Bible Note: I must disagree with you about Heaven being filled in contrast to Hell being empty. Although our God does want it that way, He knows mankind better than we know ourselves and Jesus said Matt 7:13 "Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. 14 "For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it. This concept is NOT new to the NT, it was well established in the OT. See 2 Ki 19:31, 2 Chr 36:20, Is 10:22 and Jer 31:7. Copied for reference Mi 2:12 "I will surely gather all of you, O Jacob; I will surely bring together the remnant of Israel. I will bring them together like sheep in a pen, like a flock in its pasture; the place will throng with people. So you see, if the majority of mankind actually made it to Heaven, that wouldn't be such a glorious thing. That's the way we run this country and most of the world. In contrast is God's way and in His world only a minority will actually make it to Heaven. Hope to see you there. God bless. --Rowdy PS: I noticed your use of the word "excepted" in your post. I think the word you're looking for is "accepted." |
