Right. It's not a tightrope. Few is not "almost none." Too many here dismiss most Christians as heretics and damned to hell because of insignificant differences.

Let me guess, you watch Fox News and One America News?

Even Fox News is basically Left-Wing. If One America is consistently conservative, that is the only news source Christians should watch. I don't know too much about it except that it is supposed to be conservative.

All well and good, except for the fact what you said actually does contradict scripture. You said: "a tightrope is a one-person-a-time thing, so that means very few will get there. It's also difficult to stay on, and many will fall off meaning even fewer. Neither of those are biblical principles."

Matthew 7:14 sounds like a Biblical principle to me. It contradicts entirely what you said. "Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it."

Yet it doesn't say very few, it just say sys few. You're adding to scripture something that isn't there, which is one of the two points I was making with the tightrope. Cleary we aren't going to agree on "perseverance of the saints", which is fine, it's not essential to understand or agree with it. That was the other point of the tightrope example.

I am still adjusting LOL though we went metric fifty years ago! If I speak in fahrenheit, my
daughter will say, "I have no idea what you are talking about." Ha. But I do find it more accurate.
And grocery stores often offer both pricing options (pounds and kilos).

I'm not worried about the phone. The user is generally the problem. Google has in this sense made life much easier for me.

Do you have examples of any other scriptures that suggest that when Jesus said "few" He didn't mean "very few?" Did He ever differentiate? It seems to me you're the one adding to scripture things that aren't there.

Sure. But that is not even the issue when the entire population has been targeted with biological weapons. You ban something because it is a clear and present danger to the entire population. Why do you think the Nuremberg Code was written up? And when it needed to be applied it was ignored.

Sounds like Christians need to mount up an army and take over the world... cause it's in the people's best interest!

We can do like the muslims and convert by the sword... or the AR-15

Those that suffer from Cherry Pickers Syndrome (CPS) do things like this frequently in efforts to make their preconceived ideas to be truth

In these last days, we are seeing a lot of CPS going around.

It's the Joseph Goebbels counterpart for Trump.

And I suspect that the only reason Trump claims to be anti-abortion is because now he's not paying for any at this stage in his life.

Or maybe because he's not into murdering the unborn, like some other "politicians" (and their constituents) are.

We didn't murder our unborn, so I have children,
THEY didn't murder their unborn, so I have grand kids.
THEY didn't murder their unborn, so I have Great Grand kids.

That's the way it's supposed to work, but it is more work that way (chuckle!!).
