I'm curious what percent of the current population would be saved?

That's difficult to ascertain because although everyone alive right now was
born a sinner, it's possible that not everyone right now is a guilty sinner.

Apparently children's sins don't go in the books till they reach something
called an age of accountability. I don't know whether that's true but certain
passages sort of imply it, e.g. 2Sam 12:23, Jonah 4:11, and Matt 18:3

If we arbitrarily assign the age of accountability here in the USA to be 18,
then it's not too difficult to figure out the percentage of my country's
population that could be saved were everyone wiped out this very day by a
super duper king size Carrington Event.

According to the US Census Bureau: as of Oct 10, 2024 @ 08:17 pm New
York time, the resident population in the United States was approximately
337,247,452

According to 2020 US Census data; roughly 77.9% of America's population
was over the age of 18, which if applied to the USA's current population
would amount to 262,715,765 adults.

Jesus said that the majority has not been making it to safety when they
cross over to the other side. So a simple minority of 49% of the
262,715,765 amounts to 128,730,725 and when we throw in all the
underage kids, the grand total is 203,262,412 which is like 60% of the USA's
current population.

That's a pretty conservative estimate because Jesus didn't give us an exact
percentage number to represent the majority that ends up lost.

Seems odd keeping count of the amount of people going to hell.

Did the Lord not say to not to discuss or think about where other people are going once they die, or something along those lines?

● Mark 9:47-48 . . If your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out. It is better to
enter the kingdom of God half blind than to have two eyes and be thrown
into Hell; where the worm never dies and the fire never goes out.

Punishment by parasites is unusual but not unheard of; for example:

● Acts 12:21-23 . . On an appointed day Herod, wearing his royal robes, sat
on his throne and delivered a public address to the people. They shouted:
This is the voice of a god, not of a man. Immediately, because Herod did not
give credit to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten
by worms and died.

The exact species of worms spoken of here has yet to be identified with
certainty. It's believed possible by some that the worms centered upon his
bowels like termites and carpenter ants; so that Herod must've been in
terrible agony towards the end.

The point to note in this case is that Herod survived with the critters for a
while before finally becoming too weak to carry on. The poor man was
literally eaten to death.

● John 10:29 . . My sheep . . my Father gave them to me

Now, those sheep weren't exactly a freebee, viz: the sheep didn't come
cheap. Jesus bought and paid for them himself at enormous personal
expense.

● 1Pet 1:18-19 . . For you know that it was not with perishable things such
as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed
down to you from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a
lamb without blemish or defect.

There are people out and about who sincerely believe that Jesus' sheep--
having been bought and paid for at the price of his own blood --are in a
position to negotiate the terms of their association with him. They actually
believe their rightful owner should stand aside while they disown him sans
fair and equitable compensation, and walk out the door to start a new life
elsewhere, possibly with some other rancher, maybe even one of his
competitors.

There's some apropos lines in a movie called The Hunt For Red October that
go like this:

Dr. Ryan: We definitely grab the boat, sir.

National Security Advisor: Hey, wait a minute. We're not talking about some
stray pilot with a MIG. We're talking about several billion dollars worth of
Soviet state property. They're gonna to want it back.

Duh!

● 1Cor 6:19-20 . .You are not your own; you were bought at a price.
