A question for all Christians..

For the gate is small, and the way is narrow that leads to life, and few are those that find it.

Taking this into consideration...
For the gate is small, and the way is narrow that leads to life, and few are those that find it.
The words of the Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 7:14).

...do you believe you will attain heaven?

"Strive to enter in by the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able"

There are roughly 2 billion Christians in the world. If the above two quotes are true, a lot of people will be disappointed. Why do you feel this is?

Depends on the what if question. What if the Muslims are right is a legitimate what if. But what if the real way to get into Heaven is to climb Mount Everest and roast a marshmellow with a toothpick and a Bic lighter is not a legitimate what if.

What if airplanes could only fly east would be fun to think about, but after you laugh at the logistics and length it would take to go 500 miles west by traveling east you'd be bored with the what if in about five minutes. Not a real what if possibility.

But assume it is a reality that airplanes can only travel east. If we asked what if we could also fly west. How would we do that. What will happen. Then we have a real what if to think about.



Sorry if I have offended you in anyway that makes you think to ask "just for those who do not share your particular set of beliefs to concern themselves with?" is in my mindset. Please forgive any unintened arrogance in my post. That is not my intent.
