You also make a good point, and I don't think conviction will ever be a shortcoming for you.
If a biblical number I have been seeing, basically means the same thing as my previous prophecy, did God confirm my previous prophecy?

It seems that some churches are scared to bring up the topic of hell. It's almost like they pick the good bits of the Gospels. Until I started to read the Bible I had no idea about this Narrow Gate Matthew 7:13 and Matthew 7:21 'I Never Knew You'
Oddly enough, the book of Revelation was designed to give understanding and comfort to its hearers...Revelation 1:3.No and the reason for me was found in the book of Revelation. When I first read this book it scared me. Revelation 21:8 and why is he repeating himself in Revelation 22:15
To me that shows I need the Lord Jesus more than I thought.
I do think there should be a balance, and in many places there isn't.
The gate isn't said to be narrow in that not many can go through. Heaven is populated by a number that no man can number. It is narrow because entrance is only through Jesus.
It gives a lot of comfort God and people living together again. For me there is some warning in it too.
There is warning. That's what allows for the comfort. Jerusalem was shortly to be destroyed. Knowing what was coming and avoiding the wrath to come would have brought great peace.
So if a person believes in Jesus but still practise magic, is immoral, a liar, a murder, pervert and worship idols they make Heaven?
The Narrow Gate
“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”
So only a few people find Jesus?
No. Those who do those things are by definition unsaved. They haven't been converted, in spite of what they might say.
Jesus, in John 14:6 says He is the way. He also claims to be the door. He alone is the entrance and there is no other. The way is as narrow as Jesus.
I believe you have an wonderful point.
I like this.... Jesus is bigger than this world too.
What road is few that people will find.
Is it the road where the gate is
Because no one will save there life.
So no none will find the road with the gate
John 14:6 is beautiful
So if a person says they believe in Jesus but don't turn away from these things they are not saved. Thanks
I can't speak for you or anyone else, so all I can say is have an open mind to God's Word. If He speaks to the issue then obey it regardless of your experience. I think that's your desire anyhow. Others I've talked to, for example, told me the Bible says they aren't to pray to angels, BUT they were going to anyway because it made them feel good about themselves like a spiritual connection when they did.
Another lady said, I know that God hates divorce, BUT ....
That was a single lady that I considered as potential for marriage, however that kind of attitude will definitely not end well when she has a conflict and that is her default predetermined decision. None of us know better than God and He told us what we need to know already without consulting our fallible feelings and thoughts.
That said, on the positive side, since you posted this thread, I had a number of awesome situations and even numbers God showed me.
First numbers... Without going into details, which is worthy of an entire chapter, God led me to exact cross references linking specifics from one book to the verse in another book. That might not be much some say, but it was exactly on topic and He reinforced His teaching, guiding me to places I had only read but not memorized the reference address. Only the Holy Spirit could do that . It brought Glory to the Father. He got the thanks and praise, so I know that was from Him.
I hope this helps.
A Situation occured that I'll post when I get enough time again.
King David lied.
King David murdered.
King David committed a sexual perversion worthy of the death penalty.
Are you saying that David did not have eternal life, but was merely on probation?
hi sunnyJohn 14:6 is beautiful
So if a person says they believe in Jesus but don't turn away from these things they are not saved. Thanks
I think he's saying this
Mathew
But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
In a another scripture it says no can save there own life
I am reading about King David for the first time at the moment and when he committed Adultery with Bathsheba God wasn't happy. David prayed to God that his son would get well but no the child dies.
I guess God has to be fair. Like a parent if a child is nasty they lose out on something.
Yes, i see now thanks. No one can own their way to Heaven only by Jesus is it possible thanks for helping
your very welcome, I like your manner to acknowledge the important thingsYes, i see now thanks. No one can own their way to Heaven only by Jesus is it possible thanks for helping
Many people make a common mistake with the narrow gate scripture.
I have seen people use that number to win an argument.
It's funny Im pretty sure the correct number means no one can save there own life.
2 Corinthians 5:17..if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.John 14:6 is beautiful
So if a person says they believe in Jesus but don't turn away from these things they are not saved. Thanks
No. I'm saying those who practice or have a lifestyle of ongoing sin and void of repentance are not saved.
David committed those sins, but repented and discontinued them. Sometimes Christians commit very heinous sins. But God will always come to the Christian and bring conviction for sin and grant a Godly sorrow unto repentance.
