in Revelation it says that the whole world refuses to stop serving demons.

even though they soon die for it, condemned.

all through Scripture, it is written, "a few" are saved. like 8(Noah) .... and Lot and his daughters....

the road is narrow, that leads to life, and few are there who find it.

the road is broad, that leads to destruction, and many are on it.... they chose to stay on it.... right? (yes)

Please point me to this very scripture, I don't think I have ever read it before.

It's not in Revelation.   Jesus said it:

Matthew 7:13-14

"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 the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.

I meant about the world not serving demons any longer.

When God created Adam, He said it was good.

When Adam fell, he didn't become evil, he became wounded in his soul, a wounding that would be transmitted to all who came after him, inheriting a fallen human nature.

 

No, on the day he disobeyed God, he died just as God said.  It was a spiritual death.  Which is why Jesus came to bring us back to life.

Yes, the fall caused spiritual death. Our fallen human nature is the result.   Spiritual death and evil are not synonymous words.

And yet not one is good, as others have already quoted.  I don't think it's a grey area, pretty clear  to me.

No one is good compared to God.

It depends what perspective you are looking at things.

Humans, compared to each other, are basically good in their dealings with each other.   There is a desire in most people to be good.  If human beings were truly evil, this could not be the case.  Yet we see people reaching out to help others all the time.

Humans, compared to God, are not good.

Yes Jeff, that's already been settled, thank you.  I just read it wrong.

No one is good = people are basically good?  I disagree.
