Is the Pathway to Heaven the Narrow One?

[Snow4JC]

Smile & Be Joyful 4 GOD Loves U!

I have been studying some Bible verses and I think the pathway to heaven is the narrow way.

I do believe that accepting Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and knowing that He died on a cross for my Salvation (and yours) is the Start of the pathway.

However, I am realizing that there is alot more to do, then only accepting Him. Jesus did help the poor, fed and gave them drink. These are good works then and now, to those who give and recieve.

I am learning that I can no longer associate with folks who don't do as Jesus did/does. I don't do this to begin with.

I must discern just about everything I hear, that doesn't sound like it came from the King James Bible.

I don't know if you know this or not but some Bibles being published today have added and deleted words to them.

Man's traditions are in every church around where I live. So finding a true Bible preaching church is tuff.

Praying is very Important. I would say it is 2nd on the pathway UP. There are people who don't know how to pray, I know I was one of them. I could recite a prayer however to just pray johnny on the spot, I was dud, not good at it.

I am still not that great but I do do it. I didn't give up.

Well I could go on and maube I will later on.

Now you can add your thoughts to this topic.

I will probably draw the wrath of many here, but your post is one of the most self-righteous I have ever seen on any Christian message board. You "don't associate with folks who don't do as Jesus did?" You must have a real small group of friends! You are definitely riding the glorious hot air balloon dear soul.

As I've commented before the measure of a Christian is probably more the realization of just what a sinner he/she is rather than how good they are and how they need to build a barrier between themselves and the world we live in. Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall. Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly than to divide the spoil with the proud.

You invited my thoughts and you have them. I hope you see them as helpful at some point in the future rather as an attack.

You'd do well to heed your own advise.

The path is indeed narrow.

"Enter by the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.

Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it". Matthew 7:13-14

Matthew 6:9 says "In this manner therefore pray"...He gives us the Lords prayer. He already knows what's on your mind and what your needs are. I start all of my prayers with the Lords prayer. Sometimes that's all I pray.

Hanging out with those who don't believe is really not a bad thing. You never know, maybe a little bit of God will rub off on them.

Anyway...I found nothing wrong with your post.

You can't be faulted for trying.

No.

Thank you for your thought on this topic.

I should have made myself more clear and said that I don't associate with people who use the "F" word, take the Lord's name in vain, and think the good life is having Big house, lots of money and all kind's of big people's toys.

As far as friend's go I don't have but one or two. When you Choose to walk a Holy life. it's only you and GOD on the narrow pathway.

You call that dragging her over the coals, chief? It wasn't that I forgot to answer the question. The narrow way is Christ, not some new form of monasticism. But her greater question was our opinion of how she was attempting to define the narrow way. God will divide the sheep from the goats someday. It is not our job to do so now in our blindness and hypocrisy.

Then why do you continue to try and do so?

And while you're there whipping yourself, why don't give yourself a couple of extra whacks for that "chief" comment.
