Romans 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall MANY be made righteous. "Many" is opposite of "few". In this passage's context it means ALL. Romans 11:26 And so ALL Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: "All" is opposite of "few". > Few will be saved. Romans 5:18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon ALL men unto justification of life. "All" is opposite of "few". The good news (gospel) is that ALL men will be saved and given the gift of eternal life; because Jesus took away ALL the sin of the world, there is no condemnation at the last day. All men will rise from the dead and know God at the very last day. The "few there be that find it" is in reference to those who find life while yet in the flesh, and avoid the latter punishment prophesied for the world before the last day. Those who trust Christ escape that prophesied calamity and damnation, which will fall upon all nations that reject God as their King. But after they are punished, God raises all up again: "For the LORD will not cast off for ever: But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies. For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men." The Witchtower says, "Few will be saved." The bible says ALL are saved by the blood of Jesus Christ. Do you believe the Witchtower or the Bible? Choose one. The purpose of the "join up now or be damned" dogma is to maintain and increase the revenue streams of religious organizations. -- NightBulb | https://nightbulb.net | Flip the night switch.
