Where Jesus says that the road to heaven is narrow and difficult? Most will not travel it.

Read. The. Scripture.

oh stop with the scripture
To anyone outside of your belief system it's jibberish. The fact that you can't see this gives anything you say even less credibility.
This is a misuse of the scripture Lu...
What was being said was that you should not fear speaking out about your faith because even though people can kill you they cannot kill your soul. The only one who can destroy your soul is the one who created it - God. Basically he was saying you should fear disobeying God more than fearing speaking out about your faith, because Jesus commanded us in the Great Commission to GO and TELL the gospel message.
Not trying to pick a fight at all, just wanted to point that out to you! Take care!
The scripture you quote................
Please take the time to give the context of the verse, if you know it....
It has to do with AFTER Armageddon. Those who are not obedient to what Jesus says will be destroyed and the righteous will have the time to live on, on Earth.
I'll help you out some more because I really do want you to understand this verse; I am not being glib about this...
(Psalm 37:9) For evildoers themselves will be cut off, But those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth.
(Psalm 37:11) But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.
(Psalm 37:29) The righteous themselves will possess the earth, And they will reside forever upon it.
(Psalm 37:34) Hope in Jehovah and keep his way, And he will exalt you to take possession of the earth. When the wicked ones are cut off, you will see [it].
Now, I could go on and on, but nowhere in the Bible does it tell me to go out and kill EVERYONE who does not believe in God; it tells me to love them as I would love myself. And it certainly does not tell me to go out and kill Muslims just because they are Muslim, as the Islamic teaching does of killing Christians and Jews, JUST because they are Christians and Jews.
Not a tactic, just scripture. Take it or leave it.
And you are the one shaming Christianity -- if you truly claim to be one.
Bible scripture does not belong on the politics forum.
Please keep your religious beliefs to the faith forum where it belongs.

I believe Satan quoted scripture to Jesus, didn't he?
In fact, if I'm not entirely mistaken altogether, Satan is entirely capable of appearing as an angel of light. How he must laugh at our cartoon images of him with horns and a tail when in fact he probably looks much more like...well, like...perhaps someone not so very different from Obama, or perhaps Nancy Pelosi.
I came across this scripture today when I was studying. These are the words of Jesus Christ
from the book of Matthew Chapter 10 Verse 28:
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in he!!.
What was it that Oprah called Obama again? The One?
