"Enter through the narrow gate;
for the gate is wide and the way
is broad that leads to destruction,
and there are many who enter through it.
"For the gate is small and the way
is narrow that leads to life,
and there are few who find it."
Matthew 7:13-14, bold mine
I've always marveled at cults such as Islam andMormonism* that include the Bible in their list of "good books." In reality, the Bible utterly contradicts and absolutely rejects such belief systems (seeDeuteronomy 4:2; 12:32; Proverbs 30:5-6; Revelation 22:18-19).
I've also often been amazed at the arguments ofotherwise intelligent people who discredit Christianity because they believe it is too "dogmatic & narrow-minded."
My response to this criticism has always been...YOU'RE RIGHT! The Bible is EXTREMELY dogmatic and narrow-minded (when I say to you, "I am the only father of my two daughters, Alison and Jennifer, and they have no other dad besides me," wouldn't you describe me as being "dogmatic and narrow-minded?")
All of creation, including the human being made in the likeness of God, radically reflects the personality and nature of the God of the Bible.
