   Frank to All   
   Narrow Versus Wide

   From: roines@mindspring.com   
      
   Many go thru the wide gate where people   
   trust in their own so-called "righteousness"   
   in vain to save themselves:  a billion Catholics,   
   a billion Protestants, and the other five billion   
   of the world.   
      
   But Christ causes a few to find the narrow gate   
   where Christ gives people faith to trust him   
   to be righteous for us for salvation,   
   so that they turn away from all trust in   
   their own "righteousness" for salvation.   
      
   That is the real Biblical Gospel that the world   
   has cast away twice, once after the Apostles,   
   and once after the Reformers; and that   
   the world is now disregarding and opposing   
   on Christian newsgroups.   
      
   Enter ye in at the strait gate:   
   for wide is the gate, and broad is the way,   
   that leadeth to destruction,   
   and many there be which go in thereat:   
   Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way,   
   which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.   
   (Matthew 7:13-14 KJV)   
      
   Christ showed the real Biblical Gospel to me,   
   same as to Paul and Luther,   
   because the world   
   had cast it away for the second time.   
   Christ caused that Gospel to be posted   
   on Christian newsgroups, and on my website   
   along with hundreds of Gospel articles:   
      
   Christ saves us by giving us faith to trust him   
   to be righteous for us forever for salvation.   
   (Romans 1:16-17, 3:22-23, 4:3-6, 5:17-19)
