Only a judgmental fool would make such a statement. You don't know "most professing Christians" and even if you did, you are ill-qualified to judge them.

It seems to me that your statement condemns you. I actually have the Scriptures on my side.

The Lord said "Strive [literally, agonize] to enter in by the narrow door." That command reveals that the easy-believism which is inarguably rampant in our day is a fraud, winston.

The rest of His sentence was "...for many shall seek to enter in and shall not be able." This reveals that easy-believism is a counterfeit which definitely will fool many strictly nominal Christians.

One of the reasons why Calvinists notice the problem of easy-believism is because they believe that very verse! (You Arminians just don't face the verse soberly.)

Another passage parallels this one with its idea of a narrow doorway of salvation: the parallel passage says "Strait is the gate and narrow is the way that leads to life, and few there be which find it.

Again, this underscores exactly what I said in the post which you (judgmentally and foolishly) scoffed at as the statement of a judgmental fool.

This becomes even more obvious when you read what the Lord went on to say: "For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many will go in thereat."

So, the problem of easy-believism is a bigger problem than you have been willing to admit. It is Satanic. This is why you have falsely accused me (over and over and over).

That, in turn, is why I have no intentions of continuing this discussion with you.

Interesting that you nit pick the word ALL to death saying it always means all of every kind and sort..and now you find fault with the term most...

Yes we do know "most "when we see it...

The gospel never promised it would be all or most..Jesus said MANY are called but FEW are chosen

I agree. Teaching in Texas when the musical was popular, I used Mary's song and a couple of others for discussion and theme writing in 8th grade English. Some of the students didn't know the Biblical story of Easter. They enjoyed the music and the discussion.

Taken separately, some of the music is very good of its genre, and the inuendos seen in the entire musical are not presented. dBefore making a decision on this particular medley, I would have to hear it. Then it would be subjective for every person.
