Quote :"Many are called but few as chosen" is a statement of fact, not a statement of eternal exclusion.

That is great news. If not now...later but better to enter into His rest now and not have to go via the broad way now! :D

Peace to you

Yep!

I've been the broad way.

very overrated!

Paul:
So, basically by adding that remark about nothing entering that defiles or anything, John's just reaffirming the purity of the kingdom? No one's gonna have a sinful nature by that point anyway?

Chris R:
There's no short answer to your question, Isa 26:9 "for when thy judgments [are] in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness"

All the inhabitants [thats us] learn to do right, 1Cor 3:15 "If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire".

This is a process, 1Cor 15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

Universal salvation is a part of the message taught here at bible truths, but not the main message, read all of these articles several times.

Peace

Bradigans:
I'm no authority (Psalms 131:1), but i know that our Lord did say this.

 - Luke 17:20-21 - And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you (John 3:3, John 3:7).

You don't have to die physically to experience and enter the kingdom of God. Why do you think Jesus said this:

 - Matthew 6:19-21 - Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

 - Romans 14:17 - For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

This joy is undescribable. You can have nothing (physically), and yet be in possession of all things. It's like a deep down satisfaction and contentment no matter what's going on on the outside. 

Phil3:10:
Bradigans,
How very true you speak when you state that physical possessions mean little to those spiritual giants. No matter how poor their worldly circumstances they have the peace that passes all understanding. They have what really matters, not things, just HIM.
Phil3:10
