10% Jesus.

(1/3) > >>

David:
Hi everyone, I just thought I would share this with you just to show where some people hearts and minds are.

I received a message from someone that said "I see you believe in universal salvation. I would like to point out to you that Jesus will only save 1/10 people, the others will go to hell forever. It is impossible for Jesus to save everyone, there are just too many. God has a place in heaven for only 1 in 10. The Bible says that Jesus will not and does not have to save all the world (no scripture provided), he can only save 1/10."
So, Jesus Christ is a 90% failure in this mans mind, which in academic terms would make Him a drop out. God made such a hash of creating heaven according to this guy, He only has room for 10% of the population He created (so by impication this guy thinks heaven is a rock out ther some palce, must be a small one), if He were a property developer, He'd go out of business and fail miserably. And this 90% failure this guy worships with all his heart and mind.

Do you think Ray would give this a guy a "brilliant"?  ;)

Interestingly enough, this is nothing new under the sun, The quote below, was written by [retired] President John Adams, to then [retired] President Thomas Jefferson, in the year 1818.

I had debated on posting it in general forum, if only to show that all men were not deceived by such rubbish hundreds of years ago...however a word of caution, if this thread were to turn to a political discussion...i will have to remove it.

God has infinite wisdom, goodness, and power; he created the universe; his duration is eternal, a parte ante and a parte post. His presence is as extensive as space. What is space? An infinite spherical vacuum. He created this speck of dirt and the human species for his glory; and with the deliberate design of making nine tenths of our species miserable for ever for his glory. This is the doctrine of Christian theologians, in general, ten to one. Now, my friend, can prophecies or miracles convince you or me that infinite benevolence, wisdom, and power, created, and preserves for a time, innumerable millions, to make them miserable for ever, for his own glory? Wretch! What is his glory? Is he ambitious? Does he want promotion? Is he vain, tickled with adulation, exulting and triumphing in his power and the sweetness of his vengeance? Pardon me, my Maker, for these awful questions. My answer to them is always ready. I believe no such things. My adoration of the author of the universe is too profound and too sincere. The love of God and his creation — delight, joy, triumph, exultation in my own existence — though but an atom, a molecule organ- ique in the universe — are my religion. [John Adams]

Peace

I would also like to know where this quote is from. I know there are some writings of Abraham Lincoln that are similar. It would be interestng to have both of those with footnotes...maybe a project for the weekend.

Dave in Tenn:
I think that's in the Bible someplace, David.  Bring your tithes into the storehouse, so Heaven is the storehouse and God will bring his tithes there and the rest will be burnt offerings.  I think I read that somewhere.

I'd go on, but I have to go start a denomination.  Others need to learn this truth and I need to make a living.
