A
recent survey indicates that most people think they are going to heaven, but
Jesus said that most will be going elsewhere:
Jesus passed
through towns went and making his way to Jerusalem. Someone asked Him,
“Lord, will only a few people be saved?”
He answered
them, “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I tell you, will
attempt to enter but will not be strong enough.”
~ Luke
13:22-30
Religious
leaders should spend less time preaching “God is love” and more time preaching
“repent or go to hell” like this:
“The greater
part of men choose to be damned rather than to love Almighty God.”
~ St.
Alphonsus Maria Liguori
“ . . . on
the threshing floor, few are the grains carried into the barns,
but high are
the piles of chaff burned with fire.”
~ Pope St.
Gregory the Great
“It is
certain that few are saved.”
~ St.
Augustine
“Out of one
hundred thousand sinners who continue in sin until death, scarcely one will be
saved.”
~ St. Jerome
“What I am
about to tell you is very terrible, yet I will not conceal it from you.
Out of this
thickly populated city with its thousands of inhabitants,
not one
hundred will be saved. I even doubt that there will be as many as that.”
~ St. John
Chrysostom
“Christ’s
flock is called little [Luke 12:32] in comparison with the greater number of
reprobates.”
~ St. Bede
the Venerable
“The greater
part of men will set no value on the Blood of Christ and will go on offending
Him.”
~ St. Isidore
of Seville – Father and Doctor of the Church
“How few the
elect are may be understood from the multitude being cast out.”
~ St. Hilary
of Poitiers
“The majority
of men will not see God excepting those who live justly
purified by
righteousness and by ever other virtue.”
~ St. Justin
– Martyr
“There are a
select few who are saved.”
~ St. Thomas
Aquinas
“The number
of elect is so small – so small – that were we to know how small it is, we
would
Faint away
with grief: one here and there, scattered up and down the world.”
~ St. Louis
Marie De Montfort
Sadly,
the vast majority of people will go to hell because they choose to.
