If these verses below are NOT true, the verses about salvation are not true either. The verses in this paper show some of the HARSHER side of Christ that we may not be familiar with. The other side is just as extreme toward gentleness and forgiveness, etc.
Mat 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
Mat 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
The word “many” in both verses is Strong’s #4183 meaning, “much in any respect, many, largely, abundant … ”
The word “few” is Strong’s #3641 meaning, “puny (in extent, degree, number, duration or value)…” Webster’s Dictionary defines “puny” as “inferior in strength, size or importance.”
