Why do people receive all the positive from the Bible but reject the negative things that God says will happen? This makes me sad. We can’t pick and

Choose what we will believe. If we believe God, we must believe it all, not just the good. Also putting our heads in the sand won’t change it one bit if we choose to not believe God!

People want to believe it's easy. Jesus warned us that it would not be easy but churches would be empty if that's what they preached. They are preaching say the sinners prayer and you automatically go to heaven. I see many defending this position and are doing harm. Being saved is a process by which we are transformed. This requires bad things to happen so that we are forced to look inwardly. It's not pleasant so many must protect their belief system by denying it.

@curiosi 👍🏻 He said we would by much Tribulation enter the kingdom of God... Acts 14:22-24 King James Version (KJV)

22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. Jesus said also that few would find eternal life...Matthew 7:13-14 King James Version (KJV)

13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, [b]and few there be that find it. [/b]. Thank you ..🙏🤗 also we must be born again! John chapter 3 [5] Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. [6] That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. [7] Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
