The Strait Gate Versus Broadway. Part [3] 03/05/2024 (Morning thought)

Isaiah 30:That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord: 10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits: 11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.

The other divergent view, which has its origins with satan is the Broad way in which any and everything goes. This view of life allows persons to do whatever they please whether it’s in line with the Bible or not, and it puts the icing on the cake, by offering eternal life right after death, regardless of who you are, and regardless of what you have done.

On “Broad Way” folks are allowed to smoke weed, to drink alcohol, to eat forbidden foods, to indulge in same-sex marriage, to have multiple wives, and mistresses, to curse out those they may not agree with, to cheat on one’s taxes, to pay hush money to silence the truth, to bribe politicians, and to come out and tell lies every day, with seeming impunity. It's funny, because on the broad way, you are also permitted to read your Bible and go to church on a regular basis and you can pray to God for blessings and deliverance, just like the one who is striving to subjugate the lusts of the flesh.

So, basically, the Broad way presents an apparent win-win situation, where persons are accorded the best of two worlds, as they do whatever they might please, whenever and howsoever they may choose, and somehow, end up in heaven, with a crown on their heads at the end of the day.

Romans 8:For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
