Those two points are the very ones you are misreading my post on.
What I actually posted and what you are asserting I posted are worlds apart :chuckle:
Not one of you have been able to answer the question and as usual it has deteriorated into shambles and stupidity. The is no reverence and awe in your approach to that which is holy and that is the bitter fruit of the unregenerate, wicked mind.
In this matter I shall, "shake the dust off my feet" and leave you in the darkness you so love.

Lol - yeah; ooooh kay...
Consider that your OP was like that of some others on various forums on here.
Those who not only conclude they have found some supposed nugget of wisdom they alone have been made privy too, but which, instead of sharing it; they remain on their high horse and post one form or another of what is really nothing more than their fool "I bet no one can answer this, that, the other..."
Then, when that bears its' predictable fruit; no answer that satisfies such a fool compulsion; they storm off in protest; til their next fool impulse to act the fool :chuckle:
You should just state your case; post your so called finding.
You did not, becuase you were focused on you; and now you are upset; because you are focused on you.
Allow Christ to be the issue; and you'll not only not post such fool "I bet no one can figure this, that, the other" baiting questions and or comments, but you won't be phased in the least; when things don't go your way.
In short...
Romans 5:3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 5:4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
Allow Christ's having died for you to be your focus. This alone should be more than enough to keep you happy as a lark and then some, not only when you find yourself compelled to want things your way; but when things go any way but yours :chuckle:

You need to take a little more time thinking over what thoughts you are trying to convey.

Of course you did not even attempt to prove what I said about this verse is in error:
"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: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it" (Mt.7:13-14).
The ONLY way that anyone enters into life is by faith:
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (Jn.3:16).
If you cannot understand this simple truth then you have not entered through the strait gate and therefore you remain on the outside looking in.

Once he thinks about his thoughts, will you be able to understand his thoughts even while you may think differently?
You can't even explain what the gate is. Here's a clue:
Finding the strait gate means....
Entering the gate means.....
Being in the narrow way means....
If you don't know then don't attempt answering. Guess work in relation to saving truth is an abomination.
As James said to them, show them your faith by your works. The way of circumcision is a heavy burden. I am thankful my way to God which was through the cross is easy....for me anyway. It was not easy for the Lord Jesus Christ.
Hi and you did not answer post # 39 or did you forget , but I think that you do not know ??
So , are you a Jew or ma GENTILE ?

I know the answer it is you who is clueless. Let us look at this passage again:
"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: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it" (Mt.7:13-14).
What leads to life?
Faith!
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (Jn.3:16).
You think that my answer is wrong but you do not give what you think is the correct answer.
What leads to life if it isn't faith?
The experience and the ability to explain the experience is certain proof of salvation. You have not explained the experience and you won't unless you are converted.

It is you who has no clue so until you are converted then you will not be able to understand that the gate which leads to life is faith.
The gate does not lead to faith so stop taking pot shots in the hope of getting it right.
You can quote all the verses you like, but none of them explain the symbolism of the Gate, not finding the gate nor passing through the gate nor walking in the narrow way. Stop taking pot shots, you're unregenerate behaviour is evident.

Of course you know that everyone else is wrong about what the gate represents but you are keeping it a secret as to what it does represent.
You have no credibility on this thread.
I'm not keeping it a secret. Only the heirs can benefit from a will.

Spit it out man. If you actually have an answer to the meaning of the gate then let's hear it. You've talked in riddles long enough.
What is the gate which leads to life?
