JD ================================================================= "I came to seek and save the lost " was in the Gospel accounts too.  Was that only for the Jews?  I thought you said the other day that you turned the other cheek.  That was Gospel too.  Are you Jewish?  It is true that Jesus was born under the law and remained under the law until He was crucified, but His messages were the good news of the Gospel, to everyone able to receive it.  One of those messages said Few there be that find it. When Sodom and Gomorrah went down, few eszaped God's judgment.  When water covered the world and all flesh died that was not in the ark, few escaped God's judgment.  When Israel left Egypt for the promised land, of all the slaves that started the journey, two made it to the promised land. See any pattern here? Terry
