"Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. "For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it." Matt 7:13-14 NAS
Some criticize the Bible as being narrow-minded and exclusive because Jesus states He is the only gate leading to the way of salvation and eternal life.
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. John 14:6 NAS
I am the gate. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture. John 10:9 NAS
What those who object, fail to consider, is that the way is narrow because the truth is always narrow and exclusive, never contradicting itself, and always excluding its opposites.
Every faith is narrow and exclusive, believing they have the truth; no one knowingly places their trust in something they know for sure is a lie. But all beliefs about God contradict each other at some point, especially when it comes to salvation and life after death. People have the right to believe whatever they want, but since truth never contradicts itself, every belief cannot be true.
Truth is true for everyone, everywhere, and never changes to respect opposing beliefs. We either believe the truth, or we believe something else. If Jesus truly is the only way to eternal life, the many beliefs that contradict Him are in error.
Jesus is telling us that He is the one true way to eternal life. For all who choose to believe, He makes the following ironclad promise. A refusal to believe the truth is the one error that the Bible tells us will keep a person off the narrow way of truth.
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." John 3:16 NAS

If I may say so, within the data of recent Barna and PEW USA reports, there is no doubt that the majority of those who self-identify as being Christian are choosing to believe self-edifying half-truths, and even worse, is their sharing those half-truths with others.
