The Narrow Gate

Christians think that Christianity is the narrow gate spoken of in the gospels.

"Enter through the small gate. For large is the gate, and wide is the road that leads through to ruin, and many are those who travel along it. For small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to life, and few are they who discover it." - Matay (Matthew) 7:13-14

If we were to consider the religions of the world according to their size and prevalence there is no way Christianity could be called the "narrow gate" as it is the largest most accessible religion in the world and has been for a long time. Consider that the religion of Rabbi Yeshua the messiah was Judaism, and Judaism is one of the very smallest and least accessible religions in the world making up much less than 1%.

"For you are a select people unto YHWH your God. YHWH your God has chosen you to be a special people for Himself, above all people who are upon the face of the earth. YHWH did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because you were greater in number than any other people, for you were the fewest of all people:" - Deuteronomy 7:7

Now if we take a closer look at the thin slice of Judaism and its main sects, we see that Natzari Judaism is just a narrow slice of the already small pie. Certainly this path is one that few will discover.

But if we even expand that tiny section of Judaism called Natzraya, we would also find that not all who call themselves Natzraya or Nazarenes are authentic.

"Beware of false prophets who come to you in the clothing of lambs, but underneath they are predatory wolves." - Matay 7:15
