The Reasons why "Just Following Jesus" Doesn't work

[Rhondazvous]

Yes, he said everybody who calls him lord lord will not enter his kingdom. But if you're not a Jew, how do you obey a guy who said he came only for the Jews and told his disciples that the reason he spoke in parables was so that outsiders would not understand and be saved?

Technically, what he said was "NOT everyone who says Lord Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven". Not trying to disrespect you, but if we're going to attack them, it must be on the merits.

I understand the difference you're making and am usually more careful. In fact. I usually quote exact verses.  If I did not have friends like you to correct me  when I get lazy, I'd never get any kudos. Thanks.

New International Version
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven

And when He was alone, they that were about Him with the twelve asked of Him the parable.  And He said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables.

“That seeing they may see, and not perceived: and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted and their sins should be forgiven them.  And He said unto them, Know ye not this parable? And how then will you know all parables?
