You are right, but you can saved those who think they are saved. I been a member of christian forums since 2008.. no one thinks they have it wrong except those who know they can't possible have it right and need God to forgive them for the messed up way they worship. Ironically it is in the omission of not knowing and relying on tradition, tht makes one right with God.
The idea of the wise and foolish builder means when God abandons a faith or system of belief when the people test their faith or their faith is tested by hardship that 'god' will not be there to help them. that means their house/their faith is destroyed by the absence of God which would/should inspire those truly looking for God the opportunity to start over and try again.
Then the bible should just indicate that and not leave it up to 20,000 different interpretations for people to figure out.
