But, there will be people that won't "go to the light". Why? Probably many reasons. The main being guilt, and not
wanting to be judged!
But, Jesus also said: "I won't judge you. You will judge yourselves."
I love Jesus!
Jesus also supposedly said that people who love their families more than they love him can't be one of his followers.
What's wrong with Loving God more? Do you love your sisters and brothers more than your father or mother?
Jesus is always taken out of context? He spoke in parables for most of His ministry. Until He announced that He would speak "directly" to His apostles. Which they were amazed, and open to at that point.
People then, and even now couldn't understand the concepts He brought. They needed to be shown, and proved to! That's why He died and came back to life! To show that He was the Way to Eternal Life!
Matt 10:37 "He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38"And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 39"He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it."
Quis ut Deus?
