1. It's such a small percentage because only 1 sect would be closer to the original interpretation of gods word.
2. All non christians or the ones that never heard about him add them into going to hell as well.
3. Even if you give your life over to jesus the choice already has been made - reason behind it
god of the bible is pre-deterministic and if you were to do something that isn't planned for you to do
like the fact god messed with the pharaohs free will in letting gods people go.
Those numbers are all assuming you actually believe that that's how it works and that everyone who is not a Christian is automatically going to Hell no matter what.
....Which I definitely do not. Your point #3 isn't even something I've ever heard of.
He's referring to a Calvinist doctrine called Predestination. Calvin was an early protestant, so I don't expect you to be familiar with his teachings unless you went out of your way to learn about him. I was a Presbyterian, which is a Calvinist denomination, which might be the only reason I've heard of him.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
