so, how many people will go to Heaven?
hmm.... in today's world (not including people in Biblical times):
(1) one-third of the entire world is devoted to Christianity, so the number of seats available in Heaven drops substantially.
(2) the majority of the 2.1 billion Christians don't practice the Bible as we should. God commands us to rightly divide His Word (2 Timothy 2:15). the number shrinks further.
(3) once again, even further because God says "Enter into the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat. Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads unto life, and few there be that find it." (Matthew 7:13-14)
So, how many people will make it to Heaven? Simple, not many people will actually find Jesus, so not many in Heaven. It's a shame how these statistics work out, but people choose that path. God or Satan didn't twist their arm, they self-inflict their punishments.
