....going to quite make it to heaven because "the others" have a flaw. How is it etched in granit to you that you're not one of the 9 others; seeing how they use the same Bible? Why is God unable to make your belief so clear, if it's correct? Seriously, I have no axe to grind here, I just want to understand your truth. If it is.

After all if they feel the same way doesn't that only give you a one in ten chance of making it?

That is correct. The way is narrow. There are many many many wrong choices that will be made.
Good Question. and 200% correct.

Do I claim to know the mind of God no way! Heck I hope to even get there. Assume you know makes an *** out of you and me. I do read the bible but it is alligorical and has so many layers it gives ways to live, many other belief systems have similar values and ways to get to heaven as well whatever version they have. I believe that my God has his people and they may not even only follow the path I follow too it is not my place to judge. It's an internal knowledge too not just the bible a grace provided. Honestly any believer needs to watch out for that ego\pride thing it's a dangerous road. Humility works so much better. It's a walk you take each day you learn something new and stumble and get back on track. I have flaws as well so why would I be so dull to judge who gets into heaven? Heaven is a hope it's not a guarentee folks forget that. (Catholic)

Every ones bible is not same. Can u explain that? You must believe God and not religions! Keep ur focus on that! If you can't believe that God exist, why question both when you are dead set against it. You must have a lot of time on ur hands. How Sad!

Catholicism does not accept that line of thinking, and asserts that all other religions contain truths within them. Therefore, the line of thinking that you are the only belief system destined to Heaven is wrong.

you have the same amount of control of getting into heaven as you did when you were conceived ,meaning -no control. only through good karma can you even think about tasting the supersensual bliss enjoyed in heaven ,what you sow you reap, remember this none can escape the law of cause and effect,NONE

How I wish there were only ten.
How I wish just one of them were right.

You realize, of course, that any theist who answers this question will use their holy book to prove that their holy book is right. :-\
