Mat 7:13 Go in through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are the ones entering in through it.
Mat 7:14 For narrow is the gate, and constricted is the way that leads away into life, and few are the ones finding it.
That was Jesus' statements. In case you haven't noticed, the majority is often wrong.

Christians understand that many people in the world will not be Christians because they were not taught about our kind and loving God that created the world and everything that is good in it. It is the people that ruin our world by not following the Ten Commandments. People need to learn how to get along with one another and have respect for each other. God gave us a free will. It is up to us to do the right thing.

To answer your first question, yes, most Christians know that most of the world is not and never will be Christian. Do you understand that we do not care? We will continue to follow the example of Jesus no matter what you do.
To answer your second question, no, God is not apparently saying that more people will burn in hell. That's why it makes no sense, it's not true, that's a misquote and taken out of context.

It makes sense, people would rather follow Satan's lies then Gods love. God knows that people would rather conform to this world than his ways of Love and rewards in heaven. Christians are supposed to witness to the lost to save them from hell. The lost reject God then they will spend eternity in hell. What is soooo hard about beliving in Jesus and to love one another.

Ok I'm an atheist but statistically Christians are the largest of all religious groups (over 2 million if you count together all the denominations, including Catholic).

Yes we do! and yes it makes sense. What God promises is the the truth would be heard through out the whole world, and its for you to take heed or not. BUT THE MESSAGE WOULD BE SPREAD. BELIEVE THAT!

Yes they do. They know. Perfectly. Read the book of Romans 1:18-32. It answers your question.

Yes, the Bible says that many "have ears but do not hear and eyes but do not see" - the truth is right in front of them but they won't acknowledge it.
Still, it is important to share you faith. Regardless of what I personally think of someone, I know Jesus died to offer them salvation just as He did for me. Whether or not they accept Him is not under my control - but I still need to testify to how He saved me and hope that they will allow Him to do the same for them.

We have to keep trying to teach Christianity, for it is the will of God. I don't believe in literal hellfire and absolutely don't teach it.
