Most think it implies one being condemned to hell.
Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the straight gate ....
Most all agree we are commanded to ENTER by the way of Christ, the straight GATE being Christ.
Mathew 7:13 .....for wide is the gate .....
This wide gate would also be Christ.
Matthew 7:13 .....and broad is THE WAY ....
John 14:6 ....I am THE WAY ....
Is not this all referring to Christ.
Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the straight gate, for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to DESTRUCTION, and many there be which go in thereat.
Is this not saying that WE (the deceived, Revelation 12:9) MUST enter the gate and have our carnal mind DESTROYED.
Matthew 7:14 (we have to be destroyed) Because narrow is the gate, and narrow is the way, that leadeth unto (immortal) LIFE, and FEW be that find it (because they never have their carnal minds DESTROYED)
Do lies and deception not have to be destroyed to find LIFE?
The wages of sin (lies and deception) is death.
1 John 3:8 ...for this purpose was the Son of God manifest, that he might DESTROY the WORK'S (lies and deception) of the devil.
