The vast majority aren't seen by Jesus words "Few find the road to life!" I would argue that is a point of debate and depends on individual opinions. Progressive Christians would probably argue they believe some things about Jesus but not others, and I have seen there are Christians who say progressive Christians can't be Christians, just like I know some Christians think JWs aren't Christian or at the very least, are out of step with true Christianity. So I think it is only 'obvious' to somebody who claims 'they' know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulS Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 59 minutes ago, theMadJW said: The very beginning, Adam and Eve... I believe the story exists. I also believe the story is a myth, a way ancient people tried to understand life and what to make of it. This is a pretty common situation across all ancient cultures. So in that sense I don't believe the only way to understand the Adam and Eve story is to interpret it as a literal, historical event.
