You not only include quotes that don't alter the terms, but add your own interpretation of them
Come, c'mon now, I am not quoting them as a means of altering terms or adding any interpretation.Where have I given an interpretation? I have clearly asked you interpretation of them and if they have any implication on salvation for those imprisoned spirits who Jesus made proclamation to. Didn't you see the question marks? You do know what question marks represent?
You can do that if it suits your faith
It's not faith. It is using passages that are written. The problem must be you can't find any commentary on the passages from anyone so you are unable to think outside of commentary you can't find. Try thinking for yourself. Just read the passage slowly and contemplate on the questions.
but the terms for salvation are clearly stated.
Yes, they are. You quoted many of them. I am asking you, now settle your mind, focus, what are the implications of salvation for those imprisoned spirits who Jesus made proclamtion to? Do you think the imprisoned spirits will accept Jesus as their saviour? Would they be saved or not saved? If you don't wish to answer just say you don't wish to answer. Don't ramble about me doing something I am not doing. If you don't know, just say you don't know. If you think it demeans your intelligence by even considering to contemplate them, just say it demeans your intelligence to even contemplate them.
You are either running through the briars and brambles to avoid what is clearly stated, or obfuscating for your own amusement.
You've read plenty of commentary on Brer Rabbit and Alice in Wonderland it seems but nothing on these verses. You always go through such melodrama when asked questions that are a little too abstract for you. Ha that's right I am obsfucating with passages that are just a little too obscure for you. Do you wish to have another stab at what the narrow gate is? Are you still adamant it is essentially faith in Jesus?
