"Enter in by the narrow gate;
for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction,
and there are many who go in by it.
14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life,
and there are few who find it.
Matthew 7:13-14

I was thinking about it and narrow mindedness should be the greatest compliment you can receive, if it is narrow mindedness for God. For example; I believe in a literal seven days. God created the heavens and the earth in seven days, period. Some have argued that God could have meant a figurative seven days and that it could have taken several million years just as evolution says it did. There are several reasons why this is wrong but perhaps the simplest way of explaining why I think it is wrong is by being narrow minded about it.
If I believe it took a literal seven days and come Judgment Day God reveals that He was in fact being figurative; So what? Conversely, if I let others compromise what I believe to be true and come Judgment Day God was being literal and did in fact create all things in seven days; I will have t answer for myself a few questions posed by my Creator:
"Why didn't you believe Me? Why did you let them change and mutate the truth in to such a horrible half- lie?"
