The Encounter Matters!
It matters what type of encounter one has in their Christian walk & that will determine the distance you are able to walk in the narrow path.
Some may have encountered Christianity a man of the cloth, a priest, a nun or any member of the clergy, some may have encountered Christianity from a member of the laity and others still a particular denomination or religious organisation of sorts.
And then again, others may have encountered The Way from a spiritual being either positive or negative, a guru, a book, television programme, perhaps even the Bible.
And then again, others encountered Christianity through meeting the living Jesus and has had discourse with him.
What form of encounter did you have?

I pray a lot and read the Bible a lot. I connect with Jehovah and Yeshua through his word and through prayer. I can feel their love all around me during these moments of prayers. This is how I encounter Christianity, and I'm glad that it is this way.

I'm curious - to what does 5200 refer ?

The 5200 is the number if sanctioned legitimate religions
which means a minimum of two or more people believe in the same Doctrine which is in written format and meets the standards of religious beliefs |

Same question can be said of all belief systems.
People that resonate with a particular belief system don't make such comments.
People make such comments of other belief systems especially those belief systems they formerly belonged to.
