Why does Les say genuine believers are getting fewer every week?

Les explains that even though there may be a lot of talk and preaching, the number of genuine believers is getting fewer every week because so much false teaching is coming in and people are flocking for it. He says people will always flock for the false before they will the truth. In the same context, Peter says clearly that there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved, and the verse is narrow, bringing it down to only one way. Les notes that many good, sincere folk follow a cult leader, Buddha, Muhammad, or whatever, but that does not change the exclusive claim. For the Jew at Peter’s time, they had to recognize that Jesus was the Christ, and only Jesus. He also observes that present-day Jews, especially the Orthodox, for the most part refuse to admit that Jews ever followed Christ, yet thousands did early on and archaeology is proving it. The vast majority rejected it, let the ball drop, and God went to the Gentile without them, though the context is still dealing with the covenant people.
