In spiritual matters, is the majority usually right or wrong?

In spiritual matters, the majority is usually wrong. The ten spies were the majority but dead wrong, while Caleb and Joshua were right. The principle is that when it comes to the things of the Spirit, the majority is rarely right and usually wrong.

Les explains that Paul, in Hebrews, refers to the children of Israel. Joshua and Caleb were heartbrokenly urging, 'Let's go! We can take the land. My God has done everything so far, He'll drive the enemies out.' But the majority said, 'Can't do it.' Les emphasizes that when it comes to the things of the Spirit, the majority is rarely right and usually wrong. The ten spies were the majority, yet they were dead wrong; Caleb and Joshua were right. Their unbelief was the problem, and they could not enter His rest, as Paul writes in verse 19.

Is the majority usually right when it comes to spiritual matters?

No. When it comes to spiritual matters, the majority is almost always wrong. The majority said there was no flood, while the minority affirmed it. At Elijah's time, only 7,000 had not bowed to Baal. Jesus taught that wide is the gate and many go in, but narrow is the way and few find it.
