From the Elder's Pen "2% Will Destroy" 1/5/03 Past/Future Articles

 One time I had trouble with mice.  So I bought some D-Con.  I noticed on the package that only 2% of its contents was actually poison and the rest was edible.  Now if some educated mouse could read, he might reason: “But there is so much good in it, a little bit won’t harm me, and besides I’m hungry.”  Yet all that good food didn’t do that poor creature much good because the little bit of poison either killed him or gave him some mighty nasty indigestion.  The 98% nourishment was useless if that 2% killed him!  The 98% was not enough to offset the 2%.  The makers of D-Con know they have to put much good-tasting food in before mice will be tempted to eat that little bit that kills them.
 This is parallel with a situation we find often in religion.  Many feel that if there is so much good in their doctrines, a little bit of error won’t hurt them.  But the devil is smart enough to give people enough of the truth to make his lies appear wholesome, but just enough error to condemn.  No one will benefit from 98% truth if there is 2% error mixed in with it.  Man won’t go 98% to heaven and 2% to hell: he’ll go to either one place or the other.  Did not James say, “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all” (James 2:10)?  The person who rejects 2% of the truth of God is guilty, just like the person who rejects all.  The wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23).
