What does “Many are called but few are chosen” in Matthew  

Mercy and grace for the few elect or for all God calls?

Amen!! ❤❤❤

Well he’s wrong! Matthew 22 is referring to the Wedding FEAST, not the actual Wedding! It was furnished with GUESTS! (Matt. 22:11) This parable isn’t about the BRIDE OR the BODY of CHRIST. A Bride is not a GUEST at her own Wedding ! The parable is about those left behind who will be called to receive Christ AFTER the rapture. The GUESTS at the Wedding are those who will refuse the mark of the beast so that they will be allowed to the Wedding SUPPER, which takes place ON EARTH, AFTER Armageddon. After Christ comes back with his now WIFE. I’ve Capitalized some words below to highlight this. “The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, and sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden TO THE WEDDING : and they would not come. Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my DINNER: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: and the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. But when the king heard thereof, HE WAS WROTH and he sent forth his ARMIES, and destroyed those murderers, and BURNED UP THEIR CITY. Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. And when the king came in to see THE GUESTS he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into OUTER DARKNESS ; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called, but few are chosen.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭22:2-9, 11-14‬ ‭KJV‬‬ NOTE: THE KING WAS WROTH! Wroth= WRATH He sent forth his ARMIES to burn up the city. The CITY that is destroyed in Revelation is Mystery Babylon, Rev. 17 & 18. The entire parable of The Wedding SUPPER is referring to the time of wrath which believers are not appointed to. THE BRIDE HAS BECOME A WIFE IN HEAVEN DURING THE TIME OF WRATH ON EARTH…. “Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and HIS WIFE hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭19:7-8‬ ‭KJV‬‬ RIGHT AFTER THE WIFE IS MENTIONED, THEN THE FOLLOWING VERSE ABOUT THE MARRIAGE SUPPER.

Romans 9:20-24 20 But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’” 21 Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use? 22 What if God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath-prepared for destruction? 23 What if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory - 24 even us, whom he also called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?

Well brother, If you go read that scripture(2 Peter 3:9) in the context of 3:3-9, then it should be clear that Peter is addressing Believers about the return of Christ & the Promise of His return. "Any" is referencing those God has chosen to escape His Wrath & be reconciled to Himself through the Faith He has Gifted them to believe in His Son(see Eph.2:8-10)..... although "God does not delight in the death of the wicked" (Ez.33:11) they stand condemned before Him & His Wrath abides on them (John 3:18, 36) .....think about Noah & the Ark...Noah was called "A preacher of Righteousness", but who repented & were saved from the flood after hearing all that preaching?😢...only those the Lord Chose to save❤....He has an appointed time to pour out His Wrath & will not do so until all His Sheep have been gathered into the sheepfold

⁠​⁠​⁠@@jerrystatic256No it’s not. Rom 9 is not only speaking to the nation of Israel but also to the gentiles. ”and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory, even us whom He called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?“ Romans‬ ‭9‬:‭23-24‬

And those who are approved that way are then given to Christ. At that point you’re looking at having eternal life in heaven. Many are called, few are chosen. There’s only one person in scripture referenced as being approved in Christ. Even Paul didn’t consider himself approved yet.

Nice thoughts, but not very scriptural 🤷‍♂️...any one who takes pride in being chosen, is @ best, immature their relationship with Christ, because those that have been chosen will seek to be humble ❤️✝️

Which region?

Jesus draws those that the father grants Him (John 6:65;44)Jesus is talking about drawing all types of people (Jew and gentile) that the father gives.

Amen!

Grace Hater

Many dismissed the "IF'S": thinking that they are the chosen before the foundation of the world .

@@RaptureHead1993 1 Timothy 4:16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for (in doing this) thou shalt both (save thyself), (and them that hear thee). Obeying Gods word is not hating grace. Grace is not a covering for sin, so we can continue to sin and not be held accountable for our sin. If we continue in sin we will be judged for our sin. The wages of sin is death! We are servants to whom we obey! To righteousness unto holiness, and eternal life, or to sin unto death. But grace is given, so we can overcome sin! And learn obedience unto righteousness, unto holiness. We are saved by grace, through faith. During the sanctification process, we have trials and tribulations, to teach us obedience. Even Jesus learned obedience by the things which he suffered (Hebrew 5:8) And we learn obedience by being partakers of that suffering. Grace is our teacher! Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world. Modern western Christianity has watered down the gospel, to eliminate the suffering, the persecution, and the fear of the Lord! Sir, I don’t hate grace, to the contrary, It’s by his grace I live! Do I teach salvation by works? No! By grace through faith. And faith comes by hearing, and hearing comes by the word of God. Which tells us in James, Be not just hearers of the word, deceiving your own selves. But be doers of the word! Why doers? Because true faith is doing what you confess you believe! That’s why we’re told to workout your own salvation with fear and trembling! In Christs Love!

@@gojohnnygo3209oh yeah, people believing what the Bible says…

That, dear friend, is an excellent question. Why would God create the majority of people to end up in hell, rather than the other way around, if it was simply a matter of Him, choosing?Kind of goes against His nature, which is love, doesn’t it?

Calvinism began with Augustine who, prior to conversion, was a agnostic/Manichean. I’m currently digging deep into this doctrine and I suggest others do also.

GotQuestions approaches everything from a Calvinistic bent - just so you know. I suggest people listen with great discernment.

​@@emf49oh I'm aware.

Those are some very good questions, and I know I will consider them from time to time to get closer to the answers. But I also know if I could figure out God, He would not be worthy of being God. Can we have free will and be predestined at the same time? Humanly impossible, but impossible for God? (Luke 18:25-27). How much more important is it, then, that we understand His love for us, since there is no why that makes sense.

Is the stone people are shattered on or crushed by the 144,000 or Jesus Himself? There is no third choice. Do not the 144,000 also only have these two choices? Come and be broken or be crushed, but Jesus can raise you up.

@@deanfry879 I am not sure what you are asking. When the rebellion occurred in the garden of Eden some 6,000 years ago (Gen 3:1-6), Jehovah God immediately made legal arrangements to undo the damage by means of a symbolic "woman" and her offspring".(Gen 3:15) The symbolic "woman's offspring" are the 144,000 imperfect but "declared righteous" ones (Rom 3:24; Rev 7:4; 14:1), those "sealed with holy spirit" (Eph 1:13, 14), for "the heavenly calling" (Heb 3:1), as members of God's heavenly Kingdom, "the little flock" that Jehovah has approved of "giving you the Kingdom" (Luke 12:32), along with Jesus Christ as God's Kingdom's premier king/high priest "in the manner of Melchizedek" (Heb 5:10), so that God's Kingdom has 144,001 members. There are only two hopes, of being in heaven as one of the "chosen ones" (Matt 24:22, 24, 31), as the 144,000 selected imperfect members of God's Kingdom by Jehovah, that is the means by which Jehovah will accomplish his purpose of a paradise earth for the other hope, of living on the earth in perfect peace and security "in the abundance of peace.......forever", as he originally intended when he created the first human couple.(Ps 37:11, 29; Gen 1:26-31)

@@timhaley3459 If Jesus is only King to the 144,000, then why do so many call Him Lord? If there are only 144,001 people in the Kingdom of God, then someone else is Lord of all the rest.

God wants everyone to be a part of that group that's predestined for eternal life with Him. The group that rejects His salvation is predestined & chosen for hell. He doesn't individually by name choose you to hell and that guy to heaven (why would He long for those who are rejecting Himself for salvation... If He "chose" them for hell??? goofy!!!). If you were God would you choose "everybody" for heaven and nobody to hell? So that would make you more loving and forgiving than God... No way. YOU have to respond to the Spirit by faith

Yea, Gods apparently not the author of confusion. I'm confused too.

False

Calvinism is false. It would essentially make God the author of evil.

Amen!! Praise God for his sovereignty ❤

@@melissa2807 Scripture is very clear on this point: "many are called, few are chosen" why are you making a mockery of God and His inspired holy Word?

@@rkitsune3549 What if God has no problem with that? All one has to do to make someone/something out to be evil is make a law, and God did that. But in doing that, He also had a promise prepared by which anyone could overcome evil, and humans rarely make promises for that purpose. It is very possible for Him to author evil without it making Him evil. Every novelist does it.

Exactly....believing in what folks refer to as "Calvinism" does not negate the fact that anyone who places their faith (which God Gifted them by Grace to believe in the Son Jn.3:3, 6:44,15:16,Eph.2: 8-10,etc)...i.e. entrusts their lives(believes, Gr. Pisteo) will be saved, whether they understand that GOD has decreed all things from the beginning, or not. To believe in God's Sovereign, immutability & will does not negate human responsibility...God is Perfect & in His Perfection & perfect, love & mercy,, HE CHOSE to Save Some from His Judgement that came on All mankind as a result of Adam's disobedience, for ALL have missed the mark of perfect obedience. No one but God Himself knows who the Elect are, so we preach the Gospel to all. "Those that endure to the end" identifies those that were Chosen by the Father, before the fondations of the world(Eph.1:1-14, Rom.8:28-39) those that don't endure to the end were not Chosen (1 John 2:19) All Glory to Christ! ❤️✝️

Not even close.

The covenant with Abraham was the template for our salvation. Faith gave Abraham righteousness before God so Abraham could enter a covenant with God. God doesn’t make covenants with the unrighteous.

But God only fulfilled his side of the covenant because Abraham fulfilled his part and obeyed.

@@joebolling "righteousness" means "right standing"....God gifts that position based on HIS good pleasure, plan & will, not based on man's effort, but by His Grace, which is a "free gift", or i.e. "unmerrited favor" 👉But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood 👉nor of the will of the flesh👈 👉nor of the will of man👈, 👉but of God.👈John 1:12-13. 👉And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord, 👉and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed.👈ACTS 13:48....ALL Glory belongs to GOD (Father/Son/Holy Spirit)

Yes....John 10:3-4 ❤️ To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, 👉and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out👈. When he puts forth all his own, he goes ahead of them,👉 and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.👈 Jn. 10:25-29 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe; the works that I do in My Father’s name, these testify of Me. But you do not believe because you are not of My sheep. My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. Mark 4:9-12 And He was saying, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” As soon as He was alone, His followers, along with the twelve, began asking Him about the parables. And He was saying to them, “To you has been given the mystery of the kingdom of God, but those who are outside get everything in parables, so that while seeing, they may see and not perceive, and while hearing, they may hear and not understand, 👉otherwise they might return and be forgiven.”👈 Look @ the parables of the Sower & Seed (aka soils) ....only those in the "good ground" produced fruit....they were the ones that had "ears to hear" 🤔 Why?....because God Chose them to do His Will. (See John 1:12-13, 3:3, Chapter 10, 14, 15, Ro.8:28-39, Eph. 1:1-14, 2:8-10, etc, etc, etc, there are hundreds of passages & scriptures that tell us that God is Sovereign over the universe & affairs of man...we are not robots & yes, we make choices, but only within the confines of who we are....either Slaves to sin, or Slaves to Rghteousness...but, the man/woman without the Spirit of God can NOT receive the things of God (see 1 Cor. 2, spec.. v14 & also see John 6:44 & 15:16) If you have Faith in Christ for Salvation, it is because God decreed you Holy (set apart aka saint i.e to be sanctified..aka set apart for HIS service)before the fou dations of the world, according to His Word, but we are taught not to believe it & have adopted the Greek concept of "free will"🤷‍♂️....But did Pharoah have "free will"? Did the Jews opposing Jesus have "free will" according to John Chapter 10? I used to believe it...but the more I studied scripture, I began to accept that Jesus is truly LORD OVER ALL....God is Sovereign & requires no help from man. Those that belong to Him seek to obey Him & mourn their sin they once revelled in...the goats & wolves in sheep's clothing excuse, justify & defend their sin & seduce the other creatures who are not His Sheep. It is very humbling, as we can Glory in nothing, except Christ❤️✝️

That's calvinism take, not Biblical Christianity

@@naturematt4340 why is that Calvinism? 🤔

@@naturematt4340 Romans 8:28-39 ❤️👉And we know that GOD CAUSES ALL THINGS to work together for good to those who love God, to those WHO ARE CALLED ACCORDING TO 👉HIS PURPOSE.👈 👉For those whom He FOREKNEW, HE also PREDESTINED 👉to become conformed to the image of His Son👈, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; 👉and these whom He PREDESTINED, He also CALLED; and these whom He CALLED, HE also JUSTIFIED; and THESE WHOM HE JUSTIFIED, He also glorified. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? WHO WILL BRING A CHARGE AGAINST GOD ’s ELECT? God is the one who justifies; who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Just as it is written, “For Your sake we are being put to death all day long; We were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.❤️❤️❤️✝️ That is the Bible, not Calvinism😉 So is this...... Ephesians 1:1-14 👉 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus BY THE WILL OF GOD,(See also John 1:13) To the saints(those set apart🤔by WHO? for WHO? For What Purpose?) who are at Ephesus and who are faithful in Christ Jesus: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, JUST AS HE CHOSE US IN HIM BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD,(Why?🤔)👉 that we would be holy and blameless before Him. IN LOVE 👉HE PREDESTINED US TO ADOPTION AS SONS THROUGH JESUS CHRIST TO HIMSELF, according to the kind intention of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His 👉GRACE 👈(FREE Gift, unmerritted favor! something we do not Choose, but do receive) which He lavished on us.

Brother, studying John 3:3 & Ephesians 2:8-10 should make it clear that it is God who is Sovereign over Salvation & even gifts us the Faith to believe in His Son! To Christ ALONE BE THE GLORY ✝️❤️

@@sandman9390 That statement is assuming the god of calvinism chose people for salvation and people for damnation before the foundation of the world. AKA calvinism's unconditional election (The Bible says no such thing). Those chosen for salvation were given ears to hear, and those chosen for damnation were not given ears to hear. AKA calvinism's total depravity mixed with limited atonement and irresistable grace. (Again, this concept is not found in the Bible)

Why is this always just labeled as “Calvinism”? All The reformers did was bring back to the forefront doctrine that was clearly taught by Jesus and the Apostles. If Jesus died for everyone then his blood would have been spilled in vain for the ones who reject him. Jesus told the Pharisees that they don’t believe because they are not of his sheep, his sheep hear his voice and they know him and he knows them. No one comes to Jesus unless the Father calls them.

We cannot presuppose that different interpretations mean there is no correct interpretation. Of course, everyone is going to swear "theirs" is the correct one, so what we must do is take time and care to look at what one denomination teaches compared to another and compare that to what the Bible teaches. When I've done that, I learn that some (many?) will substitute human logic and reason rather than simply allowing the Bible to speak for itself. That is what leads to the supposed contradiction and arguments, not the actual Bible itself. There will still be some minor disagreements on particular details (one example is Baptism: is full immersion or sprinkling permitted?) when the Bible is silent on a topic. But I also learned that every Christian church agrees on the fundamental principles of who God is, what mankind is, the fallen nature of man and why we need a Savior, who that savior is (Jesus Christ), the problem of Sin, and the solution of the Cross of Christ. We find unity in those timeless truths. Any church that does not believe in those things is not a Christian church, even though they may use the name "Christian" in their title. You may ask, "What gives you the right to decide who is or isn't a Christian church?" to which I humbly respond, "I don't get to decide: God's Word decides." Churches that reject God's Word in favor of human logic and/or changing societal norms is not Christian. We see that a lot in the "progressive" movement. The same is true is someone adds additional burdens that aren't in the Bible. We see that a lot in the "fundamentalist" movement. In summary, the Bible is clear on everything necessary to be a Christian. The only time it appears unclear is when someone brings their presuppositions and outside agendas to it and tries to find justification for those false narratives.

With all due respect, but the bible doesn't need an interpret, The bible interprets ITSELF. Cults and Sects are created by Humans, For not understanding or not Studying the SCRIPTURES, they take a verse out of CONTEXT and made it into an EXCUSE, like David korash, Jim Jones did. The bible is not a story book, It is the REVELATION OF GOD for humans, In other words is our GUIDE BOOK that teaches how to live our lives according to GOD. The Bible contains any scholar academic that you can MENTION( Biology, Genetics, Phylosophy, Poetry, Archeology, Anthropology, Astronomy, Mathematics, etc, etc) The bible is more Modern that any book that you can think of. Why do you think the bible is the only Book that is always ATTACKED?, they don't attacked the Q' ran, or Vedas, Dhammapada( Buddhist) etc, etc, because the Bible is the WORD OF GOD, is the only book that can tell a person how wicked is, and the TRUTH IS ALWAYS ATTACKED.

And where on the site to find it

And what does it mean to be called?
