- Who are "the few" in Jesus' Parable of the Wedding Feast? And is Jesus' statement, "Many are called, but few are chosen," an endorsement of the doctrine of Unconditional Election?

"For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." (Acts 2:39)
For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in His presence." (1 Corinthians 1:26-29
An understanding I have is when many are called, and few are chosen, few people surrender their life to the Lord of Jesus Christ and accept them as their savior, just like I did 24 years ago in repentance of my sins, and trespasses.
Many are called into The Fellowship of Love. Into the Unconditional Reality of God Who Is Love. Many people can speak on that topic. But the only way to Truly come into That Divine Reality, is to be Aware that you are One with Christ's Spirit. That is, Christ's Reality. The only person that does ANYTHING is God Himself. Man does absolutely nothing. Only God gives the increase. He is the Divine Energy that causes all actions and reactions. There is only One that is Good, that's God. "The Son only does what His Father is doing." "If you've seen Me, you have seen the Father." We are all God's creation. He is the mechanics behind the veil of materialism and all space, time and matter. All We Are is Spiritual Offsprings of God's Consciousness. We are Watchers, Observers of the Great Things He has done, and is doing. We are not of this 3D space, time and matter reality. We are outside of that fallen realm. We no longer live, have our life, in that fleeing darkness. Only God gives the Revelation of being of Christ's Identity. Few are Chosen to Perceive.
Leighton flowers explains it perfectly.
Great teaching! Recommend to listen to the Word.
great job. breaking this verse down thanks you blessings
Great teaching!
Man, you failed to clarify the meaning of this verse.
I wonder if many choose God.
Many are called, but alas few heed the call
"Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ: To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ." (Romans 1:6-7)
Exactly, then who are the chosen if those called are called to be saints?
@@johnhoffman8203 The historical context determines the audience. The 'many' referred to Jews as salvation was unto the Jew at that time (not the entire world). The gentiles and gentile nations were considered heathen. God had established a wall of partition and in Mathew 22:14 it still existed (He would later remove it). 'Chosen' speaks of election - God's gracious choice. In Paul's writing those who are "called" and those who are "chosen" represent the same thing.
@@paulmichael5021 Not so, Paul was the disciple to the gentiles, if anything he was writing to the gentiles in the churches of Rome. The kingdom of heaven/God had long sense been removed from the nation of Israel per Mt 21.43 so many doesnt refer to Jews. Many are called (justified), but few are chosen, indicating the chosen are selected from the called per Rev 17.14. The chosen (sanctified) inherit the kingdom, the called dont.

"@Paul Michael Not so, Paul was the disciple to the gentiles"
Jews AND gentiles he preached to both (no distinction). Peter, James, and John didn't write their letters to gentiles - only Jews. However Paul wrote to Jews also. That's why in (2 Peter 3:15,16) Peter reminds the Jews about the fact that Paul had written them.
"if anything he was writing to the gentiles in the churches of Rome."
He was writing to Jews and gentiles. (1 Cor 1:23,24) but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
"The kingdom of heaven/God had long sense been removed from the nation of Israel per Mt 21.43 so many doesnt refer to Jews."
Yes Jews. Read Acts 2:41 - over 3000 saved - all Jews. God didn't grant the gentile nations the repentance that leads to life until Acts chapter 10 spoken about again in Acts 11:18.
Acts 21:20 And when they heard about them, they began glorifying God; and they said to him, “You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the Law; For your information Acts 21:20 comes AFTER Matthew 21:43
"Many are called (justified), but few are chosen, indicating the chosen are selected from the called per Rev 17.14. The chosen (sanctified) inherit the kingdom, the called dont."
You said: " The chosen (sanctified) inherit the kingdom, the called dont." You contradict the very verse you cited. Notice "called" in the verse below.
Rev 17:14
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
@@paulmichael5021 Yes Paul did preach to the Jews as individuals, but no longer as a nation as they had forfeited the kingdom. Later in Paul's ministry he even forsook the Jews and delt exclusively with the church. The statement many are called . . . refers to individuals not nations and still carries the definition of justified vs sanctified. Rev 17.14 defines where the faithful comes from i e chosen from the called and faithful from the chosen. Per Acts 20.32/26.18 the inheritance comes from sanctification/chosen vice justified/called. By the way, Mt 21.43 happened well before Acts 21.20 chronologically speaking. Another issue is that all parables are written to the church and not the nation of Israel. Both Mt 20.16/22.14 are the conclusions of parables then they are for the church not Jews as a nation. The point is that many are justified and few are chosen and fewer still are faithful, that is the issue.
Foolish=called wise=chosen
choosen means act 11:14-18 who are born again many are not !
The chosen are those who wear the righteousness of God (the only correct garment).
Everyone that hears the gospel message is called. Those that accept the gospel message are chosen. It has more to do with man.
I think all are called (invited) but many turn away from the call. Few are chosen to enter into heaven because they turned him away. Thats what I believe.
Actually MANY are called not all. There are indeed vessels fitted to destruction. :)
@@RoseSharon7777 Actually, Sandra is correct bibically, the context of the parable is that the "many" are "all," all those in His kingdom were called. Also, it is not a small detail, that at the beginning of the parable the call is into the "kingdom of *HEAVEN."* The parable is not about discipleship, or rewards, or service, but about having Jesus: that is having Jesus's righteousness, the right garment, which can only be obtained by grace alone, thru faith alone, in Christ alone, and not of any of our works or perseverance in any way. Salvation is in Jesus alone and what He did: if one believes this glorious gospel of grace, he or she is saved and given everlasting life and nothing can take you, not even yourself, out of Jesus or the Father's hand. Everlasting life is everlasting life.
And I (Jesus), if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw (call, universal invitation) *ALL* unto me.
John 12: 32
@@AlanSanchez-ww9qb Actually you are confused about begotten sons and firstborn sons. The 2 royal houses of Judah. Zerah with scarlet cord (the seed of the gentiles woman) and the Perez the seed of Issac. One is is the groom, the other is chosen by grace, the bride. Keep digging. Study the gentile red cord.
@@RoseSharon7777 No, the parable is simple. Like the gospel. Read the parable again. ;)
@@AlanSanchez-ww9qb establish truth by 2 or 3 witnesses line upon. Taking one verses out context leads to a strong delusion.
The chosen are those that are foreknown from day one. It includes from Adam and Eve to the rapture. The majority at the end will go thru great tribulation because they never overcame as Yeshua did Rev. 3:21.
The christian who is a worker of iniquity will not be permited in its that simple. You have to be proven worthy.
The man that was cast out did not have the clothes of Righteousness on, he was not washed by the water of the word. This means he lived by his standards, NOT GODS. We are to live with GOD for eternity in HIS KINGDOM, working in works of HIS choosing. If we are not united into ONE with /in HIM, forever, we will be not chosen. We need HIS calling for this to come to pass. Those who now are not called or never hear about JESUS will be raised up to physical life for their time to be called and chosen
Romans teaches the chosen were from before the world was made-as a gift to Christ-yes God invites everyone-cause the chosen still have to be regenerated and follow Him.This is taught in John-ephesians-timothy and more-Calvinism is only gospel i know that teaches it and the Bible backs it up.
Calvanism is a flase gospel
Many are Called, but Few are Chosen=Is this a "TWISTED" statement?
Many are called ,few are virgins!!=144,000 from the tribes of Israel.
NO! He was talking about the slain infants that were murdered by herod. Those 144,000 will sit with him in the government that is the kingdom, when the earth is made new they will rule with him. What you're saying is only 144,000 people are going to heaven and the rest are damned.. and that goes against everything the bible says. Just clearing that up for you.
@@JewessChrstnMystic Thats not what i meant.
@@Terceira73 what did you mean?
First the jew then the gentile.
wrong
His invitation doesn't go our to everyone, some vessels are fitted to destruction. God does not love everyone. If he did then none would go to hell. The world is his church we go to find those who will accept. The lost sheep.
If you think that God does not love everyone, then you do not know God. Period. :For God so loved the WORLD". Not "For God so loved a few people in the world".
@@alwaysadawg6488 if He loved everybody then no one would go to hell. Can't be both.
@@alwaysadawg6488 "Jacob i loved, Esau I hated".
Doesn't sound like he loves everyone.
