Many Are Called But Few Chosen = Matthew 22;1-10

 

 

Matthew 22;1-10

And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, 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. So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.

 

Matthew 20:16

So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.

 

Mark 13:19-20

For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which GOD created unto this time, neither shall be. And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom He hath chosen, He hath shortened the days.

 

John 15:16

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, He may give it you.

 

John 15:19

If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

 

Matthew 5:9

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the Children of God.

 

Acts 11:25-26

Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul: And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

 

I John 3:1-3

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew Him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is. And every man that hath this hope in Him purifieth himself, even as He is pure.

 

AMEN

Calvinists have a big problem with Jesus' statement, 'many are called, but few are chosen."

They have a problem with it because John Calvin was an outspoken Jew hating antisemite.

The Bible says JEWS ARE THE CHOSEN people of God.  Not Calvinists, not Catholics, not Orthodox churches and certainly not American protestants.

The Bible also claims MANY ARE CALLED.  This is what evangelism is all about - calling folks to REPENT and accept the King of the Jews as their Lord and Saviour.

It isn't rocket science boys and girls.

that's me, hollering from the choir loft...
