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

[Eternally Grateful]

There will be those whom hear the call to salvation and choose to accept and act in obedience to the word. There will also be those who reject the call and will die in their unbelief! Lastly there are those who have a strong delusion and walk according to their own way in the flesh, believing themselves righteous when in fact, God is far from them !

However the call is TO ALL, WHOSOEVER WILL LET HIM COME:

Sadly, Many there will be in this last group will get a rude awakening on that fateful day.. when they start naming all their great works they did. And jesus says depart for he never knew them

Only the Elect/Chosen are called into Salvation, the rest of mankind God has predetermined their condemnation in their sins.

Jesus died for everyone. He is not a respector of persons.

Lol quiet, no need to be sorry! My understanding on that subject is more than adequate to deal with your "strange" gospel (small g).
How did you go with the Deut reference? Was interested in your approach to the more difficult parts of the Word.

It might be strange to you F2F but to and for me it is my source of hope, assurance, courage, boldness and peace

I believe there is an inward call and an outward call...just my thoughts..

God knows beginning to end...

Look at this online source.


High Calling - In Christ Jesus, God the Father has called us with a high Calling. ...

Holy Calling - He called us not because we were good or worthy of His Calling. ...

Heavenly Calling - Those who are partakers of the Heavenly Calling should always keep their eyes on Jesus.

Another online summary.

Both I find an interesting read,

Summary. The call of the gospel is both general and particular. The general call is the gospel preached indiscriminately, while the particular call is the inward, spiritual call of God to the elect that is simultaneous with regeneration

There are many hopes in the world.

John 3:18 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the WORLD through him might be saved.
18 He that BELIEVETH ON HIM IS NOT CONDEMNED: but he that believeth NOT is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

View attachment 36733

I agree with Jn 3:18 one of my favorite verses.

 

[brightfame52]

Rubbish! you don't understand the character of our God. You have reduced him to a narrow self interested fallen human being.

Truth, some God has created as vessels of wrath and fits them for destruction. They are never called to Salvation, thats counter Gods purpose for them.

 

[brightfame52]

The HOLY INSPIRED WORD OF GOD REBUKES YOU @brightfame52 ! You go against the very words of life and hope to ANY, ALL, WHOSOEVER WILL BELIEVE!

That would be the elect.

 

[brightfame52]

Jesus died for everyone. He is not a respector of persons.

You promote a false jesus, the Jesus of scripture died only for Gods elect.

The Call in regards to Salvation is strictly inward and effectual unto conversion and its particular to Gods Elect.

The call in regards to being birthed in the Spirit, is effectual, as it’s Gods Living word...I see nothing about only the elect will be saved.

like I said, you don't understand the character of God,

 

[brightfame52]

If Jesus died only for the elect , he would have said so.

God says.....Ye must be Born Again....not you must be Elect.

Scripture does say so, to me, and the elect will be born again, thats a benefit of His death, and needful for them to hear their call.

Im not hear to talk about what you see or dont see.

 

[brightfame52]

Not your god. I know and understand the True God.

 

[quietthinker]

Not your god. I know and understand the True God.

how do you determine the character of your God?

The Cross is God calling..."come and be forgiven". = John 3:16

The cross is God commanding Repent!

And from this God selects some for the ministry.

From this command, God only chooses them that do repent to come to Him to be forgiven, washed, newborn, and walk with His Son as He walks.

its a call....... they are "chosen".

Not from among the unrepented.

Apostles
Prophets
Pastors
Evangelist
Teacher

So, "many are called", is John 3:16

Called to repent.

And from those who come to the Cross and are given God's Salvation, He chooses some for the ministry.

Who repent and come.

Your gospel of only believe and come is shut out from the closed door only opened to them that repent.

And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;

The commandment to now repent of sinning is the knock at the door, and repenting of sinning is opening the door to Him to enter and sup in righteousness and true holiness.

Your half baked gospel of mush is revolting to the Lord.

So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

Your gospel of unrepented faithy mush is not the sinners' gruel that the Lord sups with His saints.

 

[brightfame52]

how do you determine the character of your God?

From the scripture

you want to give a character description?

News is news. News is not advice.....and to who is it given? Is the Gospel good news or good advice? I'd be interested to hear how you categorise.
