Hi Everyone,

This biblical study is on what does "few are chosen' mean?
The parable where this phrase is given is in Matt. 22:1-14.

Quote :

Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.

Many choose the riches of this life rather than heaven (refused to come).

Quote :

“Then he sent some more servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’

“But they paid no attention and went off—one to his field, another to his business.

Quote :

The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them. The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.

And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’

Quote :

“Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. So go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’ So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, the bad as well as the good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.

The first will be last, and the last will be first.

Quote :

“But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. He asked, ‘How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend?’ The man was speechless.

“Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

The Son of Man will come at a time when is least expected.

Quote :

“For many are invited, but few are chosen.”

The parable of the sower, Matthew 13?

Hi Solique, Welcome to HCBC Forum!


"Many are called, but Few are Chosen" is a phrase that many have not understood.
I would like to explore with everyone here on the forum what I believe this phrase means.

Many are called, ....... ...many are called to deliver God's message
"Few are Chosen" .........but only a few are chosen as biblical writers (40)

Hi Ed,
I believe that it just means that many will fall away (Parable of the sower, Matt 13).

Hey SOLIQUE WE ALSO BELIEVE THAT, BECAUSE WITHOUT A WEDDING GARMENT YOU COME UP
SOME OTHER WAY JOHN 10 V 1
A WEDDING GARMENT ---the righteousness of JESUS CHRIST
GOD
JESUS
ELECT=A WEDDING GARMENT MATT 22 v 11,12, 13, 14 FOR MANY ARE CALLED BUT FEW ARE CHOSEN-----MATT 13 THE GOOD GROUND US THE CHILDREN OF GOD

Hi Solique,

The same wording is used in Matthew 20:1-16, and what we see used specifically in this parable is that
Jesus is talking about the laborers in God's vineyard. Who are the laborers in God's vineyard?

Hi Solique,

........................Who are the laborers in God's vineyard?

...if not those "called" to deliver God's message? . ...and the "few chosen" as biblical writers?

Hi FredandMary,

This evidence supports my theory that "FEW ARE CHOSEN" means "the 40 Biblical Writer's;"
We are all called to deliver God's message of salvation to the world in his son [יהשוע] YÄ-shü-ă.
