CALVINISTIC-REFORMED THEOLOGY DOCTRINE ON MATTHEW 24 REFUTED AND EXPOSED (Part 6)

And the Word of the LORD came to me…….
The “Few Chosen” Are Israelites
Speaking with the Pharisees in Matthew 22, Jesus compares the Kingdom of Heaven to a King who prepared a wedding feast for His Son. Those that were invited to the wedding feast were not interested in coming so the King sent His servants out calling everyone who would come. Therefore, Jesus’ statement “For many are invited, but few are chosen.” (Matthew 22:14; 20:16) must be interpreted in light of who are the chosen – that is the Jews! The chosen, elect (the Jews) were the ones to whom the promise of the Messianic Age was first given. However, when the bridegroom came many of them were not willing to come and therefore God the Father gave instruction for the many to be called to the feast as well as the chosen.
Knowing that the elect are the Jews completely rules out any Calvinistic interpretation of the passage and unlocks the passage for us. Note that both the called and chosen still needed salvation as indicated by the man found without a wedding garment that was cast out.
This is the Word of the LORD!
