Jesus and Theological Fatalism (Matthew 22:14), the Parable of the Wedding Banquet Video

Just me pointing out a verse made by a user under the alias 'TheBeggarManIsHere'. My main thoughts were exactly this, "How can you say that those people who are invited who were not chosen because they chose not to when they have accepted the invitation to enter into a wedding banquet in the parable by Jesus?" and "How am I using Eastern Philosophy when I'm merely pointing out the verse in it's LITERAL context?" So, according to the verse, if you are to be saved from your sins, you have to be chosen by god, among the other sinners who pray earnestly for forgiveness. This can be taken as predestination as well, since god himself IS destiny and everything is in his control, according to many Christians.

PS: In case those who say that I'm taking this verse out of context, go read up the verse from your King James Version of the Bible.

ZombieIsHungry: The verse fits perfectly with the parable that Jesus spoke of. To answer your question. 14 For many are called, but few are choosen. This means that the masses are freely invited to accept salvation through accepting Jesus Christ as Lord however few are choosen/accepted because they refuse to receive Christ as the Bible says to. Instead they think they can still be saved by receiving false worldly teachings and deny the that Christ is the only way to heaven.

AlexanderGoldstein: What about those who received Jesus as lord and yet are not chosen or accepted? Many of the common people are called, and only a few of them were chosen despite the fact that they have accepted the invitation or god's grace.
