Mat 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen.

What does this exactly mean?

Think about it for a second....

If God is sovereign, always accomplishing what He sets out to do and knows the future, then why would God someone and not choose them?

Simple called and some do not choose the calling.

This is just another conflict with Reformed theology: Saying God chooses people then calls them but doesn't choose them?

Many are called but few are chosen. To be honest, I'm not exactly sure what it means.:goofball:

Lol, thanks Chevy for the honest answer few are willing to give!

Remember the scripture that says many will come to Jesus and say we did this or that in your name and Jesus will say 'away from me, I never knew you' ?

Well it seems that even when a person is called they can come in the wrong way, with the wrong motives.

Kinda like your dog who comes only if you have a treat....lol



(Reformation theology really screws this scripture up (Matt 23:14) for alot of people, as they do other scripture)

What most do not get at all, is that reformed theology is totaly anti God, anti Jesus, anti Holy Spirit. and anti Christ.

I have heard that this was ued in a different way Two. Some have been called to go in to the minnistry and the refuse for any number of reasons.

Otherwise, all christians are called to go into the minnistry but few answer the call.

I have heard this verse used in this way.I am sure it could apply to other things also. Dennis

God knows the end from the beginning. He knows who will be saved.

Who are they? They are those who chose God and His Son to be their salvation.
