The call goes out to many but only a few are choosen. "For many are called but few are choosen."............Matt.22:14
The call goes out but many do not heed the call. If you would like we can look at this scripture in context of the parable it applies to. The explanation of the final statement you quoted is in the parable. Me thinks you are taking this statement out of context. There is nothing in this parable about pre-chosen, etc.
But a Very short summary is, don't try to sneak in without being washed in the blood of the lamb. One must be wearing the robe of salvation washed in the blood. But the reason for those that are not chosen are a different within the parable. But it's simply they did not choose the CHOSEN ONE, no wedding garment.
One short question? What do you believe happens when all the choosen are called and saved?
This question is vague. To what do you refer? Are you asking about the end times? Are you asking about the judgment? The separating of sheep and goats?
If sheep and goats then I would say that the sheep are those in wedding garments, washed in the blood of the Lamb, the goats are those who are not washed in the blood of the Lamb. That simple. It says in Rev. I believe that they are the ones that "washed their robes". They chose to be His rather than choosing to remain in the world while they were still alive on this earth.
But you never answer my questions about such things as "God commanding ALL men, everywhere to repent". How could God command such a thing but not give some men a way to do this?
That would be like me telling my grandson to clean up his Legos, while at the same time restraining him so that he couldn't. And then punishing him because he didn't do what I told him to do.
I think that God would be very angry with me if I were to treat my grandson in such a way and I believe He would punish me for that behavior towards this little one.
God sets the example for us and our lives and we can see God's nature in His Son.
