JESUS Warned Us In His Parables; Accept Him Or Be Shut Out

JESUS Warned Us In His Parables; Accept Him Or Be Shut Out = Matthew 25;10-13


Matthew 25;10-13

And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with Him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But He answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Matthew 7:22-23
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Matthew 25:41
Then shall He say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

Luke 13:25-27
When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door ,and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and He shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. But He shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

Luke 13:28-30
There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of GOD, and you yourselves thrust out. And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of GOD. And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.


AMEN
 
Where did it say...accept Jesus? As if we weigh it out among many options and see if we "feel" like accepting Him? I think I understand what you are going for here, ie, the necessity of repenting and believing in Him to be saved from our ins, and not being cast into hell.
Should we stick to the biblical commands and language or should we soften it?
 
Yes, Jesus told His fellow Jewish countrymen:

John 8
[23 ]And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
[24] I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
