The thing is...and I haven't considered this until he pointed it out...there were both good AND bad invited to the wedding feast. How did that one guy even get there without a wedding garment?
That MY Friend was THE POINT of the parable . TO SHOW US that NONE outside of Christ has any hope or chance
of being IN , but rather WILL BE CAST into outer darkness .
You do realize THE POINT right . And what would be the point , NO FAITH IN JESUS , NO HOPE at all .
People always ponder on this or upon that and of ten try so hard to find ways to make
the path to GOD just a lil more broader . NO SIR and no mams . THEY all pointed to the dire necessity
for to have FAITH IN CHRIST. And i suggest we DO the same . T here is no broad pat hs , THERE BE ONLY ONE WAY
to GOD . Now HIS NAME is JESUS CHRIST and i do suggest to us all that we take a good long look
at WHAT and WHO them apostels preached and pointed too . Again it was the absolute DIRE NEED
for to repent and beleive ON JESUS THE CHRIST and to observe ALL things HE did teach .
Lets not try and grab ahold of a broad false hope rope . Rather LET IT BE JESUS THE CHRIST
and LET IT BE ONLY JESUS THE CHRIST we preached to any and to all that has breath .
Cause another line WONT WORK . And while its true it might make this world feel saved , IT WONT SAVE .
JESUS preaching time for all else is vain and is contrary to GOD and HIS CHRIST .
And before we forget allow me to re introduce us
to a reminder from John who wrote more about love in his le tter than most .
HE who beleives NOT , yes BELEIVES NOT the testimony that GOD g ave of the SON ,
OH HE AINT COMING to GOD in a d iverse other way , NO SIR HE calls THE GOD , as in the ONLY GOD , A LIAR .
I dont see holiness or righteousness , goodness or truth , IN THAT . I see A LAKE OF FIRE for all who do so .

You're forgetting that Abraham having faith and having received the risen Christ in a figure (Isaac) became the father of those of all nations who have faith and receive Christ ..........he is not the father of those who don't.
And now allow me to bring the very words of THE CHRIST HIMSELF
to see whether they confirm what you wrote or deny what you wrote .
Long ago very devout jews once said to JESUS , WE have one Father it is GOD .
And JESUS would tell these UNBELIEVING devout jews
YE are of your father ..................................THE DEVIL .
SISTER you are SPOT ON CORRECT . JESUS is an shall ONLY BE the ONLY ONE we POINT TOO SISTER .
FOR HE ALONE is the ONLY HOPE and only ONE whereby one can be saved .

The context is the coming of the Lord.........He is coming to judge everyone, not just believers.
WHEN epi says context of the verse , he means in context of what INCLUSIVISM teaches .
His glasses , They the inclusive glasses and those lens is HOW he intrepets the bible .
Now he aint fooling me .
His speeches about five year old and ten year old and etc
BUT NOTICE , NOT A DROP ONE OF DOCTRINE FROM SAID BIBLE do he BRING
to show us . WE bring simple reminders from JESUS
and the crickets chirp as we are told , many things from epi , JUST NOT THE TRUTH .

Aside of the simple math the verse implies on salvation there is another meaning, the measurement in punishment for the lost and rewards for the saved.

Better now ?

:funlaugh2
It amazes me that people will reject the very thing that can save them. In the world it is about knowing Jesus as a Saviour. But in the church it is about saving the soul and the knowledge of God's ways to that end. "My people perish for lack of knowledge." I could share a lot more about that but the bible warns about casting pearls to be ridiculed. There are a few here who fear the Lord, and are able to speak about the Lord in a non-selfish way. But the pretenders are stuck in their own carnal ways and have adapted the bible to what comforts the flesh.

I wish that all believers could respect the word and discern the body....but that's not what happens so often.

Tares. We are not to take it too literally. It is just a picture for the purpose of teaching a lesson. Whoever is not clothed in Christ doesn't really make it to the wedding feast. It is like the parable about the sheepfold, those who sneak in by another way.

Jesus used the term, how much more scriptural can you get? I always thought it referred to "paradise" where the righteous dead were preserved until Jesus liberated them. After the resurrection paradise was relocated to heaven. Once again just opinion

I don't see Jesus preaching Greek myths. I see it as a literal place where the evil will be confined until the final judgement

You see Jesus as a propagator of Greek myths? I don't see it that way.

Read about the roots of the Abraham's Bosom on the Wikipedia, it's an invention of man, the Pharisees, it's nowhere in Scripture. The parable of the rich man is in a long series of Jesus preaching against the Pharisees, chapter after chapter.

v14 explicitly states the Pharisees were lovers of money, it's an introduction what has to come, them (the lovers of money) ending up in their own false teaching.

Also that those who died and are in torment can talk to Abraham does not sound Scriptural, but you will have to believe it if you think the parable is not a parable but a real story.

I prefer to believe what other passages tell me about heaven and hell.

Now notice my dear sister that when a man reads t he bible through the lens of say a prosperity preacher
ITS prosperity lenses they wear .
The same goes for many who do such things .
Like epi . By means of inclusivism that HE DO beleive
that is exactly HOW he is gonna twist the scrips to FIT INCLUSIVISM rather than THE TRUTH .
You see it really IS so simple a small child can see it , well a child of GOD and of the Lamb .
THAT NO FAITH IN JESUS WILL NOT BODE WELL AT ALL .
FAITH IN JESUS , VERY VERY GOOD indeed .
And notice , often these men of prosperity , of hyper grace , of whaterver they teach ,
DO YOU EVER SEE THEM FOCUSING ON the DIRE NECESSITY OF CHRIST
or rather on their own doctrines that omit HIS teachings and HIS words and HIS gospel .
Its simple sister . HAD ONE had the LOVE OF GOD SHED UPON HIS HEART
Well WE HAD SEEN THEM preaching the LOVE OF GOD .
AND THIS IS THE LOVE OF GOD , that WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS .
And what ARE HIS commandments . That we BELEIVE on JESUS CHRIST and to love one another .
NOW what do you NOT SEE the inclusivist HIC reminding anyone about and rather Attacking those WHO DO REMIND US .
OH YEAH its the BELIEVE IN JESUS PART . which makes the love of epi TOTALLY OF THIS WORLD and of the darkness
that is doing all to TRY and SNUFF out the ONE TRUE LIGHT OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST .

You mean like this? Repeated three times so it gets through our stubborn hearts?

Mk 9:43-44
And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

Frankly who cares . IF ONE GETS CAST OUT , THAT IS WHAT mattered my friend .
YOU and others are doing all to try and tone down things in order to get broader paths
MY a dvice , cease and dissest .
WHAT would it matter if one was in the banquet , ONLY TO BE CAST OUT .
THE POINT IS , NO JESUS NOTHING GOOD . NO faith in HIM , NO HOPE at all .
Oh and here is a reminder from john who wrote MORE ABOUT LOVE
in his letter than did most . HE who BELIEVES NOT the testimony
that GOD gave of the SON , HE calls GOD A LIAR .
Now tell me cross carriers who have put HORSE in cart , YA REALLY THINK GOD is gonna b e pleased
WITH THOSE WHO CALLED HIM A LIAR , who repented not and continued to call HIM A LIAR .
Cause i dont see HOLINESS , RIGHTEOUSNESS , TRUTH and or ANY THING GOOD in THAT .
FAITH . without IT , OH IT BE IMPOSSIBLE to please GOD .
Lets not be so fast to BROADEN That road to GOD and rather , PREACH THE ONLY WAY TO GOD
and that one MUST BELIEVE ON HIM . Or prepare to wail on JESUS day .
cause calling good evil AINT gonna bode well . AND ANYTIME one t ries to m ake
that path to GOD broader by PUTTING UNBELIVERS ON IT , WELL they are supporting
THOSE WHO CALL and CALLED GOD A LIAR . AND woe woe woe , WE SURE DONT wanna do THAT .

Exactly.

Where does Scripture state the damned can talk to Abraham ?

and now notice another one , who pro bably beleives in this end time universalism .
ALWAYs they do read the bible through a lens . SO i am sure he gonna try and flip t hings in favor of such a topic .
Now he aint fooling me , but only himself .
You see WHO and what DID the apotels go around preaching .
And what dire reminders and even dire warnings did they teach would come upon those who rejected and b eleived NOT
on JESUS .
Now notice that whatever lens , whether it be ecumeincal , inclusivsim , whatever ism
THEY DO NOT preach THE DIRE NEED for to BELIEVE ON JESUS
nor warn any about the dire circumstances if one BELIEVES NOT . NO they tone it all down
to fit , THEIR OWN doctrine . As i am very sure YOU ALREADY know that as well .
For days upon days , weeks upon weeks
you will always see them working hard to TRY and plant DOUBT
concerning THIS TRUTH and rather doing all to convince us about some kind of hope in the end WITHOUT HAVING HAD
TO BELIEVE ON JESUS .
They aint fooling me sister . ONLY themselves and only those who desire to hear a lie .
But not the sheep sister . HERE is WHO and what the SHEEP point too .
THE DIRE NECESSITY for to BELIEVE ON JESUS THE CHRIST and to oberseve all THINGS HE did teach
and to , Beware wonder and perish , for i work a work in your days that though a man declare it unto you
YE will NOT BELIEVE . notice the word PERISH in there . OH peter knew . as did paul and did them all .
NO JESUS , NO HOPE . TO DENY HIM you will be DENIED . But to believe on HIM is LIFE and LIFE ETERNAL .
OH THEY KNEW sister WHO and what to point too . JESUS THE CHRIST , HIS GOSPEL , HIS WORDS .

Amen. Without Jesus, man is like the beasts that perish, and have only a temporal life, it's as simple as that. Appreciate what you are doing around here brother. We just can't force it on anyone though, the truth is for whosoever will.

It cannot be forced . But it surely can and surely must be preached and brought to remembrance to all .
For men like epi do not slow down on their doctrine
and thus sheep must not take time off either . But you are spot on right , IT cannot be forced .
IN fact if t his were my own site
ANYTHING contrary to THE ONE TRUE GOSPEL of CHRIST would have been exposed
and if one kept on doing it , THEY Removed for the sake of the peoples and in hopes that perhaps they too repent in time .

No man , no not the first adam , first woman , and all born of woman CAN save themselves
or free themselves by their own means from the power of death .
BUT JESUS CAN . And ONLY HE can . what the first adam and all mankind cannot do
GOD has surely done so that all who DO BLEIEVE UPON THE SON shall have ETERNAL LIFE
and shall not SEE death nor face the wrath of GOD .
Which wrath , i might add , ALL were deserving of it . And that be why
THIS wee sheep is one HAPPY sheep indeed . Because rather than the death and wrath i deserved and had earned
THANKS BE TO GOD and TO HIS CHRIST , by HIS mercy , by HIS grace , t his sheep has eternal life .
And now a w ord
AWAKE thou that sleepest , AWAKE and CHRIST SHALL give thee LIGHT .
And without HIM we can do NOTHING . Horse in cart , NOT GONN A BODE WELL .
FAITH IN JESUS , NOW THAT IS LIFE and LIFE e ternal given by the GIVER OF LIFE who is LIFE , AKA JESUS THE CHRIST OF GOD .
THAT be who this sheep points too , as well as all sheep do . WE shall cling too and point too THE SON OF GOD
THE CHRIST OF GOD , THE ONLY H OPE one has .

Brother, we are constantly accused of condemning and persecuting the unbelieving "righteous" simply because of agreeing with the scriptures on that subject. Crazy accusation because it applies to all of us.........we ourselves are not saved by the filthy rags of our own righteousness, nobody is, and that is WHY we all need Christ......if we are persecuting the unbelieving righteous then we are doing it to ourselves as well. There is just so much ridiculousness around here with these things and I wish more could see it. The meek and humble are those who come to acknowledge that their own righteousness cannot save them and accept Jesus, and submit to the righteousness of God. "In me (that is in my flesh) is NO GOOD THING."

I wonder if Epi will come back and respond to those scriptures that speak to Abraham being the father only of those who have faith and who have Christ. So far, just more crickets as usual, as you say.

Gal 3:29
And IF YE BE CHRIST'S, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

If we are unable to enter into the kingdom realm of the Spirit (If we are not chosen) then we can still be under God's mercy. I don't preach hell fire (that's for the wicked and unbelieving)...no I teach about outer darkness which is reserved for those who don't know their place before God and persecute the righteous.

I think I will address that later.

But for the moment -

Peace <><
Always.

1Petr 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
1Petr 1:4 to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you,
1Petr 1:5 who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
1Petr 1:6 In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials,
1Petr 1:7 so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
