What?
I just want to point out that in the wedding illustration, that guy who gets thrown out it's not because he didn't put an effort dressing
He was thrown out because he he could not have got inside the building without the wedding garment
So he shouldn't be there
That's why they thrown him out
Because he was not recognized as being one of the invited AND chosen in any of the 3 rounds of invites that went out , the dude had to go.
The whole deal is basically telling people at the time that each rejected invitation made you part of his enemies, and even then if you tried to pass as if you had been invited and chosen, you'd be found out
-
Okay but it still roughly fits the situation in the OP, doesn't it? He got thrown out because he wasn't producing the expected result (i.e. being a proper wedding guest).
-
All guests were given the garment for free.So maybe he thought his own garment was better than the one provided by the host, which it wasn't.-
All guests were given the garment for free.
Where does it say that?
-
You're right, I must have misremembered that. I totally thought that it was explicitly stated in this parable.
-
I appreciate your honesty.

I honestly appreciate your appreciation to the other guy's honesty

Nah, it's because he wasn't even supposed to be there. He was not chosen
-
Okay, then perhaps the guy in the OPs meme wasn't chosen either
-
Probably, I don't understand the meme at all
-
The meme is attempting to caricature Conservative’s idea of Jesus by alleging that the biblical Jesus would never put profit over people. But as the parables I mentioned show, that is in fact inaccurate and thus promotes a liberal caricature of Jesus who feeds people endlessly without ever asking for anything in return.
