1 | Who is the man in this verse? | Matt 22:11 | rbt56 | 29135 | ||
Doesn't this contradict the guarantee of salvation? How did this man end up at the party in the first place, especially if this is a reference to heaven? | ||||||
2 | Who is the man in this verse? | Matt 22:11 | Emmaus | 29174 | ||
rbt56, The wedding garment is the true repentance , change of heart and mind that is the condition for entrance into the kingdom, (see Matt 3:2; 4:17) accompanied by continuance in good works. Matt 7:21-23. The man was unrepentent and his life unchanged. The garment is the garment of righteousness. He had not put on Christ. Rev 6:9-11. Emmaus |

3 | Who is the man in this verse? | Matt 22:11 | rbt56 | 29183 | ||
Perhaps I'm being too literal. But the man not wearing wedding clothes makes it to the party(heaven) how? And then is not asked to leave, but is aggressively thrown out. I'm just trying to put a reason behind this story. If this is a version of salvation, in other words this man was saved which is why he made it to heaven, then why was he thrown out? What was Jesus getting at? Why does this have to be so complicated after all these years? |

4 | Who is the man in this verse? | Matt 22:11 | Emmaus | 29185 | ||
I was thinking more like a man who made it into the church, where we never know a person's true heart, but when he gets to God in the receiving line he is seen for what he is, judged and thrown out of the Wedding Feast of the Lamb into the outer darkness or hell. He never made it past the lobby. Anyway with my previous post, that is how I read it for what that is worth. Emmaus |

5 | Why was the man speechless? | Matt 22:11 | EdB | 29187 | ||
The man in Matthew 22:11 was speechless in verse 12 does that imply he had no idea he wasn't dressed correctly? Or simply that he had no excuse? Remember he was brought in. EdB |

6 | Why was the man speechless? | Matt 22:11 | Jesusman | 29193 | ||
Hello Ed, This is the parable of the Wedding feast, and one of my favorites. The parable begins with the calling of those who were initially invited to the feast. However, they would not come. When asked a second time, they revolted, killed the servants, and made the king angry. As a result, the king punished them by burning the city and their homes, and killing the murderers. After that, he sent the servents to the highways to invite guests and travellers. Now, It was customary in those days to give a travller time to prepare after coming from a journey. It was also customary to have the guest change into their wedding clothes in preparation. If they did not have the proper clothes, they would have been provided with some. Here was a man who was not properly dressed. This was a sign of disrespect to the king. All the man wanted was the food, but did not want to do his part to get it. As a result, the guest was evicted from the premisses. So, while he was brought in, he was no better than the ones who where initially invited, and he was punished Jesusman |

8 | Why was the man speechless? | Matt 22:11 | Jesusman | 29495 | ||
There could be any number of reasons. Maybe he was awestruck by the amount of food there was? The text really doesn't clarify. Jesusman |
