Predestination:
noun
(as a doctrine in Christian theology) the divine foreordaining of all that will happen, especially with regard to the salvation of some and not others. It has been particularly associated with the teachings of St. Augustine of Hippo and of Calvin.
Free Will:
noun
the power of acting without the constraint of necessity or fate; the ability to act at one's own discretion.
1 Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: 2 “The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. 3 He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.
4 “Then he sent some more servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’
5 “But they paid no attention and went off—one to his field, another to his business. 6 The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them. 7 The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.
8 “Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. 9 So go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’ 10 So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, the bad as well as the good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. 12 He asked, ‘How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend?’ The man was speechless.
13 “Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
14 “For many are invited, but few are chosen.”
This parable describes perfectly how Predestination and Free Will work together for you to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
The original invited guests are Jews, they didn't show. Even tho Yeshua only preached and taught Jews, they wouldn't join. So then the disciples went out to the street corners and preached to us, the gentiles. If we listened and entered the banquet (Kingdom of Heaven), Predestination invited us, Free Will let me decide to show up.
HOWEVER: LISTEN TO THE FINAL WARNING!
Verse 11, the King (YHWH / God) saw a many not wearing wedding clothes,.....Vs. 12 thrown in to Hell. Read the below verses to understand wedding clothes. The Bible often speaks of "putting on", "wearing" "dressing" in clothes of righteousness. If we don't do what the bible says, we won't fit in the Kingdom of Heaven.
"Many are invited but few are chosen"
Bible verses about "wearing the right clothes for the wedding feast"
Many verses about predestination (notice how closely these verses tie to purity, godliness, HE has predestined us to become a "pure spotless bride of Christ"
