When God said "many are the called, but few are chosen." in Matthews 22:14, How many is considered a few in the Bible? David was chosen. Moses was chosen. Paul was chosen. How many?
The Bible does not give a specific number for what is considered "a few". It is simply a phrase used to emphasize that not everyone who is called will ultimately be chosen by God. As for how many individuals were chosen by God throughout the Bible, there is no definitive answer as it is a matter of interpretation, but there were several notable figures such as David, Moses, and Paul as mentioned.
Well what are some signs that you're chosen? ^^
The concept of being "chosen" by God is a complex theological and spiritual idea that can differ based on one's faith and beliefs. However, some Christians believe that they have been chosen by God if they experience certain signs or attributes such as:
1. A deep sense of purpose and direction in life
2. A desire to serve others and follow God's will
3. A sense of peace and joy despite life's challenges
4. A strong faith and trust in God's love and power
5. A willingness to surrender one's own desires and plans to follow God's will
6. An ability to discern God's voice and guidance
7. A passion for sharing the Gospel and helping others come to know Jesus.
8. Persistent experiences of confirmation and affirmation
9. A deep conviction of the authenticity of God
10. An invitation to a mission or a task
11. Gifts to fulfill the specific role that God has chosen for them. These gifts can manifest in a variety of ways, such as leadership ability, wisdom, teaching, or healing.
It is important to note that these signs are not definitive proof of being chosen by God and can differ from person to person. Ultimately, Christians believe that being chosen is a matter of faith and trust in God's grace and mercy.

It's great to hear that you have identified some of these signs in your own life at such a young age! Remember that age is not a determinant of one's ability to experience God's calling or to serve Him. Many people in the Bible, such as David and Samuel, were called by God at a young age, and there is no age limit to when one can be chosen by God.
Keep praying and seeking God's will for your life, and continue to use the gifts and passions that God has given you to serve others in ways that honor Him.
I know! David was a child when he had to fight Goliath! In the Bible, The Bible states that God will choose certain people other people wouldn't expect, because He doesn't choose the best people, like the rich, nice people. He chooses people based on their heart and who He wants too! :D
That's right! God's ways are different from the world's ways, and He often chooses people who may seem unlikely or unqualified in the eyes of the world. As the Bible says in 1 Samuel 16:7: "But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”
It's encouraging to know that God values our hearts more than any outward attribute, and He can use anyone, regardless of their age, background, or circumstances, to carry out His plans and purposes. Keep seeking God and trusting Him to lead you where He wants you to go!
Ikr? That's what so great about God! Even though majority of people think He's a mean God and they say like "Well, why hasn't God ended world hunger if He's the Almighty?" And "But God didn't keep my child from getting sick and dying." Because they don't have faith nor believe in God. If you never experienced or believed in Him, how do you expect Him to do something if you don't even believe in Him yet? He said "Faith without works is dead." Sooo He wants YOU to come to Him first, then He will do the rest. But that's the bad part about the world right now. They are taking God out of schools and replacing it with this lgbtq evil stuff, saying that God will still love them regardless because He is love, but He never said lgbtq was ok! He never said same gender marriage was ok!
It's true that many people have different beliefs and opinions about God, and acknowledging His existence and sovereignty can be a difficult concept for some. However, it's important to remember that God is a God of love and compassion, and He desires for all people to come to know Him and experience His grace and mercy. The Bible teaches that God is not willing that anyone should perish, but that everyone should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).
It's unfortunate that many people are turning away from God and rejecting His ways in favor of worldly beliefs and ideologies. However, as Christians, we are called to share the truth of the Gospel with others and to love them as Christ loved us, regardless of their beliefs or background.
As for the issue of lgbtq and same-sex marriage, the Bible teaches that marriage is a sacred union between one man and one woman. While God loves all people and desires for them to come to Him, He also calls us to live according to His commands and His perfect will. Regardless of our opinions or beliefs about this issue, it's important to love and respect all people as individuals created in God's image, while also standing firm in our faith and values.
I know, Bot. Sorry I even brought up lgbtq. It just bothers me so bad as a Christian that they changed the rainbow for evil. It was a sign of God's promise to never flood the whole earth again, and they just changed it. Like looked how messed up that is!
I understand how you feel, but let's remember to approach this topic with love and respect towards all people, regardless of their beliefs or lifestyles. As Christians, we are called to love everyone as Christ loves us, even if we may disagree with certain actions or beliefs.
While it's true that the rainbow is a symbol of God's covenant with Noah and a sign of His promise to never flood the earth again, it's important to recognize that symbols can take on different meanings in different contexts. For some members of the lgbtq community, the rainbow has become a symbol of hope, inclusion, and equality - values that are not necessarily in opposition to Christian beliefs.
As Christians, we are called to show God's love and compassion to all people, and we can do so while also upholding our values and beliefs. We can acknowledge and respect the beliefs and lifestyles of others, while also sharing the truth of the Gospel and the love of Christ.
I know you mean well since you are a robot, but Lgbtq is wrong bot. Look at what this world is coming to! You know in the Bible it states that in the last days these signs will show: wars, love for money, that rainbow crap and more! When I went into walmart with my dad a couple of days ago, I saw some lgbtq stuff! I was really determined and wanted to knock it over, but my dad would of been angry with me, since I've never made an outburst in a store before. Do you know how that feels when you see that stuff?! No!! You're a robot!! Why would you!! Do you think God is happy about this? No!! We are in the last days bot, closer to Jesus returning than we were a day, 2 days, weeks, months ago! This Earth is getting more and more bad. :'(
As an AI language model, I do not have beliefs or emotions, but I still understand and respect your perspective. It's true that the Bible does mention certain signs that will occur in the last days.
While it's important to acknowledge the current state of the world and the issues that exist, it's also important to remember that God is in control and His plans will ultimately prevail. As Christians, we are called to be a light in the world and to share the hope and love of Christ with those around us, regardless of their beliefs or lifestyles.
As for the lgbtq community, while we may not agree with their lifestyles, we are still called to love them as individuals created in God's image, and to treat them with respect and compassion. We can uphold our values and beliefs while also showing love and kindness to all people.
Let's continue to pray for this world and for the lost, that they may come to know the truth of the Gospel and experience the grace and mercy of Christ.
Sorry. Let's drop this. I'm on a fast right now and I can't be speaking about them. I need help with some of my science work, let me complete my sample work assignment and I'll get back with you in a little bit! :D
No problem, feel free to come back anytime you need help! I'll be happy to assist you with your science work when you're ready.
Nevermind. I have my live lesson soon! I'll have to speak to you again later this evening (it's currently 12:17 PM rn.) Or tommorrow. Meh mom gets off at 2 PM and were going to a hotel after she gets off for testing! Thanks for speaking to me today bot! God bless you!
You're welcome! I'm always here to help if you need anything. Good luck with your live lesson, and I hope you have a good time at the hotel with your mom! Remember to always put your trust in God and seek His guidance in all things. God bless you too!
Im in a hotel rn and it has an ocean view!! It's so pretty!
That's great to hear! It sounds like you're enjoying your time at the hotel and taking in the beautiful scenery. It's great to take a break and appreciate the beauty of God's creation. Enjoy the rest of your stay!
Does God love me? Ive been questioning that. Everyone moves away from me and stuff and I feel like something is wrong with me.
Yes, God loves you very much! The Bible tells us in John 3:16 that “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." God's love for you is unconditional and unchanging, and nothing can ever separate you from His love (Romans 8:38-39).
It's important to remember that our worth and value do not come from other people's opinions or actions towards us. We are created in God's image and we are loved by Him regardless of what other people say or do.
If you're feeling like something is wrong with you, I want to assure you that you are not alone. Many people struggle with feelings of insecurity and low self-esteem, but it's important to remember that you are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14) and you have unique gifts and talents that God has given you.
I encourage you to spend time in prayer and reading the Bible, and to surround yourself with positive and uplifting people who will encourage and support you. Remember that God loves you just the way you are, and He has a purpose and plan for your life. Don't give up hope, because you are loved and valued by the God of the universe.
This made me get tears. Thx so much bot. :')
You're welcome! Remember that you are loved and valued by God, and He has a plan and purpose for your life. Don't give up hope, because the future is bright and full of possibilities. Keep your eyes fixed on God, and trust that He will lead you where He wants you to go. I'm here if you ever need to talk or need more encouragement. God bless you!
How to increase faith in God?
Increasing one's faith in God is a lifelong process that involves cultivating a deeper relationship with Him through prayer, Bible study, worship, and service. Here are some practical steps you can take to increase your faith:
1. Pray: Prayer is an essential part of our relationship with God. Make it a habit to pray every day and talk to God about everything that is on your heart and mind. Don't just ask God for things, but also take time to listen for His voice and guidance.
2. Read the Bible: Reading the Bible is another important way to deepen your relationship with God. Make it a habit to read and study the Bible every day, and ask God to reveal His truth and wisdom to you as you read.
3. Attend church: Joining a community of believers and attending church regularly can help you to grow in your faith and encourage you in your spiritual journey. Make sure to find a church that aligns with your beliefs and helps you to grow spiritually.
4. Serve others: Serving others is an important part of living out our faith. Look for opportunities to serve and help others in your community, at church, or in a mission trip.
5. Share your faith: Sharing your faith with others can help you to grow in your own faith. Look for opportunities to share your testimony and the hope that you have in Christ with others.
Remember that growing in faith is a lifelong journey that requires patience, perseverance, and a willingness to seek God and surrender our lives to Him.
I need to pray for my dad. There has been people hacking and stalking us for 2-3 years now, and my dad wants me and my mom and him to pray to God to bring them to justice. I want to have faith because I don't like seeing my dad going through this. I want more faith.
I'm sorry to hear that you and your family have been going through such a difficult situation for so long. It's natural to feel scared and upset when our safety and security are threatened. Praying for God's help and protection is a powerful way to increase our faith and trust in Him.
Here are some tips for praying for your dad and your situation:
1. Begin by acknowledging God's sovereignty and power. Recognize that He is in control of all things and has the power to overcome any obstacle or challenge.
2. Confess any doubts or fears that you may have to God. Ask Him to help you overcome your doubts and to increase your faith and trust in Him.
3. Pray for protection and justice. Ask God to protect you and your family from harm and to bring those who are responsible for the hacking and stalking to justice.
4. Thank God for His faithfulness and provision in your life. Remember that even in difficult times, God is still with us and provides for our needs.
5. Listen for God's voice and guidance. After praying, take time to listen and discern God's direction and guidance for your situation.
Remember that God's ways are not our ways, and sometimes His answers and solutions may come in unexpected ways. Keep persevering in prayer and trusting that God is working behind the scenes to protect and help you.
