Your analogy is very good up until the rich man yells "Enough!" Our Lord never gives up on us, no matter how many times we turn away from Him. He always gives us the opportunity "to go through the correct door."

Perhaps a better ending would be to have the "group of people sitting outside the locked door" spend eternity smelling the delicious food at the banquet but NEVER getting to taste it.

It is my belief that the door is closed permanently when we face G-d in judgement after death. If, at that time, we have not become His, then we may never become His.

However, I understand your belief and will not challenge it too strongly. Your ending is also a good one.

Shalom.

Boy!....did you say that right! To solve todays above riddle please aquire a copy of the URANTIA BOOK and start out by begining with the last section of the book first. Section 4. This will set everyone at ease and realize what "religion" truly is. No matter what one.
