[Fish out of Water]

I think this analogy is flawed. You need to throw in a few more ingredients. Continue with the rich man providing the dinner but instead of people demanding to enter through the door of their choice, you have groups running around saying follow me to the banquet. When you try to follow your would be guides you end up running all over town but never arriving at the banquet, then your guides proclaim that you need to tithe some of your money in order to demonstrate to the rich man your goodwill. When you look closer you find that those who promised to show you the way were leading you around for their own benefit and spending the tithes for their own enrichment. After dealing with the hypocrites that pretend to speak for the rich man and never seeing the banquet, you begin to wonder if there really is a banquet or if the rich man is anything more than a figment of someone’s imagination.

I think this analogy is flawed.

Focus on G-d. Forget the other people. G-d has given you His word so that you may read it for yourself. Don't allow yourself to be distracted.

Come to the Table.

Shalom.
