What I'm questioning is why God would have created many doors into the feast and then demanded that we use one particular door. So the reason I'm questioning why the rule was made is because it appears to be non-sensical and I'd like to think that God is anything but non-sensical.

As far as Him carrying me to the door, it is still not as easy as walking through the door directly in front of me (the very door that He's most likely poking his head out of to tell me to use the other door!).

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to deny God or the "feast" which He has prepared. I'm just trying to point out what seem to me to be flaws in the analogy.

It's the servants entrance. Only servants of God are allowed through.

You are right that the analogy is flawed.

There is only one door.

But it is open to all and G-d Himself will take you through it.

I just didn't think the story would be as good if I said the people were demanding the rich man have a hole punched through the wall.

Shalom.
