In order for you to understand how the non-christian feels, you merely have to be willing to do a little thought exercise. Just imagine if your essay was written by a buddhist, and the banquet was called "nirvana" and not "salvation". Here you show up at the door with a cross over it, demanding entry, while the host kindly tries to direct you to another, with a sculpture of a portly, bald reclining figure handing out seating assignments. If you can pull off this small task of imagination, then you will know how they feel. WB

I have not named the banquet. In the names you have given, you suggest the banquet is an after-death banquet.

The banquet is a life banquet. I am eating of it now. The food is good. The wine is excellent. The fellowship is divine!

Come to the Table.

Shalom.
