call me a dork ruining everyone's fun but this is just bog-standard calvinist ideology used to brainwash children. it's meant to be a metaphor for how deathbed conversion to christianity only happens because god pre-ordained it, meaning some souls are predestined to go to heaven, and other souls are predestined to go to hell, entirely based on the whims of how God created those souls at the beginning of time. If you convert to christianity on your death bed, it's because God designed that to happen. If you don't, you to go hell and burn forever, because God designed that to happen. I hate this shit. even if it has the surface appearance of Jesus advocating "communism," (people really need to stop conflating the vague pacifistic egalitarianism and asceticism and charity of early christianity, with the modern communist movement. Comrade Rosa cleared this up 118 years ago.).
The parable has nothing to do with predestination and every christian sect besides calvinism believes in conversion. I really can't see where are you coming from with this comment.
From the text: "The only reason anyone turns to God is because He gave us that grace."
Sounds like predestination to me. Or perhaps they mean to say that God changed his mind at the last minute? Or something. It's not super clear.
