Connecting the dots, the parable of the ten virgins part eleven Q and A

Q  Why did the five wise virgins tell the five foolish virgins to go the sellers of the oil?

A   They would have not have enough oil to be able to trim their own oil lamps. Matt.25:9

Q   Were all of the virgins surprised when they heard the cry about the bride groom
      coming at midnight (6 PM's sunset) Matt.25:10

A   Yes

Q  The five wise virgins went into the wedding fest of the bridegroom.  Were they
      part of His bride? Matt. 25:10

A   No, since they missed the rapture of the bride of Christ, they weren't part of it.
     But they became part of the body of Christ and they were His invited wedding
     guests. Matt.25: 10.  After the five wise virgins entered into the wedding and the
     door was shut.  They were the very last ones to be admitted into it and were
     His last minute guests.

Q  What happened when the five foolish virgins said,"Lord, Lord, open the door
     to us? Matt 25:11

A    "But he answered and said,"Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you." 
       Matt. 25:12.  

Q   What's the rational behind the Lord's statement, "I do not know you
       in Matt. 25:13?

A  "Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son
      of Man is coming." In other words not being fully prepared does not equal
      to be invited into the Lord's wedding supper and being left outside of the
      already closed door.

Q   What happened when the king came into his banquet and saw a man,
      who did not have a wedding garment? Luke 22:11

A    "But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did
      not have on a wedding garment. "So he said to him,' Friend, how did you
      come in here without a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Luke 22:12

A    "Then the king said to his servants,'Bind him hand and foot, take him away,
      and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and wailing and 
      gnashing of teeth. Luke 22:13

Q  What is the Lord's rational for doing so? Luke 22:14

A   "For many are called, but few are chosen."

There was rich young man who came to Jesus and asked him how he could have eternal life and he claimed to follow the commandments since his youth.  "What else 
do I still  lack?" Jesus said to him,"If you want to be perfect,go, sell what you have and
give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven and follow me.  He didn't want
to give up his wealth.  "Assuredly, I say to you that is hard for a rich man to enter the
kingdom of heaven."
