I thought it to be common knowledge that Garee posts in parables.
Not a salvation issue more of
how can we faithfully believe God not seen rather than mankind seen. Many false apostles', false teachers, bringing commandments of dying mankind (I heard it through the dying father's grapevine.)
LOL Got to love the parables "the hidden manna".
Many seem to fear trying to interpret parables. It is like they find more comfort in signs to wonder after, out of body experiences, I had a vision had a dream etc following after lying signs to wonder after as if true prophecy. Satan the king of lying signs to wonder, marvel, wonder after as if true prophecy
The bible is written in parables. Comparing the temporal dying things seen to the eternal invisible. A great tool needed to rightly divide the parables is given (2 Corinthians 4:18)
A good commentary on parables Mark 9 and Luke 9.
Parables miraculously teach us
how to walk by
faith the
unseen things of
God.
In Luke 9 Jesus used a whole series of parables hiding the gospel understanding from the apostles again and again. On one occasion they were so confused that they decided to elect a new top dog. They must have thought Jesus went off the deep end even his own family has no understanding of the parable which without Christ spoke not. I would think the most misunderstood man that ever walked on water
At the end of the series of parables again to show the apostles not to look to the temporal but the spiritual unseen understanding of faith. The apostles thought he was going to Jerusalem to the Jews and not the gentiles to show he is Lord of all the kingdom of men the temporal. They did not understand the parable (walking by sight) demanded the Lord bring down fire and consume them completely, disappear as in "out of sight out of mind. The foundation of Paganism God calls fools .
Then in verve 55. . The Holy Father gave his apostle Jesus words rebuke the apostles and informed them They knew not what manner of spirit they were of (dying manner.
Luke 9:41-46;And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.
;And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.And they were all
amazed (not understood) at the
mighty power of God. But while they
wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,;Let these sayings (parables) sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.;But
they understood not this
saying,(parable) and
it was
hid from
them, that they
perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.;Then there arose a
reasoning among
them, which of
them should be
greatest.
Luke 9:52-55; And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set
his face to go to Jerusalem,And sent messengers before his face: and
they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.And they did not receive
him, because
his face was
as though he would go to Jerusalem.And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that
we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?But
he turned, and
rebuked them, and said,
Ye know not what manner of
spirit ye are
of.
Parables do have their role in the things not seen the eternal
