Mr funches, this is not meant to insult you, but you are carnal-minded. you don't understand spiritual things... sorry CeriseRose ...but for all you know..I could be Jesus also I've dappered into the bible which means that I know just as much about spiritual things than you .... Your birth name may be "Jesus" but you are not"The Christ" of the scriptures. 
sounds like something a Pharisee would say ... |

Ok, but that is not what you asked before. You asked me how many people I knew who spoke only in parables. yep...but you still haven't answer that one And what is a parable? A short allegorical story designed to illustrate or teach some truth, religious principle, or moral lesson. oh oh...running to the dictionary instead of the bible to explain is a lack of faith ...why?...I'm pretty sure those uneducated people you were talking about back in those biblical days wouldn't have understood that definition ..ok so now use a parable to explain the definition of what a parable is and then you will understand why speaking in parables are deceptive Why would a story be on my birth certificate? I have no idea what you are talking about. "freakyshiki" are you trying to use The Tower of Babel defense? it's simple...howe many parables are on your birth certificate..unless of course you never looked at it |

A birth certificate is merely a place to place data. A parable is much more than data. And I did answer your question about who speaks in parables. Many people do today, such as parents or teachers.
As for trying to explain parables back to people in the day, THAT was a major form of communication back then. It would be like today, if someone IMed you, they would not have to explain what IM is. |

"Freakshiki" ...thanks for the history lesson...but you still didn't answer the question .... how many people in your life talk to you in parables everytime they talk to you ... because they feel that you are uneducated |

imagine if Jesus gave up that quicky ...and Jesus didn't have The Internet to "google cut and paste" biblical scripture from like you do |

OK, you are flip flopping. Are you asking how many times people are speaking in parables EVERY TIME they speak with me? If that is your question, nobody, including Christ, speaks in parables every time they speak.
Or, are you asking how many times people are speaking in parables when they speak with me (that is, sometimes)? If that is your question, the answer is many people, including: 1. Other parents. 2. My sages. 3. Teachers. In fact, whenever you are explaining something that has a moral viewpoint through the mechanism of telling a story, you are telling a parable. Also, the telling of the story was one of the primary forms of communication back then. It was a way to get a point across. Even if someone were educated, Jesus would still speak in parables. Because parables are a great way to explain something that is deep. |

Because parables are a great way to explain something that is deep. Jeez..getting an straight answer from you guys is like Hell ..er.. (no pun intended) maybe if I refine the question you will answer it "Freakyshiki" how many people in "YOUR" life talk to you in parables everytime they see you because they feel that you are uneducated and wouldn't understand the direct truth approach |

funches, if you are not getting the answers you want, maybe you are asking the wrong questions.
Anyway, we are at an impasse. Let me ask you a question. Are you a person who is in doubt, or are you determined that God does not exist? |

funches, if you are not getting the answers you want, maybe you are asking the wrong questions. yep..It means that I need to ask a question that you will answer Anyway, we are at an impasse.

If you doubt, you do not believe. That's a wimpy way to believe. Christ is not looking for wimpy Christians.
You either believe or not. You make a stand and live by it. |

Are you a person who is in doubt, or are you determined that God does not exist? Those who have closed their ears to Biblical truths hear only the parables which believers speak. But they can't understand what is said. Because once they made the decision to turn away from the truth. Now they can't find it. "For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears." Heb_12:17, That's how it works. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. |

But, God loves us more. In fact, God IS love. He loves us so much that He created a place for those of us who do not want to be with Him. And that place is Hell. And that is why Hell is torment. Because it is devoid of God. Hope this helps, Shiki to claim that someone or some entity loves you because you read it in a book and not from them may point to delusion .....how many other people or entities that you read about in books do you believe loves you |

If you doubt, you do not believe. That's a wimpy way to believe. Christ is not looking for wimpy Christians. that's not true....isn't Christ looking for sheep? |

CeriesRose...haven't we already establish that Jesus talked in parables to those that he felt was uneducated and wouldn't understand even if they did hear? |

Sheep may be considered dumb (as in a bit naive or wimpy), but most are wiser than humans. They know their Master's voice. "But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you." Joh_10:26, "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:" Joh_10:27, "And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers." Joh_10:5, |
