You are ignorant of the big picture. I have no idea what your religious affiliation is but it is really messed up.I'm not wrong. I don't rely on one quote. I understand the phases of His ministry.I don't believe that is correct. He did not first speak in parables.
You are wrong. John 16:25 says so, not to mention the many times recorded in scripture that Jesus said something and the disciples did not know what he meant until after he was crucified appeared to them in dreams and their minds were opened to comprehend..
Like I said; one will understand, the other will not.
Ashamed to say what religion you follow, huh.
Of course you are dead wrong. I only referenced one verse but there are many instances in the gospels where it states clearly that Jesus spoke only in parables when teaching and that the disciples did not know what he was talking about. This is irrefutable. I assumed you knew this... If you do not even realize that Jesus was speaking in parables how is it possible that you could know what he was talking about? It isn't. Enough already. You suck at acting.
"Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable." Matthew 13:34
And no I am not ashamed to say what religion I follow. I have said it many times before that I do not follow any religion. Why should I? I have no need to be saved from anything, I am not lost. If I ever felt a need to escape from reality for a while I would ask myself what Jesus would do and then go party with sinners, prostitutes, and all sorts of bad characters and pour myself a drink. I certainly wouldn't addle or defile the sanctity of my mind with iniquitous religious flotsam..Once a person throws their rational mind in the trash, as is required to become a believer, with what can they get it back?
You, on the other hand, might want to take a moment from your busy day posting all over these boards to calculate the cost of the terrifying and disturbing consequences for misleading others by perpetuating bullshit in the name of the Lord.
Be honest with yourself for a change. You are a liar, an idolator, and a fraud. No one knows this better than you.....
I will let you in on a little secret.
You will never escape the hand of the Almighty either in this world or the world to come...
