I also collect rain water but..... The impact of water table loss is not just on having water to drink it is in our ability to keep crops producing enough to sustain an existing population and produce more as the population continues its rapid increase. You and I may have water to drink but...

Which is why I suggested you look into it.

The news markets calamity to everyone daily. I engineer systems that help to keep civilized life stable. I have had years to see how quickly current systems become outdated and that available supplies vs. demand are separating quickly. If as you think the earth can support 70 billion then you...

So you believe Christ already came and did his part and then left allowing everything to decline back?

the entire past has gone through ups and downs. We have uncovered the oldest city on record as having indoor plumbing and underground sewer. So, yes there have been both good and bad but nothing will be as bad as when our food supply and fresh water supply cannot support the population. US...

The problem always seems to come down to interpretation. When you have a multitude of verses that show with hard proof that things are not what you assert they are then there is indeed a problem and requires that you research the subject just as God told us too. As I showed you plainly in a...

The world today is nearing the point where God's command to fill the world is being realized. It is also a time where people could and are actually destroying the earth. Most don't realize this small point in revelation but it prophesied about those who destroy the earth...

The world is not going to change for the better until Christ comes and removes the evil from it. In fact the world will get much worse as it is written; Matt 24:19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 20But pray ye that your flight be not in the...

I didn't see anything stand out as missing but it was a quick perusal and the bottom line intent was to show that not everything Christ taught was in parable form. If by chance there is something missing from the list I am sure it would be no great hardship to add more to the list but in the end...

How often do I say that you need to pray for understanding or something with the same intent? I also always point out where possible understandings of men and call them that. The part you haven't quite picked-up on yet is that I am not asking anyone to follow my teachings / assertions because...

If all are deceived then none are saved. The words written in a translation are not really God's word per se which is why it is best to learn to read ancient Hebrew. I would also say that if you know the truth and don't try to correct error when you see it that you are not living according to...

It is obvious that there are some people who are still veiled to the correct understandings of God's word and no matter what evidences are brought to their attention from God's word it is simply denied or asserted to not hold the meaning that God has clearly meant for it. In the passage below is...

The Parables of Jesus can be found in all the gospels, except for John, and in some of the non-canonical gospels, but are located mainly within the three synoptic gospels. They represent a key part of the teachings of Jesus, forming approximately one third of his recorded teachings. Parables of...

Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him,

If Christ only taught in parables and we should not take them literally then, what does this teaching / parable really say? Matt 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will...

So the floor is open for anyone who might wish to give the OP answer a try.

That is the proper way to examine the dividing of God's word for parables. This topic may be worthy of its own thread since properly dividing God's word should be an important part of any Christians life.

It is interesting that you say that. So far I have given you replies from myself and scriptural reference and you said you would reply to what I wrote and yet you have pasted a number of links to others who do not answer to what I have written nor to the scripture I have referenced for you to...

You are entirely free to believe whatever you think is correct. I am not here to convince you. I have pointed to those things that were written and it is up to you to pray for the proper guidance to interpret the meanings in Gods word.

If the story as told is not taken as reality then it would be considered a lie. The parts of God's word that are meant to be taken literally are indeed to be taken literally, those that are an allegory or parable are taken as such. This is where one must pray for the understanding to divide...
