Oops, Jesus didn't say His parables were lies, He turned right around explained the hidden meaning of that parable to His disciples, so the parables contain God's Truth--God's Word that you, to preserve your tradition, have stated you have no esteem for.

You've made your point ("These parables threaten my tradition--therefore, God never intended them for believers, and I don't care what they say!"), so quit wasting your time talking with an "ignorant" person--see yourself out of the conversation.

You've had to use mental gymnastics, gobbledygook, to try to distance yourself from those parables, because you recognized they threatened your traditions, so don't come back now and pretend you're merely objecting to my "interpretations" of the parables.

@christiansoldier Same as I said to Taylor : no sense in wasting resources repeating the same truths endlessly when you have no appetite for it, but adhere to your traditions, sitting here spewing your empty gobbledygook ("Jesus's parables aren't true!" Or "I don't need to care or submit to what...

Jesus didn't rejoice in wreaking destruction because the parables were LIES. The parables were merely God's Truth DISGUISED. (This is a "basic" truth your "teachers" apparently haven't taught you yet.) Jesus turns around and EXPLAINS the truth He hid in the parable to His disciples. This means...

Guy, you are not in a position to teach anything to me. You are in rebellion against God's Word--the parables. Go publish your heresy (your rebellion against the parables) to your Calvinist buddies and see what they think.

When you objected "parables were for crowds, not disciples", you were citing Matthew 13. In it, the disciples asked, "Why do you preach in parables to the crowds?" Jesus said, "To you is given the truth of the Kingdom" So, there was a distinction between the crowd and the disciples. So, are you...

That's not true. I despise the idea of God being a Father, yet I am forced to accept it. My father abandoned us, and my step father was a Muslim terrorist. I have no reason to want God to be a father.

Jesus spoke the parable of the unforgiving steward to Peter. You don't like the truth of the parable because it threatens your tradition. That's fine, but the parable for was Peter, who was a disciple, not for the crowds. Therefore, the parable is for you.

All right, man, nice talking with you--no sense in keeping on wasting my resources repeatedly citing the same verses of Scripture over and over! Thanks for joining the convo!

No one is forcing you to pretend to discuss anything with me. Go believe what ever pleases you.

1. Nope, Jesus spoke this parable to Peter and the disciples in response to Peter asking "How many times should I forgive my brother who sins against me?" 2. In the case of the Parable of the Sower, to which you refer, Jesus immediately turned around and broke the parable down to the disciples...

Yet you claim the Holy Spirit leads you to reject the Word of God, the parables... not sure you're qualified to tell me anything about the Word of God.

LOL OK So, "now", your answer is that the parables are not binding on Christians. Are you sure you're not a Muslim? I know, also, that some fake Christians cut Paul's letters out, and call him a false Apostle, because they think he disagrees with Jesus. In order to preserve your tradition, you...

LOL Sure, tell yourself that. You reject God's Word to walk in your tradition. God forgave the servant, then rescinded His forgiveness. Can't change God's Word. Go believe your emptiness. You don't have to pretend to "discuss" things here. I can live with you not accepting what I'm saying...

You've consistently vomited up gobbledygook. Go your way. Hahaha

Romans 11 33Oh, the depth of the riches, [l]both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!

I use numbers so that my answers can be explicit, and be answered explicitly. I do not run or hide. Please answer the numbered points, point for point (1. ... 2. ... 3. ...). It seems you're evading.

With all my heart, I wish I could be a Monergist. It would be a lot easier than studying and honoring the plain truth of the Word, which is so hard to understand as to be impossible without God's intervention.

Matthew 18, the parable of the unforgiving servant, is, as I have proven, synergistic.
