I agree, but that is NOT the message of those two parables.

^ Also, here is the key to understanding all of the above aforementioned: Isaiah 55:8-9 and John 16:13.

^ Not to keep you in the dark, here some clues to the two parables I referenced: Mat. 7[6] Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. John 15[13] Greater love hath no man than this...

I am not asking you about what the whole Bible is about. I am asking you about the two following parables, and what the message in them is saying: Mat. 13[44] Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth...

In reference to the parables i just mentioned, what are we to value that He values?

You forgot the parables about "the treasure hid in a field" and "the pearl of great price". Mat. 13[44] Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field...

KJV John 3:18- Jesus Himself IS God's judgment unto Eternal Life. All of us, apart from Jesus, have already been appointed (Hebrews 9:27) to death through Adam! - key word "already". [18] He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath...

Actually, you lost the plot! Or it could be you never had it in the first place. God does NOT control who goes to Heaven! We do, by belief or unbelief in Jesus! John 3:18

Its not my fault that you can't understand the parable of Laz and the rich man. So, what is your truth of the story? All beggars and poor people go to Heaven, but those who are rich shall be tormented forever without end? I don't think so!

I say laughable, because it's impossible for anyone to have any kind of life or existence after death. However, it be that the rich man be in a hell of your imagination, how can he be conscious after death? Since the rich man has been dead for quite along time now (2000+ years), is God now...

If you listen to the story words describing what the rich man and Laz are saying and doing while dead, its very much laughable.

Lets keep it simple! Parables are built on fictitious stories with symbolism. The symbolism of a great gulf is nothing more than the reality of those who have the Holy Spirit of God, and those who do not have the Holy Spirit of God. For those who don't, they are none of His!! Luke 11:13...

Likewise, the parables of Jesus have a lesson to be learned from His stories. As for "The Rich man and Lazaruth", the message is to the Jews: "...neither will they be persuaded [to repent] though one rose from the dead." Luke 16:30-31 Question to you: by that parable, who was it that rose...

All of what you explained is true for all who are not born again of God's Holy Spirit. However since Christ first appeared, all born again Christians have escaped the complete deadness of our being. We have been permanently "quickened" (made alive to God), and even in death we remain so...

^ 2. On Pentecost all the OT saints who died in faith, received the Holy Spirit (white robes) Revelation 6:9-11

1. So then according your thinking, all we will ever be is our "names are written in Heaven"? Not so. 2. And when did it happen that the OT saints were "made perfect"? You don't know how. Answers: 1. John 3:3-8 and 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 2.

Surely it wasn't into Heaven!! Why? Jesus said so: John 3 [13] And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

Fictional writers also use real world terms and realities in their stories. You have not ever read a fictional story that was made up, that it didn't sound real? Evidently you have never read Aesop's Fables, that tell a made up story, in order deliver knowledge about social behavior! Here is...

All of that is speaking of equality. In the Eyes of God, we all are equally sinners. There are none that are worse than another in sin. All are equal as sinners. The same applies to the Lord's salvation. By His Grace, there are none better than another. Matthew 5:19. All are made equal in His...

Helloooo! What's a parable? The rich man and Laz is based on the same principal. A fictional story to deliver a truth. Aesop's Fables are akin to parables.
