Great! There are several reasons in fact. One is that by speaking using known things of the day --- shepherding, vineyards, farming, etc --- a person could instill into Jesus' teaching a way for them to understand it for themselves. They would get the moral application of the parable and put...

LOL You sure don't seem slow to me!!

We're only advised of the Like we each get... So, no, you don't notice all of them.

Right. But we're speaking on here to persons who know God. I think, at least.

A truth does not depend on whether or not we understand it or keep it. It's wrong to murder, even if we murder. God's truths are absolute.

You did the quote thingy! :)

The doctrine of OS in Catholicism teaches that the sin was passed to us, thus infant baptism. Is this what you mean?

Yeah. The apple had evil in it. JK One time, not long ago, it took me many lessons to teach a 7 yr old girl that the sin was not that they ate an apple. We all clapped when she finally understood. As to the why? Whoever answers that gets the prize...

Are you serious? You sound like a Pharisee -- you know, like I do sometimes.

I should change my place of residency from Italy to New York. It seems to be getting some here confused as to who I am. I'm a New Yorker, or as we like to say: Nu Yawka.

I was surprised. I didn't mean that only the intelligent could understand God OR scripture. I know some persons that have never held a bible and know God better and understand His precepts better than some bible-toting Christians. And I put myself in there...

See. We also both hate to use links. We agree again!!

That's only because I'm cute. Anyway, I agree with you on everything except one doctrine.

Sorry. I thought you meant THE WORD!! Are the commandments (decalogue) absolute truths to you?

I find it very interesting that @ByGrace gave you a like for your above quote since she believes the law has been abolished. She is a total mystery to me. Giving likes to persons that do not agree with her.

Yes this is true. Jesus confirmed that the parent's sin is not passed on to the children. God does not impute to us sins of another -- that would not be just. However, the EFFECTS of that sin have been felt by all, and also the sin nature IS PASSED DOWN to us. The sin nature did not exist...

"Grace through faith that is accompanied by works" (Yes. We all like Ephesians 2:8-9, but not everyone likes 2:10) It's simply because they don't understand, our works are made perfect the same way we are, through Christ Jesus. "Jesus makes [obedience] possible the same way He makes...

You're saying the bible cannot be understood...

Who's following the Pope?

Miracles are OK. I'm talking about the laws. Not all the laws were written by God. Inspired? Some don't sound so inspired. I'm not the only one who thinks this. Theologians think this. Some anyway. I never make up my own theology...
