Hi Booker,

I use over 50 Bible translations, multiple concordances, read most passages 20 or more times when trying to get a sense of meaning. All that said, knowing what the words mean and the context they were used in; only gives a superficial understanding of text and context.

Scripture is written in words that are Symbols, Proverbs, Parables, Metaphors of something like what is is describing, but not the thing. It is the Highest Level Code by a long shot, Christ said as much when He told His Disciples This.

Mat 13: 10-18 (ASV)
10  And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

11  And he answered and said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12  For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath.

13  Therefore speak I to them in parables; because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14  And unto them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive:

15  For this people's heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest haply they should perceive with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And should turn again, And I should heal them.
16  But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.

17  For verily I say unto you, that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which ye see, and saw them not; and to hear the things which ye hear, and heard them not.
18  Hear then ye the parable of the sower.

Put in everyday speech; he said, i hold the keys to the secrets of everything, and i give those keys out to whomever i will. Seems hard, but taken with this other parable, makes all the sense in the world.

Mat 7:6 (MKJV)
Do not give that which is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet and turn again and tear you.
