George,

I am glad you resurrected this thread because this question came to my mind today after reading another more recent thread.

Hi George & Eileen,

I dug up a few emails that pertain to this topic, my apologies in advance if they are repeated in former responses but I don't presently have the time to check it out, I have an appointment I need to get to shortly.

Peace,

Joe

Hi ray,

Thanks for the encouragement.. can you tell me what you mean when you say all of the scriptures are a parable?

Thanks,

Dave

 

Dear Dave:

More accurately, I have said: "The whole Bible is one giant parable."

By that I mean that virtually nothing is a literal teaching, but a spiritual teaching.  From the opening statements concerning "Let us make [be making, or making[ man in Our [spiritual] Image" to "And whosoever will [desires] let him take the water of [spiritual] life freely," the Church has not a clue as to what is being spoken of.  Hence, the doctrines of  Egypt have replaced the Truths of God's Word. The result is the teaching that God's first plan failed utterly, and plan B doesn't seem to be fairing much better. The whole world is going to hell in a handbasket for all eternity, and there is nothing that God can do to change it or correct it or save humanity. What a crock.  A Perfect God does not create eternal failings. All the evils of this modern world are exactly where God foreordained them to be.  All is heading for a perfect and flawless and marvelous eternal destiny. "The wise shall understand" (Dan. 12:10).

God be with you,

Ray

The entire Word of God is Spiritual. Even the literal stories, like the many different events of the the Nation of Israel, from Moses leading the Hebrews out of Egypt, to David defeating Goliath, to Israel being taken captive by Babylon, to Daniel and the lion's den,... all these historical events also have a Spiritual teaching behind it.

That is... for those who have the eyes to see and the ears to hear.
