Pera,
I enjoyed reading your wonderful story!
And I especially enjoyed your comment on Jesus first miracle. I've read those Scriptures so many times, but never saw the parable of the pots of clay and the best wine! Thank you so much for bringing that spiritual meaning to my attention.
With Christian love,
Cindy :)

Hi there Mrsnacks, One of my favorite parables is the one where Yeshua is saying..."though you did many things in my name, get away from me for I never knew you, those of you who did works of iniquity" (paraphrased)....I like this one simply b/c so many "christians" hang onto this one particular scripture in order to say that the bible is to be taken literally and that hell is literal. (I know, I used to do the same.) It is a VERY SCAREY scripture to the masses and one that they actually can remember and recite. Even though I have tried to explain to them that this parable is just that ....a parable/a made up story....it is only figurative...not literal. this is too much for them to take in so they will have to chew on it...unfortuntaely, they choke on it instead. The same goes for the scripture of Lazarus and the rich man...they are convinced that there is a physical heaven and a great physical chasm that one might go to immediately after they die if they aren't good, and from where they can physically SEE HELL. ??? 8) :o ;)
Hello Pera,
It is always good to read your posts ...I always sense your high enregy and strong love for others in your heart; that blesses me. Thank you! :D

Hi again Snacks,
Well first off, Ray told us that the bible itself states it is allegoric in Gal 4: 24. I checked the Greek, and I concur: Greek = Allegoreo = allegory. Check it out as well on the online Greek English Interlinear. Voila!
My hat is off to Carol70 as I can relate to (paraphrasing) 'my eyes would bug out' and it was 'mind boggling' to have the understanding of Scriptural breakthroughs COME THROUGH! Yes, WOW! KA-POW!
Love your verse siting at Jer 33: 3!!! How RIGHT ON!!!
How a bit "spooky." WE KNOW HE WORKS ON AND ON [in us]!!! Amen!
I also very much relate to Diana's (paraphrased):
'I'm beginning to see the underlying theme of The Many Called/The Few Chosen... about EVERYWHERE' [in the Scriptures] ... more from Diana that is exquisite...
'[It's] a sort of secret code or or treasure map for the would-be elect.'
Right on dear woman. Heck it I know not where it comes from [HA! WINK WINK, NUDGE NUDGE], but IT COMES. Certainly not from me!
AND PRAISE GOD I AM FILLED WITH THE JOY FROM IT. GET READY BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!!
YAY AND THANKS TO BETH for your insight that 'that's the God I never saw and never knew (before), the God Who is in complete control.' Many thanks to you!
With love, Caregiver
