<< < (2/5) > >>

Yes, Yes beloved, I am asking a question. does anybody know exactly why Jesus used parables. I keep getting the same ansewer because it was not for them to know (the masses) I get it. Why? was it not meant for them to know? (many are called few are chosen) Even get this. does anybody have another ansewer??

PS thanks beloved

Beloved:
I thought you were trying to help a freind understand

The line 
He is asking a question not debating so perhaps showing 
 was in response to  the reply  DON’T WASTE GOD’S WORD ON SPIRITUAL DOGS AND PIGS

As to why God uses parable....He is the Potter and He doesn't have to explain anything to the pots.

This is His creation...perhaps it is just a big game of peek a boo

Somehow I do not think that we could fathom the reason at this stage in our lives because we are so spiritually immature. Why the two trees, why the flood why the cross?  All I know is

Isa 55:11  So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.


This is probably not helping but perhaps someone else can .

WhoAmI:
Because having them blind serves a purpose. If they were not blind, they would not be in need for healing. But they will one day see, but first you must be blind. You must be humbled, you must see the beast and you must repent etc. Being blind is part of the process. Mankind eat by the tons bread, but the true bread is rare. Just as with the masses they come seeking bread, but not many at once find the true bread from heaven.

I hope that helps.

--- End quote ---

First off--if we start from Jesus-- He had to do it that way because that was the way it was spoken in the prophets and scripture can not be broken.  Now if we go before that, beyond whats been given to you already in this thread, i think it would be like asking God why did we have to know evil to know good---or better put why did we have to find Truth when the so called "truth" is out there. (Reference my last post with this), Why do Jesus speak in parables when the "so called" truth is already out there.

Other than that i dont know

Have we ever known a small physical garden to be harvested without a laborer, let alone a spiritual garden of such gigantic proportion?
