Greetings again Mr G Lee,
Yes, your thoughts and presentation are obscure and perhaps you need more than just a holiday. I am not sure if others are tuned in to your wave length, but I cannot follow what you are attempting to convey. Possibly you do not have a logical aim, but just like speaking about things that are not really connected.
Kind regards
Trevor
Hi thanks for the reply .I would offer. . . not really connected are those who are confused
I understand it must be hard to understand a slow learning process the obscure parables that teach us "
how" to walk by faith (the unseen obscure mysteries of God's faith ) The signified tongue spoken of in the opening of the book of Revelation 1:1
It would seem you being under the authority of those "of the number" who compare themselves by themselves (walking by sight after the temporal things seen ) of so called venerable men that you call elders. We are warned of the antichrists' that say we do need a man to teach us .
The ordinance "without parables Christ spoke" not must be obeyed. The literal must be mixed with the signified or we have no rest, not be yoked with Christ.. . the mixing (Hebrew 4:1-2) .
Hebrews 4:1-2 King James Version Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into
his rest, any of you should seem to come short of
it. For unto
us was the
gospel preached, as well as unto
them: but the
word preached did not profit
them, not being
mixed with
faith in
them that
heard it.
If the parables are not rightfully divided to give us the spiritual unseen understanding .Then all that is left is what the eyes see and hands touch . I would suggest don't be afraid to dig a little as for silver or gold .
Remember the 20/20 prescription needed to rightly divide prophecy (parables) (2 Corinthians 4:18)>we look to the things not seen (faith) the eternal and not to those seen the temporal (no faith)
The apostles that were rebuked at the end of the matter. It was revealed to them they knew not what manner of spirit they were following (walking by sight ) At one time still confused not understanding the parables( a whole series) . They gather themselves together with Jesus standing right before them and went to elect a new alfa dog thinking Jesus went off the deep end . They could not understand the hidden meaning again and again they made a show of their confusion .
Note. .
(parenthesis) my offering
Luke 9:44-55 Let these
sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men. But
they understood not this
saying, and
it was
hid from
them, that
they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying. Then there arose a reasoning among
them, which of
them should be
greatest. (walking by sight no faith)And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him, And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great. And John
(who did not understand the parable) answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us. And Jesus said unto him,
Forbid him not: for he that is not against
us is for
us. And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly
set his face to go to Jerusalem, And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and
entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. And
they (who did not understand the parable) did not receive
him, because
his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. And when his disciples James and John
saw this, they said, Lord,
wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven,(out of sight out of mind walking by sight) and consume them, even as Elias did? But
he turned, and
rebuked them,(that walk by sight kill all the gentiles ) and said,
Ye know not what
manner of
spirit ye are
of.. (.the spirit of the anti-christs another teaching authority of venerable puffed up mankind )
