Your claims are all vague. And it is all over the board.
It is nothing but a mess, friend.
What makes you think I am adding or subtracting?
God is not a God of confusion. And I do not claim to be of the
confederacy those of the number.The
us that went out from
us because they were not of
us from the beginning (
1 John 2:19)
I would think the parables are misunderstood by those who do not rightly divide them according to the prescription (2 Corinthians 4:18 ).
Parables take away what you call vagueness by revealing the mysteries of faith hid from natural unconverted mankind . Without them Christ spoke not.
On one occasion the apostles thought Jesus the Son of man was to vague and went off the deep end.They decided to elect a new Alfa dog as a leader.
After a series of parables one right after another hiding the mysteries of faith .he rebuked them at the end of the matter and revealed they knew not what manner of spirit they were of.
What manner of spirit do you think that was?. I think walking by sight after the things seen called the abomination of desolation. . taking away making desolate the spiritual understanding of the gospel
Being amazed or wondering is not believing (exercising faith)
.Its why Jesus said to Nicodemus one that did sek after sign to wonder or marvel after before he would exercise faith . Marvel not but rather believe.(prophecy) in regard to the greatest possible miracle (born again from above.
Luke 9: 43-46 And they were all
amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they
wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples, 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.
Again they must of thought Jesus our brother in the Lord went of the deep end the Holy Spirit not giving them the understanding in order to teach them
how to walk after the unseen things of God (faith)
The confused apostle John is shown that he had no understanding after the parable of a "little child ". The Holy Spirit working in the prophet Jesus revealed the true
us having nothing to do with what they eyes see the temporal (the confederacy)
Luke 9:49-50 And John 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.
On another occasion hiding the spiritual unseen understand of the Holy Spirit . they demanded that God bring down fire and consume the gentiles as in out of sight out of mind . the pagn foundation
Luke 9:54 And when his disciples James and John
saw this, (walking by sight) they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?
In the end of the matter he revealed their vagueness (no faith)
Luke 9:55 But he turned, and
rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what
manner of spirit ye are of.
