Is this a good description of why Jesus taught parables?
That’s actually a pretty good way of looking at it, but another reason He taught in parables was the fact that He was laying out a new path of salvation through the concept of grace as opposed to the natural law given in the OT. He said, “I come not to abolish the law, but to fulfill it…” In other words, the law was to become a “basis” for the establishment of salvation through grace. For if man had to continue in law as each generation became worse and worse, we’d all have to DIE to receive salvation! Therefore, He taught in parables to help simplify the concept of grace to that first generation and offer examples with which to teach new converts to Christianity as time progressed to this age of understanding we have today.
He was very specific on key issues! Parables cover a multitude of absurd story goofs that need to be “spiritualized!” You probably heard the name of “SLAUGHTER HOUSE RELIGION” given to Christianity. ALL Christians need to snack God the Son Jesus Christ in some way as part of the “salvation” package. RELIGION is a mental disorder characterized by abnormalities in the perception and/or expression of reality. Distortions in perception may affect all five senses. It is a serious social disorder. In most severe cases, those affected are willing to kill and die, or SUPPORT THOSE WHO DO. They can’t help to behave very silly in public on behalf of their religion. Among religious people of like faith and practice, they are the champions in their own delusion! John 6:53 (KJV) Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you (DUCK! Hey, If he is God and not a Bull Crapper why does he have to keep reminding everybody that he is telling the truth? WE ALL KNOW that obsessive liars do that a
Not really: Analogy plays a significant role in problem solving, decision making, perception, memory, creativity, emotion, explanation and communication. It lies behind basic tasks such as the identification of places, objects and people. It has been argued that analogy is “the core of cognition”. Specific analogical language comprises exemplification, comparisons, metaphors, similes, allegories, and parables. Phrases like and so on, and the like, as if, and the very word like also rely on an analogical understanding by the receiver of a message including them. Analogy is important not only in ordinary language and common sense, where proverbs and idioms give many examples of its application, but also in science, philosophy and the humanities. The concepts of association, comparison, correspondence, mathematical and morphological homology, homomorphism, iconicity, isomorphism, metaphor, resemblance, and similarity are closely related to analogy.Analogy has been studied and discussed si
