WHY PARABLES?
MARK RECORDS THE VERY PLAIN WORDS OF CHRIST AS TO WHY HE ALWAYS SPOKE IN PARABLES TO THE PEOPLE.
"UNTO YOU IT IS GIVEN TO KNOW THE MYSTERY OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD: BUT UNTO THEM THAT ARE WITHOUT, ALL THESE THINGS ARE DONE IN PARABLES: THAT SEEING THEY MAY SEE, BUT NOT PERCEIVE; AND HEARING THEY MAY HEAR, AND NOT UNDERSTAND; LEST AT ANY TIME THEY SHOULD BE CONVERTED, AND THEIR SINS SHOULD BE FORGIVEN THEM.....BUT WITHOUT A PARABLE SPOKE HE NOT UNTO THEM; AND WHEN THEY WERE ALONE, HE EXPOUNDED ALL THINGS TO HIS DISCIPLES" (MARK 4: 11-12, 34).
THIS IS VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD LANGUAGE; A CHILD CAN UNDERSTAND IT.
IT IS SHOCKING TO REALIZE JESUS DELIBERATELY SPOKE IN SUCH A WAY TO THE CROWDS, TO KEEP THEM SPIRITUALLY BLINDED, TO NOT CONVERT THEM, SO THEIR SINS WOULD REMAIN!
THESE VERSES SHOULD HAVE SENT MANY A THEOLOGICAL STUDENT, TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND THE PLAN OF SALVATION GOD IS WORKING OUT HERE BELOW.
WITH ROMANS CHAPTERS 9 THROUGH 11 AND WITH 1 PETER 3:9 WHERE IT IS WRITTEN GOD'S DESIRE IS THAT NONE SHOULD PERISH, BUT ALL COME TO REPENTANCE; THESE SECTIONS OF SCRIPTURE SHOULD HAVE SENT BIBLE READERS FROM CENTURIES PAST, ON THE TRAIL TO SEARCH OUT AND FIND THE PLAN OF SALVATION GOD IS ON FOR ALL PEOPLES OF THE EARTH.
VERY FEW HAVE EVER FOUND IT!
WHAT YOU'VE HEARD FROM TENT PREACHING FIRE AND BRIMSTONE PREACHERS WAS, IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOR, YOU ARE HEADING FOR HELL-FIRE, TO BURN AND BE IN ANGUISH FOR ALL ETERNITY. WHAT YOU'VE HEARD FOR MANY DECADES IS, GET TO THE LOST SOULS - THIS IS THE DAY OF SALVATION; IF WE DON'T GET TO THEM, THEY FACE ETERNITY IN HELL-FIRE.
FEW OVER THE LAST 2,000 YEARS HAVE SEARCHED FOR THE PLAN OF SALVATION GOD IS WORKING OUT HERE BELOW.
THERE IS A PLAN.....GOD IS ALLOWING MOST OF HUMANITY TO BE SPIRITUALLY BLINDED, TO REMAIN IN THEIR SINS, TO NOT BE CONVERTED!
THE VAST MAJORITY, OR TO PUT IT ANOTHER WAY, 99.9 PERCENT OF HUMANS THAT HAVE EVER LIVED, HAVE NEVER BE CALLED TO SALVATION, THEY HAVE BEEN DELIBERATELY LEFT IN THEIR SINS, IN THEIR BLINDNESS OF HEART AND MIND, LEFT UN-CONVERTED!
BUT ALSO, EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER LIVED, WILL ONE DAY HAVE THEIR CHANCE FOR SALVATION.
ON THIS WEBSITE YOU WILL FIND THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER, ABOUT THE PLAN OF SALVATION FOR ALL PEOPLES.
GOD THE FATHER WOULD LIKE ALL PEOPLE TO BE CONVERTED; THAT DOES NOT MEAN ALL WILL ACCEPT SALVATION, IT DOES MEAN ALL WILL BE GIVEN A CLEAR OPPORTUNITY FOR SALVATION; WE AS FREE MORTAL PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO DECIDE IF WE WILL ACCEPT SALVATION WHEN OFFERED TO US.
YOU CAN KNOW GOD'S PLAN OF SALVATION; FIND MY STUDY "THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT" UNDER THE SABBATH AND FEASTS OF GOD SECTION AND STUDY IT CAREFULLY. ALSO THE VERY FESTIVALS OF GOD GIVE YOU THE PLAN OF SALVATION.
