Yes, you have a particular agenda connected to a point you are trying to make and it's not working out for you. "Spiritual blindness" was not a new problem for Jesus's audience, history is replete with religious men missing the point, swatting at gnats and swallowing camels. Every prophet had to contend with this same phenomenon.
Isaiah 29:14 “Therefore, behold, I will again do wonderful things with this people, with wonder upon wonder; and the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the discernment of their discerning men shall be hidden.”
Don't you have an agenda? Is there something wrong with an agenda?
One's mission, under grace of God, in the body of Christ is an agenda. My mission, under grace of God, in the body of Christ is to expose truth as confirmed by revelations in the KJV N.T.. This is my agenda. So here goes:
The particular revelation which is under discussion, is as follows:
You said: "Matthews: 13 KJV N.T.
10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
I replied:Ok, will try one more time Gurucam:
"Them" is the Jews and or other enemies of the gospel, people who are simply religious not necessarily spiritual. "You" is a believer in Jesus's gospel, any believer, the 12 or a regular person in the crowd who hears the spiritual truth spoken.
In the referenced verse, 'them' referred simply to the people to whom Jesus had just spoken to in public.
You are adding your own spin by saying that "Them" is the Jews and or other enemies of the gospel. The particular revelation does not say this.
Is what I said wrong?
Also I replied: The question conveyed no confusion. The disciples had said: 'why do you speak to them in parables?' The disciples did not ask: "why did you speak to some of them in parables?".
Is what I said wrong?
You said: "You" is a believer in Jesus's gospel, any believer, the 12 or a regular person in the crowd who hears the spiritual truth spoken.
This is absolutely your fabrication. 'You are corrupting these revelations. No where is your statement above indicated in these particular revelations.
In these revelations, 'you' means only the disciples and no one else while simultaneously 'them' means every one who attended Jesus' recent public lecture. . Only these two sets of people (without any further or added descriptions) are addressed in these revelations.
You do not seem to realize and/or recognize that the disciples were specially chosen and different from everyone else. The disciples were on one side and every one else was on another side. Please stick, precisely and only to what these revelations, i.e. Matthews: 13 verses: 10 to 16 KJV N.T. say.
Indeed, is it unfair to ask:
I am seeking to simply come to common understanding of the simple and uncontaminated messages in these particular revelations, Matthews: 13 verses: 10 to 16 KJV N.T..
I would still like to know your 'translation' of Matthews: 13 verses: 10 to 16 KJV N.T. without your personal and/or other extra additions, qualifications and explanations.
You speak of spiritual blindness.
The verses which you delight in and seek to defend, are given only to people who do not have the 'eyes to see', the 'ears to hear' and the hearts to understand. These things describe people with spiritual blindness.
You are identifying with and esteeming deliveries which Jesus delivered to people with spiritual blindness.
You will not realize your folly unless you seek and get the uncontaminated message in Matthews: 13 verses: 10 to 16 KJV N.T..
Things which Jesus delivered to his disciples privately to only them are of a totally different caliber from his open public deliveries. Jesus' private deliveries to his disciples are the pure, unadulterated mysteries of God's kingdom of heaven. All other deliveries speaks only about the kingdom but does not in any way deliver the mysteries of God's kingdom of heaven.
You and the other very great majority of aspiring Christians delight in the latter. You do not focus on what Jesus delivered to his chosen few (i.e. his disciples). Instead you all delight in all his other deliveries. You all stumble at this stumbling block. This is why the very great majority (i.e all but a few) of those called to Christianity err and are not chose. They do not make it.
