And Metmom, Jesus always privately explained the parables to the disciples. His disciples ask Him why he spoke in parables to the multitudes and He said because it is NOT given for them to receive..... (They can't handle the truth.) Then Christ would explain the parables and we this day have benefit of the parable and the explanation.
Even that parable of the sower Christ privately explained what the parable was about.
Christ also said one cannot serve two masters, which is why the theorists reject the Heavenly Father, even by law out of their houses of worship. Now some will claim Christ but so long as He is kept at the back of the proverbial bus.
Even way back in Jeremiah's time the Heavenly Father knew His children....Jeremiah 4:22 For My people is foolish, they have not known ME; they are sottish (word means stupid) children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
Peter gives another description regarding the children. IIPeter 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4And saying, "Where is the promise of His coming:
for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation."
The Heavenly Father knew full well what some of His children would be doing, Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; that they are without excuse:
21 Because that when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful;
but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four footed beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, Who is blessed forever. Amen.
Even in the parables Christ was explaining the 'creation' and the purpose of man being placed into a flesh body.
I cannot see why these that are now in complete control are having such a bad day.... their theory is now under governmental control and untouchable, their methodology (science) is the only belief system allowed by law in public education. They won, yet they are still miserable.
Now didn't Jesus have something to say about who would sit in the seat of Moses (the law giver)?
Reading their highest 20th century ideological exponent, Julian Huxley, sheds light as to why they are still miserable, and what further things they want, expect, and feel entitled to:
Religion as an Objective Problem, Julian Huxley.
It merits reading a few times, just to absorb the full picture.
