Help me understand your point here (I'll refrain from copying it over - refer to your post 321) You are saying that if it is not a parable, it is not God's word?

(That IS the logical conclusion to be drawn from your post...)

"You are saying that if it is not a parable, it is not God's word?"

Nope.

"That IS the logical conclusion to be drawn from your post."

No. I was clear and that is not a valid conclusion. I would have stated it, if it was. That would have made matters simple. Again, God came here to teach. If you do not learn from Him directly, you can't learn about Him from any other source.

Matt 11:25-29
At that time Jesus said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure.

"All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
