I hate to break this to you and your enlightened Christian friends, but God did place stumbling blocks, so to speak, for us. In fact, Christ makes this known to us in the Gospels. That was the primary purpose of speaking in parables. He makes this clear in his discussions of such with the apostles.
If you don't agree with somebody else's point of view, then fine, but there's no need to insult and disparage...
Yup....you're correct about this. [Matthew 13:10-14] 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. 12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. 13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. 14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
And....as far as this......No offense, but either you're crazy, or I am, because not only do I not see it, but I don't even see how anyone can come away with anything close to that conclusion from what you've presented here.
Tomorrow the sun will still come up and no one's salvation is affected by this disagreement........and I've been called much worse!
