You do recognize the difference!

Parables are not secret code that Calvin found the decoder ring for.

There are a means of teaching stories. Different levels of meaning are possible. Hence, “ears to hear” and different people getting more or less of the story’s point as Jesus explained.

As I said several posts back.

This is the meaning of the scripture - but you have to read it without Calvinism special decoding.

As I said, several posts back.
