As a parable. I also don’t believe that his parable of the vineyard referred to a literal king who had his son murdered by those he left in charge of the vineyard.
If taken literally it requires ignoring the literally dozens or hundreds of verses indicating the opposite.
But I respect the fact that most disagree.
That’s consistent. Thanks for answering...this is something that has been on my mind alot lately and I was sincere in posing the question.
