Why would I “bother” to tell you anything? You've already made it perfectly clear no matter what I tell you, you won't believe it or be held to it. But just to clarify my previous post, the “rule” of parabolic (just a simple way of speaking about parables) interpretation was just that the parable had a central meaning and that the peripheral objects/people/items were not as important to that central meaning. Other than that, as was stated by others anything in Scripture should be interpreted by other Scripture and the difficult passages shouldn't be used to understand the simpler ones. See...not so many rules after all!

"You've already made it perfectly clear no matter what I tell you, you won't believe it or be held to it."

Sounds like someone doesn't like being treated like a Catholic.
