[Quester]

You know, I thought about this parable this morning. Note that the husbandman was incredibly patient with his rebellious servants, and that it wasn't until they had killed his Son, whom he had sent at the last, that he moved to bring judgement upon them.

So, you are saying then you can beat and kill the servants all you want?

Now, certainly I am not advocating beating and killing anyone. I hope that I didn't sound like I did. But, I believe that this parable, too, makes the point that it is the Son who is key. The prophets do their part, but it all points to the Son.

"Now, certainly I am not advocating beating and killing anyone"

Well, I didn't mean that litteraly, but as used in the parable.

"I believe that this parable, too, makes the point that it is the Son who is key. The prophets do their part, but it all points to the Son."

If they kill the servents, let the Son come and go unmolested, then go back to killing the servants, should they still not be replaced? Rejecting a prophet of God has consequences to it. What is so hard to accept about that?
