"What was the purpose of Jesus speaking in parables?"

I have a complete and true answer, but I know it will be dismissed out of hand before it is even read and frankly, I just don't want to argue about it with dimwits and liars.

Lastly, Old Reggie has ducked, dodged and obfuscated every question posed to him and I don't feel anymore compelled than he to answer anything.

I guess I do not understand if someone believes something why they would be afraid to share it.

People mock me all the time, and I could care less, because the truth is the truth

So please do tell us why Christ spoke in parables..

Roman Catholic apologetics may well be filled with "dimwits and liars" but that isn't a good reason not to understand the Bible.

Why did Jesus speak in parables?

That's a pretty basic question of Christianity. RCs are always touting the fact they quote Christ (a fact not in evidence, but stated nonetheless.) So since Christ Himself tells us He does indeed speak in parables and why He does so, it isn't a stretch to wonder why a Roman Catholic wouldn't know the answer.

Maybe Roman Catholics haven't read those words of Christ to know the answer He's given us.

Or maybe they don't understand the words of Christ to know the answer.

What does the Roman Catholic church teach as to why Christ spoke in miracles?

well just give us the scriptural answer.

By the way, why is it when Catholics can not defend their faith, they resort to ad hominem remarks? Protestants are called filthy Calvinists, when none are filthy and some are not Calvinists, and the rest of us are called dimwits and liars.If one of us were even to allude to Catholics that way, oh the wailing from the thread nannies that would ensue! Funny isn't it

Simple answer: Put your reply in writing and stop talking to yourself.

Lastly, Old Reggie has ducked, dodged and obfuscated every question posed to him and I don't feel anymore compelled than he to answer anything.

Completely untrue, a lie, a deliberate lie, dishonest, but not unexpected. Carry on!
