"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.

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

Not funny. Pretty pathetic, if you ask me.

And the RCC wonders why it is hemorrhaging members or those of us who have left have no desire to return.
