Parables : Or : "Pay attention now; there are clues in these stories I tell you. Search them out."

A parable is a message from God, the Father, sent through the man : Jesus, who contained the spirit from Heaven who was doing the teaching. Jesus said it himself : "I can do NOTHING without my Father." The spirits in Heaven are pieces of God in the forms of the children of God...just as a man and a woman give parts of themselves to create another human, so did God, in Spirit form. All of these spirit children serve Heaven, and by serving Heaven, I mean every planet and star in it. Heaven is a universe...the one we're revolving in.

Parables are teaching tools, relating accounts of similar situations to the ones the audience has faced, or is facing. They're a means of leaving an open door into the "mysteries" of God's plan for us, which are no mystery, in actual fact. God spoke plainly in the Old Testament, when we were given the Ten Commandments. He spoke plainly when He warned Noah. He spoke plainly through Moses. He spoke plainly through Isaiah. He spoke plainly through many men and women, and was ignored. Jesus begged for a chance to save us from the sins our fathers committed, so our Father allowed that spirit child to be born as a human boy, a boy who remembered from before the womb ...He remembered who He was, right from the start, even though His parents seem to have forgotten, when He stopped off at the temple to debate scripture with the priests and scribes, who were no doubt "thunderstruck" by a child's knowledge. Both parents had been visited by an angel...who foretold to them about what kind of person Jesus would be...yet they were terrified that something bad would happen to Him if they let Him out of their sight.

God spoke in mystery through Jesus' mouth, no doubt hoping to stimulate men's curiosity about God, and the Plan for humanity, only to find that they apparently have no curiosity about Him, or any other Deity who would presume to tell them what to do. Mankind does not fear, nor does he trust God. How can he, when he doesn't know who God is? It never occurs to "the common man" to dig into a book and see what's in it, for himself. If anything, he'll check the reviews, trusting someone else's opinions about who God is, and what He wants from us. The parables are not there for someone else to read and interpret for you. They are there for you to find, to ponder on, and to receive GOD's thoughts and opinions from. No man can feed truth into your mind from God's mind; that feed comes directly from Heaven, from God's thoughts right into yours. There is no "mediator"...no middle man, or woman, between you and God. There is only the Word, straight from the Horse's mouth into your ears, the ones inside your mind, where nobody listens except you and God. Complete privacy is needed for God's messages to penetrate.

My advice, for what it's worth, is : Study the Word. Don't be afraid that it's "too deep" for you; God knows your limitations. Why else would He permit a Precious child to run the risk of being murdered in order to get messages through to us, for OUR precious children? A Parable is a mystery to be solved, with the aid of your spiritual senses, and your physical ones. Compare what you see, hear, taste, touch and smell to the parables and see what conclusions YOU arrive at.
