[QUOTE="talitha, post: 61090553, member: 90547"] One thing that bling left out in that list of why Jesus used parables was Jesus' own answer to that question: The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you [my disciples], but to others [those who are not my disciples] I speak in parables, so that, though seeing, they may not see;though hearing, they may not understand." (Jesus was quoting from the prophet Isaiah.) In other words, Jesus spoke in parables that those who are His will understand and those who are not His will not understand, or even will misunderstand. I think sometimes we (Christians) make the mistake of pretending that we are just like other people, but the fact is that those of us who belong to Him are changed, and we have things that others don't. This is not a pride issue. It's just a fact. If there is no change, if there is nothing we have that others don't, then why bother? [/QUOTE]
