All these explanations about specific verses while you fail to explain a single one I present.
But to humour you, the parable of the two sons is about the destruction coming against Jerusalem. The context in Matt 21 is the rejection of Jesus as Messiah. And when He was rejected He gave parable after parable about the loss of one group of people and the gain of another. The son who said he would do the father's will are the Jews who claimed they were God's people, and serve Him. But when Jesus came they rejected him. And gentiles and even jewish people who were not religious leaders, but considered scum of Israel by the élite, were the ones who never made such a claim, and wound up being the ones to accept His messiahship and serve Him when He came.
That is what it's about. Read the context. You fail to realize one verse is not a complete thought and you also complain when I say to study context. Shaz, you simply don't know much about the bible.
