We aren't trying to hide the truth from one another here I wouldn't think.
When we use parables most of the time or use them often without scriptural basis then we leave ourselves open to be led astray by the most deceitful thing there is. Our hearts.

Is it possible that some just cannot see/relate to the scriptural basis. I don't
say that to be disrespectful at all. I have seen these things for over fifty yrs.,
over and over and over. I have seen those who believed ALL of the message
of the Apostolic plan of salvation and those who refused part.
Out of the reported, approximate, 1500 that came and heard the same
message that my late grandmother heard in 1926, most refused it. But O,
how thankful I am that she heard more, searched it out, believed the Word
and promptly obeyed it, with her young son, my late father, who was 14 when
he was baptized, 15 when he received the Holy Ghost, 9 months later, speak-
ing with tongues as the Spirit gave the utterance. His mother received
it immediately after she repented and was baptized in Jesus Name.
Most of the 1500 spectors remained as they were. I know what it has done
for our family. It has made all the difference. My husband of 51 yrs, and I sit
among five of our six children and their families every week. We still enbrace
what our elders embraced back then. I am speaking of the plan of salvation.
Our other son and his family, attend a neighboring city apostolic church near
their home.
We love the TRUTH that has set us free! HE whom the Son sets free, is FREE
INDEED! Within ourselves, we have absolutely nothing to brag or glory in. But
in the Cross of Jesus Christ, who came that we might have life, and that more
abundantly! I PRAISE HIS NAME! JESUS!
I wasn't born when Grandma and Dad received the New Testament plan of
salvation. but the decision they made, not only changed their lives but made
it easier for the rest of their family, coming behind.
It may not apply to you (and I do love you too!) But there are those who do
understand and relate to these things. I usually hear from them by PM, or
email.
