       Parables
       By: Colin Feener Date: June 7, 2015, 6:31 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       When we think of parables, automatically we think of the
       parables of Jesus, The lost Sheep, the lost coin,The sower of
       seeds, the labourers and the vineyard. The prodigal son.They are
       even listed and said to be parables, told by Jesus. My
       understanding is that a parable is an earthly teaching with a
       heavenly meaning. Any time they asked Jesus to tell them about
       the kingdom and God , he always spoke a parable. He told a story
       and used things of this world that were likened unto the
       kingdom. He even said, what shall I liken this unto, sometimes.
       The sower of seeds shows the son of man planting seeds of faith
       and the seed is the word of God. But now, when you look at the
       bible and consider Jesus himself is named, the word of God, and
       he always spoke in parables, and then look at every passage in
       the bible. like the garden of Eden, the trees, the beast,
       everything. Its all taught in earthly teachings and everything
       in the bible has a heavenly teaching hidden from those who do
       not understand parables. It is all parables. Even the flood of
       Noah, the parting of the water for Moses in the Exidus.Every
       story can tell you a spiritual teaching and God is Spirit. Every
       miracle of Jesus has an interpretation into the heavenly
       teachings.
       When you see the old testament, you have to wonder why God
       would kill everybody in the world in a flood. Why would God tell
       people to cut the heads of others with a sword. Of course, its
       all parables. Then you can see that in this world's
       understanding the old testament is the fire and brimstone
       teachings and deceiving to us if we do not understand parables.
       The liar and the murder and the father of it all. The Spirit
       tells the truth, and makes more sense to me. If Jesus is God, I
       have trouble seeing Jesus telling people to kill people. That's
       why I say it is written in parables and is the place where Satan
       dwells, deceiving the world, killing people spiritually with the
       letter.
       But now we see the new testament in a different way. We see it
       as the body of Christ, his flesh and blood to be eaten in
       remembrance of him. He even said himself, do the things I hate
       and I will come upon you as a thief. Like the night before he
       was crusified. He is not a thief but without Spiritual
       understanding and the understanding of parables, swe receive the
       word as a thief, stealing the seeds from us. Stealing our cloth,
       our robes and even our salvation because it keeps us from being
       converted. Jesus never said he was coming as a liar to those
       people so, considering that, it should be the truth but the
       truth came to us in the flesh but in parable form.
       It gets way better then that. The Lord gave me several visions
       and in them he alway came to me as an earthly person to show who
       he was so even now, even then he is all the time living in
       parables. He stayed up in the mountains. God's righteousness in
       the mountain for us to climb and there we will find where he
       dwells. The Holy Spirit moved over the waters as Jesus moved
       over the waters, walking on water. Did it happen.  I believe the
       word is written  in parables but they are not made up, they are
       what happened. Jesus is the earthly form of God. A parable of
       God and even God , incarnant. When the word became flesh, it all
       became flesh and the twelve disciples are parables of the sons
       of Israel.
       WE can continue this but I need a break now.

       Several places in the bible Jesus tells us why he spoke in
       parables and it was not to get people into heaven but keep them
       out. Not the good guys but to keep out the enemy and his demons
       and dark angels. Truth is hidden  and it is for the reason as he
       said,. If you want to know the truth it has to be given by God
       and it all comes threw his son Jesus who is the truth himself so
       if he is the truth and the truth is hidden, Jesus himself is
       hidden and is also a parable. Born of an undefiled woman,
       virgin. The word undefiled is too likened unto as virgin. She is
       the copy of man like the flesh and bone of Adam and the word
       written is flesh bone , the unbroken word, so the word seen is
       woman undefiled, untouched, virgin.So even Mary and the
       disciples too and everything natural is  parable and then with
       it is the paraclete, the Spirit. What is real. What is the house
       of God, the temple How can a church move  around. Is the
       building the church or the people . The building is the parable
       but that is too simple of an example. But all things physical
       and written in the word is flesh on the outside while the
       spirit is inside so people can all be in one place but some are
       inside while others are outside. You open or close the door by
       stopping the teachings that get a man to the inside.
       What I hope for is that we can see, it is all written in
       parables but even before the word was written and recorded the
       word is there and seen by the life people are living because
       Good cannot be bad or bad good. The works and the deeds of
       people reveal who they are and what portion of God they have
       been given and live. Only God chooses who gets what portion and
       how much he receives. You can see too with the talents in a
       parable he gives ten and that person was the good and knew what
       to do , like the five but the one did wrong. It also shows God
       knows what portion to give a person, If the person with ten
       talents buried them, God would be a bad judge of people. He
       knows and he is always right, thank God.
