Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; Whoever is discerning, let him know them. For the ways of the LORD are right, And the righteous will walk in them, But transgressors will stumble in them. (Hos. 14:9 )
This precious value, then, is for you who believe; but for those who disbelieve, "THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE VERY CORNER stone," and, "A STONE OF STUMBLING AND A ROCK OF OFFENSE "; for they stumble because they are disobedient to the word, and to this doom they were also appointed. (1 Pet. 2:7, 8 ) The way of the LORD is a stronghold to the upright, But ruin to the workers of iniquity (Prov. 10:29 )
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. (Mat 11:15 ) Whoever is wise, let him heed these things and consider the great love of the LORD. (Psa. 107:43 ) The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. (Matt. 6:22 ) If anyone chooses to do God's will, he will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own. (John 7:17 ) Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. (Matt. 13:12 )
He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. (John 8:47 ) Ye will not come unto me, that ye might have life. (John 5:40 ) My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. (John 10:27 )

Fat:
What did Christ say when the apostles ask him why he taught in parables?
Did He speak in parables to make it easier for everyone to understand, or did he speak in parables limit the understanding to a chosen few?

Hi Fat

It's easier to walk the wide road that leads to destruction.

Fat:
Jesus answered them, "To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted.

clark thompson:
He said it in parables to make things easier for the people who were present at that time, we have trouble with them sometimes because we do not understand that culture that He spoke to.
