1 | Arguing Among Apostles?? | Gal 2:11 | stjohn | 224731 | ||
Inquisitor, would you be so kind as to enlighten us on what the rule is for interpreting the parables that Jesus apparently left us to figure out on our own? Is it posable for us to determine this from the sacred text we have been given? -John | ||||||
2 | Arguing Among Apostles?? | Gal 2:11 | Inquisitor | 224734 | ||
Just one that comes immediately to mind is that of Lazarus and the rich man. Many think this is a parable based with a fictional name then there are a significant portion of others who think this is based on a true story of two individuals who passed on to their Maker. Jesus doesn't give us much help with this quandry. This is the only one of which I can think at the moment, but I'll think on your question and will answer as best as I can. I would have to defer to someone else for an answer to the second question. |

Although this may be only a theory it is well excepted by many respected scholars. Try again? | ||||||
