Subject: An Enemy Has Done This! (Matt 13:24-30) |
Bible Note: Dear Vintage, I'm sorry, Vintage, but this has been bothering me since I first read your post and, I just have to ask. Speaking of parables, how do we reconcile the statement: "To be a teaching tool as some have espoused, is a false assumption." When we hold it up against 2 Tim 3:16 "ALL SCRIPTURE is inspired by God and profitable for TEACHING, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;"? CAPITALS are mine for emphasis. In light of the verse above, I'm having some trouble understanding the parables being used as a teaching tool, seen by yourself as a false assumption. Can you please help me out here, this is pretty hard to understand. Can you please give us some Scripture or perhaps some reputable commentary to lend some support to so bold a statement? John |
