most powerful person around has to answer dumbfuck bumbling fisherman so he tells them childrens fucking storiesthis guy could translocate between planes at will and the only people he could vaguely relate to were some buddies he made while he lived in hiding
Mark, the first source of a parabolic Jesus says:>When he was alone, those who were around him along with the twelve asked him about the parables. And he said to them, “To you has been given the mystery of the kingdom of God, but for those outside everything comes in parables, in order that ‘they may indeed look but not perceive, and may indeed hear but not understand; so that they may not turn again and be forgiven.’The authors of Luke and Matthew valued Mark enough that they could not omit Jesus explaining why he spoke in parables, but they changed the explanation for the obvious reason that Christians aren't allowed to believe that Jesus could intend "that they may not turn again and be forgiven".
>>17977961Read a single ancient philosopher or prophet, they all talk like this
>>17977975>it's impossible for people in ancient times to know two languages>>17978004>they could not omit Jesus explaining why he spoke in parables, but they changed the explanationMatthew 13:15, John 12:39-40 and Acts 28:26-27 all confirm what it says in Mark though.
he was an inspirational prophet who claimed to be the son of god. not the father and the holy spirit or any other nonsense. not god himself. not some weird esoteric one of three being, just a kid from galilee that fell into the role that the old testament of the bible/torah that people had been worshiping for hundreds of years before him, who died for his beliefs. his "problem" was created by the elite and literate priesthood hundreds of years later who read aloud from a single copied and pasted (with local additions) king james edition to the peasants. he never wrote anything himself and everything is secondhand though>>17977965>>17977975this. and translation from greek, and further translations from latin into old english into modern english + roman catholic additional bullshit from the 1400's onwards. one thing that jehovahs witnesses and mormons got right was including the unprounanceable tetragrammaton instead of converting it to "lord" like scared medieval villagersIf riddles scare you, take a gander at zen buddhism for nightmare materialCapcha YHVH

>>17978034See the following:"And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."- Matthew 28:18-20"And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen."- Luke 24:51-53"And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.I and my Father are one."- John 10:28-30
>>17978034fun thing about the tetragrammaton (god's actual written name in 4 cuniform letters) is that it's 4 consonants and no vowels, with 5 different pronunciations for each letter in hebrew. ya voo eh weh, yeh me voo ye. yah ho vah, ye lo him>Jehovahhe ho vah>Yahwey (Jewish torah)(silent j) ha wei>Elohim (Coptic catholic)yah wo him ancient hebrew is a bizarre and archaic language to learn and understand and try to get why sandpeople had so many letters and tenses for each letter to begin with, but it makes translation difficult to the point where we have so many variations of christianity because of it
>>17978044>>17978034>see the followingyes, and? you've given me bible quotes that i've already read and are contributing nothing to the thread. OP asked "why the riddles" and you post more riddles. at least quote 2 kings 2:23-25 for entertainment
>>17978060Just from reading the Gospel even once it's very clear that Jesus is not depicted as only an inspirational prophet who didn't claim to be God. He very clearly did.By the way, Jesus personally wrote on the ground in John chapter 8 and constantly claimed authorship of the Bible overall as God in the New Testament. There is no reason to ever say that He "never wrote anything himself." That simply isn't true. Another outright lie and intellectually dishonest misrepresentation on your part. You were simply hoping no one would show up to easily prove your lies wrong, anon.
>>17977961>what was his problemHe's a fictional character and didn't exist.
>>17977961Consider the lily... aah
>>17978004Maybe my grasp of English is weak but is he saying that he's intentionally obfuscating his message to keep people out of heaven? What's his problem?
>>17978034>If riddles scare you, take a gander at zen buddhism for nightmare materialYeah but the ultimate enlightenment of zen buddhism is understanding that the riddles are meaningless, once you acknowledge that, they let you into the secret club and you get to beat the people who haven't realised it yet with sticks and laugh about it in the special meetings.
>>17977961According to him he said they weren't allowed to understand because of the curse God put on them in Isaiah 6. So he only spoke to them in parables, but to the disciples he spoke clearly.Sounds like what God told Miriam and Aaron about Moses that when he speaks to a prophet he speaks through dreams of visions but he loves Moses so much that he speaks to him face to face, clearly and without riddles. So it seems he speaks with riddles to most others. Depending on how humble and righteous you are.
>>17977961if you can't understand his parables and consider them to be "riddles," that's a you problem idk what to tell you.
It's called a Socratic teaching style, simpleton.
>>17978031>Matthew 13:15, John 12:39-40 and Acts 28:26-27 all confirm what it says in Mark though.I already know crossroaches can't read, no need to reiterate.
