Oh for Christ's sake, Drich, that's not what the parable says.  That's your extended interpretation of its meaning.  I asked you before for biblical support that your interpretation was the meaning that Jesus had in giving the parable.  You just droned on about some statements in Paul, but Paul wasn't written until after Jesus spoke these words, and, most important, Jesus' words were not scripture until after Paul had written the bit about God breathed.  So no, Paul isn't evidence that what you mean is what Jesus meant in giving the parable.

Actually I droned on my stating how else can we know God IF Not by what Christ taught about Him. Then tied in What Paul said that strengthens What I said about the parable Christ taught.

Your take on this whole mess is based on the idea that this parable was ONLY used to tied the whole Sermon on the mount (3 chapters in the book of Mt) together. I showed you that Christ also used this parable in the book of Luke to also tie up All of Christ's teachings, not just what was found on the sermon on the mount. Which include the profiles I am using to identify the God of the bible in contrast with the god you people make up for yourselves.
