Response to Godschild,

Your proof-text, Matthew 7:7, is set between other symbolic verses. For example:

Verse 3-5 - about eyes with specks and logs in them…is about intelligence hindered by small versus large falsities.
Verse 6 - giving holy things to dogs, pearls to swine…means presenting spiritual ideas to those unable to receive it because they love evil.
Verse 9 – fathers giving their sons loaves and not stones…concerns desiring truths that nourish our character versus dry and useless ones.
