Look At Jesus' personal ministry. Did He command the same level of understanding from everyone? or did He soetime just put a parable out there for those mature in faith to understand and let everyone else apply it as they could?
Here's an example the parable of the talents (A talent being a measure of gold equal to that of a year's wage for a laborer)
A land owner gathered his three best servants to the best he gave 3 talents to invest any way he wish to the second best servant he was given 2 talents to invest any way he wish and to the third he was given one talent to invest on behalf of the land owner any way he wish.
Some time went by and the land owner returned eager to see how is servants did with their investments.
The first did very well and double what he was given, and the land owner was very pleased.
The second also doubled what he was given and he was very pleased!!
The third returned exactly what he was given, because rather than risk an investment he buried what was given to Him... Citing that he knew the land owner to be a harsh man reaping where he had not sown. What was given to this man was taken away and given to the man who had 6 bags of gold. then he was cast out side the master's lands left to fend for himself.
(More or less/i paraphrased the message)
What was the lesson here?
IF Jesus demanded we all meet a certain understanding or common base line with the law then why wasn't a common law ever issued as with the Jews?
Would you say some denominations are not interpreting scripture properly because they don't understand it properly? Most denominations accuse the other of not getting it quite right. They use their own reason and try to figure it out. Is there a booming voice coming from the sky telling them how to interpret certain passages?
How the hell they gonna 'interpret' this ??
Mark 14 (KJV)
22 And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.
23 And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.
Luke 22 (KJV)
17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:
18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
