Garee, you keep referring to this statement, "Without parables, Christ spoke not". The problem is that you have taken it out of context and applied it incorrectly. Jesus plainly DID speak without parables at times. Not everything in Scripture is a parable; in fact, most things are not parables. By assuming that most things are, you have come up with a boatload of weird interpretations.
You are focusing too much on John 6:29 and ignoring verse 28, where the disciples ask, "What shall WE do, that we might work the works of God?" Jesus' response is simple: In order to do what God requires of you, believe in the One He has sent. That isn't "God working in us" without our involvement!
Your statements about faith being the tool that unlocks the Scripture is correct, but you're overlooking a very important point: you don't have some sort of faith that other Christians don't have. You have the same kind, and as such you don't have some special ability to understand the Scriptures.
Hi thanks for the reply
I am not claiming I have a different faith .Like fingerprints we hear differently. In that way there must be heresies as personal commentaries of what we think God is teaching. .He I beleive gives us the tools for rightly dividing. He would not lovingly command us to study in order to seek the approval of one not seen if he did not offer the proper tools to hear his tongue called prophecy.
There is no fleshly infallible mediator that umpires between man seen the temporal and God not seen the eternal called a daysman .
Even Jesus as the Son of man refused to stand in holy place of His unseen Father as a abomination of desolation. I offer my bread as a private interpretation as you offer yours.
The problem it would seem is you have removed parables as prophecy as you do with tongues. By assuming it is not prophecy you have literalized the hidden understandings that preaches the gospel beforehand. The reason for the ceremonial laws as shadows. The manner spoken of in 1 Peter 1:11 .A picture of our bloody husband Christ si uffering before hand. and the glory that di follow.
Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.1 Peter 1:11
the time of reformation came 2000 years ago.
That would seem to indicate no faith was mixed in and a heart would remain hard no rest from the gospel .
The fact is we can do nothing without him doing the first works. Demonstrated by the first born into this world as the Son of man. the promise from Isiah and other parables like that of Abraham and Isaac.
You could say like the parables that defines the ceremonial law of the first born. (circumcision) Moses refused to honor it by cutting the flesh his first born and Lord had mercy and sent his gentile wife Zipporah as a savior.
Zipporah is used to represent the bride of Christ, twice in two verses as two witnesses related the first born that defines circumcision to signify to our bloody husband Christ. In that way I think parables help us to walk by faith. A lesson that Jesus repeated over and over .purposely hiding the understanding giving it to a kingdom of priest.
25 Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me.
26 So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision.
Him working in us giving us ears to hear him not seen . Those in Revelation 2 were putting their born again new faith as the first supernatural experience of believing God called our first love. Some were having it in respect to men seen as leaders like Nicole .
The loving commandment that calls us to repent and do the first work of God that works in us causes us to believe what he says. And not put your faith in the flesh of the leaders. . . if that is the kind of gospel they are preaching.
The deeds or works of the flesh of the Nicolaitans' is that which the Holy Spirit also hates as the wrong manner of spirit coming from what the eyes see and flesh feels .
Do the first works of Christ working in us. Believe God, our first love. He promises us in Hebrew 11 as to the better thing that accompanies salvation. . He will not forget the good works we offer towards him who give us power to perform them.
Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. Revealtion2:
Yes not without our involvement. He moves, us yoked with us as Emanuel to do his will and therefore the work of us believing our invisible God. . .Just as he moved those to record his thoughts. the witness of his word represented by two. The law and the prophets. The father and the Son.
2 Peter 1:19-21 King James Version (KJV) We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
In the book of Job the Holy Spirit reveals . (chapter 23) Eternal God is of one mind and always does whatsoever his soul pleases for he performs that which is appointed to us as in : waht do you have that you have not received, He whose name is Jealous as a atribute
The one who owns all claims to be the spirit of power to make our hearts soft as we rest in His gospel. Sabbath . We have the power in our earthen vessels but is never us us .No man can serve two masters as a source of desire.
I would say he is our breath of life we are in need of much prayer.
