Archer vs. Malik

another point right the reason that Jesus spoke in parables

I'm trying to show that this the doctrine of inspiration does not apply to these texts that someone and it's a new point brother this is a new point yes what is the reason for Jesus speaking in parables according to the gospel writers according to mark in chapter 4 verses 10 through 12 mark chapter 4 10 through 12 and when he was alone they that were about him with the 12 asked of him the back the parable and he said unto them unto us it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God but unto them that is that are without all these things are done in parables what reason verse 12 of mark chapter 4 verse 12 that so that the

Greek word there H I in a in order that he not so that seeing they may see and not perceive and hearing they may hear and not understand less than any time they should be converted and their sins should be forgiven them is the

Greek word the way it looks now you're I don't know if you gave the right person point on that I'm just asking who just wants confirmation what is your first Matthew 4 passage that is just before verse 12 through 10 you said

Matthew I'm sorry mark well that's why I'm confused I'm sorry mark all right let's start over again mark chapter 4 verse 10 through 12 all right okay now what is your point

I want to know what is the purpose set forth here why Jesus spoke in parables and in verse 12 it gives the purpose so that in order that seeing they seek they may see and not perceive he doesn't want them to comprehend understand here and here and they may hear and not understand

I'm speaking in parables like a foreign language I speak English you come around I speak Arabic I don't want you to understand what my conversation is about well why less at any time they should be converted and have their sins forgiven them well you see the problem is

Jesus is quoting a passage from the book of Isaiah and this is in chapter 6 of Isaiah the tragedy that befell the

Jewish people was that even though they were presented with the truth of God they did not accept it as the truth of God and this causes a process of judicial hardening which of course is true to all ages of biblical history and even true today the testimony came to them this is the truth of God they refused to respond to it with obedience and therefore instead of its being a benefit to them it simply made them harder in their rebellion and so Jesus is saying in general this is what we are seeing fulfilled in my generation

I teach them the truth of God and but they don't perceive it because they don't want to give us give us the theological battle here because you're going back to Matt you have this great theological contradiction going on this battle which

I which I simply want to say is the basis for all of your argumentation very weak argumentation best but it is on an unproven assumption

I mean you set up an assumption that there is a battle and then you read all these texts to prove the battle wonderful I mean but your underlying assumption there's no way in the world for you to establish but go ahead give us give us

Matthew now so we'll see where Matthew comes and you're correct you're correct there is a theological battle going on here and this is the idea

I wouldn't write as Matthew Mark Luke and John was just that theologians they were theologians who are having theological battles and this is why you have these different theologies and the
