I am a little unsure if there was adifferent question or not. However I will see if I can help. I am not the smartest person in the world but I have some knowledge and enjoy sharing what I do know. Jesus did truly speak and He spoke the truth and it was in parables but the meaning was easy to understand. There was also a time when He got angry and through the money changers out of the temple for defiling His Fathers House. Jesus said what HE meant and meant what He said. At least to the best of my knowledge. Have a great day.

Jesus spoke in parables or what is the same metaphor. The parables are interpreted like Joseph and Daniel of the Old Testament used to interpret dreams and visions. The interpretation technique is called the "law of correspondences" by Emanuel Swedenborg and is known by many people. Books are not scripture if they are not written in parable from God:
FAQ: What books are in the Word and what are apocrypha?
"The books of the Word are all those which have the internal sense; but those books which have not the internal sense, are not the Word. The books of the Word, in the Old Testament, are the five Books of Moses, the Book of Joshua, the Book of Judges, the two Books of Samuel, the two Books of Kings, the Psalms of David, the Prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi: and in the New Testament, the four Evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John; and the Apocalypse. The rest have not the internal sense" (Arcana Coelestia n. 10325 or Heavenly Doctrine n. 266).

I don't get it either. Not funny when it's out of context.
