Jesus taught to the masses in parables, which each hearer has interpreted in accordance with their own understanding.

This great truth is confirmed in the words of Jesus to his disciples: “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables so that, they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding” (Mark 4:11-12 NIV)

The word PARABLE means: EXAMPLE
(specifically: usually a short fictitious story that illustrates a moral attitude or a religious principle)

And where do parables come from? Life! We take examples/stories of our own lives, create a short fictitious version of them and thus we have a parable.

So does anyone else believe, like me, that ALL of life is nothing but a huge parable; like that taught by Jesus, but on a grander scale?

Thus, maybe, if one were to listen to the words being spoken in this world, with the correct mindset, 1 might understand the mysteries of God

Any thoughts/opinions welcome...

If you feel it necessary to say anything such as "God doesn't exist", go right ahead, but please know that those boasts will fall on deaf ears.

Thanks!

I believe you're on the right track. Remember the mystery that they told John not to write down when they took him up to the throne room for the vision of the revelation? Trumpets blew and he was about to write down what he heard them say. The angel told him not to write that down. It was a mystery. I always wondered what it was.
