    Why do you refuse to see this?

    Every time you do this, your credibility takes another hit. I mean, already the only reason people are talking to you in here at all is because they can't stand your lies about Jesus and the Bible any more.
    Can you tell me why Jesus said he taught in parables? Why is it that he did not want people to understand his message? What were his words? What did Jesus' words mean?

    Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
    hear with their ears,
    understand with their hearts
    and turn, and I would heal them

    There is a reason why Jesus began to teach in parables Eladar. I'm guessing you really don't know what that is.

    Jesus gave the reason and I quoted it.

    Evidently God enables some to believe and does not enable others. So if a person does not believe it is quite likely to be God's choice.


    How has God enabling some to believe and others not, been a profit to spiritual growth in your Christian life ?
