God use of symbolism and parables

By Gman4326

There is something I’ve wanted to write for a few years now. The use of symbolism and parable found in both the old and new Testament. When I was growing up and going to the different denominations therein. These were moral stories told by the second person of the Trinity manifested in human flesh. Did not mention or say who the original audience was. If they even understood what he saying at all. I was taught both in public and on the church side; what to think, and not how to think. The people in his day no longer wanted to hear the truth Isaiah 6:10 “Render the hearts of this people insensitive, Their ears dull, And their eyes dim, Otherwise they might see with their eyes, Hear with their ears, Understand with their hearts, And return and be healed.” (biblehub)   The Lord himself was speaking as a prophet to the people He had chosen before anyone of us were born. God had chosen this method as means of punishment before the new covenant was formed in Christ blood and resurrection as the prophet Jeremiah had said centuries earlier. When a society no longer wishes to hear the truth storytelling is the only option left open to them. The only choice then is to repent or be destroyed from within. I know this not an easy thing to say. But it has to be done and that is all.
