Lessons learned from Jesus: the parable of the two sons, Biblical repentance #2

[Titus]

hardly think the other spirit would be leading me astray

The Holy Spirit is not leading you astray.
Your beliefs that the Holy Spirit is guiding you miraculously apart from the word is leading you astray.

 

[Titus]

because first of all, you cannot tolerate being disagreed

Will you be persuaded to believe that you could be wrong on your interpretation?
Or can you not tolerate being disagreed with on the parable of the two sons?

 

[Titus]

have been rude, and once more failed to explain further when I said I did not understand your position.

This is a false accusation. Where did I fail to answer your question?

Also I've been gracious to continue in conversation with you.
I wanted to end the conversation as soon as you said you are holiness knowing they cannot be reasoned with because they go by feelings not by logic.
I'm not rude I'm blunt sometimes.

You cannot please everyone so thank you for the discussion, and I love you very much Hepzibah.

 

[Hepzibah]

Will you be persuaded to believe that you could be wrong on your interpretation?
Or can you not tolerate being disagreed with on the parable of the two sons?

Yes I was willing and have spent some time thinking it through. I appreciate the chance to do this.

However, I have not come back to continue in discussion as it is futile when you were not prepared to do the same. Just to tie up a few ends.

I did not mean that I alone have a different interpretation, but see now, that what I meant, is that I believe there is a deeper meaning to the parable which I am investigating and am amazed that it is so meaningful from what I am gathering about it.

The thing that stands out is, that Jesus is using an analogy of the kingdom of God, in the father with the vineyard and his two sons. A family. He is, I believe, saying that here are two types of believer, one the obedient ones and the other are what Paul calls carnal believers.

I am not concerned with the popular interpretation, that you have voiced, ie the repentance of son 1 is of someone converted as I do not see this due to the analogy of the sons as being already in the family of God.

What He speaks of in His rebuke, are those who were not in the kingdom which is how you are seeing the parable. And it is not in accordance to the analogy. They did not understand what being an obedient son entails, which is to be holy as He is holy.

The parable leaves out as much as it says and I am still working through it.

Have a blessed day.
