Parables RAK Summary: Jesus spoke in parables so people could not understand him and thereby be converted to God; he did not speak in parables so that people could more easily understand him as is commonly said today. Parable Definition: a simple story told to illustrate a moral truth. Matthew 13:10-17 And the disciples came up and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?” And he answered and said, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For to him who has shall be given, and he shall have abundance; but from him who does not have, even that which he has shall be taken away. This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, neither do they understand. In them is being fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, who says, “Hearing you will hear, but not understand; and seeing you will see, but not perceive. For the heart of this people has been hardened, and with their ears they have been hard of hearing, and their eyes have been closed; lest at any time they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their mind, and be converted, and I heal them.” (Isaiah 6:9,10) Read Matthew 25:14-30 Talent Definition: 1.

RAK Summary: Scientific facts revealed before they were scientifically verified, as well as fulfilled prophecies, give indisputable proof that the Bible is true, i.e., is the word of God. The first indisputable proof that the Bible is the word of God, i.e., is true is that it reveals facts that man could not prove until hundreds of years after the Bible was written. #minister #biblical #jesus #bibleverse #holyspirit #church #God #christian #christianity #christiansermon #sermon #RAK

Exodus Chapter 20: (the Ten Commandments) 2nd Command: 20:4 Thou shalt not make to thyself a graven thing, nor the likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, nor of those things that are in the waters under the earth. 20:5. Thou shalt not adore them, nor serve them: I am the Lord thy God, mighty, jealous, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me: 20:6. And shewing mercy unto thousands to them that love me, and keep my commandments. Why are our churches against God and His commandments? We are being mislead! Judith Chapter 11 :1 Then Holofernes said to her: Be of good comfort, and fear not in your heart: for I have never hurt a man that was willing to serve Nabuchodonosor the king. :2 And if your people had not despised me, I would never have lifted up my spear against them. :3 But now tell me, for what cause hast you left them, and why it hath pleased you to come to us? :4 And Judith said to him: Receive the words of your handmaid, for if you will follow the words of your handmaid, the Lord will do with you a perfect thing. :5 For as Nabuchondonosor the king of the earth liveth, and his power liveth which is in you for chastising of all straying souls: not only men serve him through you, but also the beasts of the field obey him. :6 For the industry of your mind is spoken of among all nations, and it is told through the whole world, that you only are excellent, and mighty in all his kingdom, and your discipline is cried up in all provinces. :7 It is known also what Achior said, nor are we ignorant of what you hast commanded to be done for him. @GospelofRAK #biblical #minister #jesus #bibleverse #holyspirit #god #church #christianity #christian #cross #catholic #gravenimage #falsechurch #rak #gospel #gospelofrak #exodus20 #tencommandments #10commandments
