I see we have a part of The Parable of The Sower here. To me that is the only NT parable that made any sense, because seed behaves in that manner. Some grows to fruition, some is smothered, some shoots up and dies back, some fails to germinate.
I did notice, though, that no version of the parable that I have read so far talks about seed that falls into the vision of the beholder and becomes invisible. Nor does it mention a troupe of people with buckets of whitewash painting over the seed in case anyone sees it.
I see other NT parables here at present, too.
Logically I had always preferred to be in the dark with the foolish virgins. It seemed to be far more fun. There seemed to be scope for fewer virgins after the event was over. Today it strikes me that it is no fun at all. I;d rather be in the light with the wise virgins after all.
Perhaps the light will shine sufficiently upon the whitewash and burn it away.
Anyone care to suggest any further parables?
