Subject: The purpose of the parables

St Matthew 13;10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? 11 He answeared and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. 14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see and shall not perceive: 15 for this people's heart is waxed gross, (callous or closed) and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, (physically) and I should heal them. (the sin removed from your heart) 16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. 17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

It is given unto you (that are saved) to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them (unsaved) it is not given. I was converted, and not only that but healed from the sin that is in mankind from birth because of Adam and Eve. When they sinned they where changed Physically so you must become saved or changed back as God originally designed mankind without sin, to enter into the kingdom of God. That is why it reads, But blessed are your eyes, for they see:

Whosoever hath not, (whatsoever they think they have it will be taken away.) Isn't it sad.

The only Bible that I will read and study is the King James Bible of 1611.
