He spoke in parables and riddles - פ
From Sensus Plenior
Jesus spoke in parables and riddles and explained why in one of the most "not understood" ways. He said he spoke in parables so that they would not be converted and their sins would not be forgiven. [1]
This runs contrary to the popular belief that Jesus was trying to get people to believe in him but failed. It runs counter to the popular belief that Jesus spoke in parables so that simple people could understand. He spoke in parables so that they would not understand and would not get saved. It was a judgement against them. Ouch, I just stepped on a bunch of toes, because it is a judgement against us as well.
