These few parables are my own and are exercises in Christian apologetics. I think they illustrate things like the nature of evidence and how we can recognize the truth of a matter.

The Criminal is a good example of what we would normally accept as evidence. Eyewitness testimony can never take a back seat to any other testimony that was not witness to the event. Any testimony to the contrary cannot be granted the same weight as the testimony of those who were there.

The House points to the impossibility of life arising spontaneously from non living matter leading to the logical conclusion that life requires an eternal, living creator, exactly like the one portrayed in Scripture.

The Way puts into the proper context what constitutes a loving action. Supporting someone in ultimately destructive behaviors isn’t loving, but warning someone against such behaviors, particularly in the face of hostile reactions, is the most loving thing a person can do.

The Interview highlights the importance of integrity and ultimately holiness is for each one of us. It would be foolish of a business owner to hire someone who through incompetence or lack of character is unable to help him accomplish his goals. The use of parables make the truth of these propositions clear.

It’s not as if I won’t be using parables in the future, but for now I will be going to a biblical analysis approach dealing with stories in the Bible and their prophetic implications. I won’t just tell you what, but how to derive sometimes very specific prophetic information from the symbols present in those stories. I promised gems in my introduction and gems you shall have. The next writing will introduce the method that I use to do this and the most important guidelines I use, because there are actually quite a few.
