And yet Jesus taught the true gospel speaking in parables that he said only certain ones would understand.
Peasants, unlearned people to whom he spoke, did not know hermeneutics or the proper handling of the Greek.
Most in his day were illiterate. And Jesus taught in his native tongue of Hebrew or Aramaic.
The gospel is delivered today as it was over 2000 years ago. A person does not need to have a deep background in Exegesis, Hermeneutics, or Greek language in order to get it.

You threaten me in an open forum and imply I am Satanic because I do not agree with you?
Thank you.
I think it assists the progress of an honest discourse if I know who I'm speaking to when sharing in the truth of God's good news.

I know your Doctrine inside and out.
I know who your Master is because your Doctrine was never taught by Jesus [God] Himself.
I am merely addressing the Source of your belief.
BTW....that is a terrible example to use. Jesus was speaking in parables to "them" as a result of JUDGEMENT having been rendered.
To "us" He is gracious to reveal them.
Maybe that did not cross your mind....because of a lack of understanding the principles of sound scholarship perhaps?
Mat 13:10
And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”
Mat 13:11
He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.
Mat 13:13
“Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.
Mat 13:14
“And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says:
‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand,
And seeing you will see and not perceive;
Mat 13:15
For the hearts of this people have grown dull.
Their ears are hard of hearing,
And their eyes they have closed,
Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I should heal them.’
Mat 13:16
“But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear;
To "us" He is gracious to reveal them.

It's worth a great deal. I'm obviously new and therefore have few posts here.
Further, it is priceless to know it takes very little to cause you to resort to disparaging remarks in an effort to dismiss the perspective of those you find yourself unequipped to meet on equal ground in a civil discourse.
Thank you.
I appreciate someone being honest in their demonstration of character when discussing the sacred words of God.
It assists on my end to know to whom I am speaking when discussing the true gospel of Jesus the Christ

God led me to his truth when I was a child.
When I heard the gospel I felt full of warmth and literally felt like I was stuffed,filled up, as someone would a pillow case with cotton, with warmth and brilliant light that I can still recall radiating from inside me and outward so that I felt my skin tingle.
God called me from within myself where he had entered. And I have followed his light ever since.
Thank you for asking.

Ah, I see where you found confusion now.
The evil one does not touch me. For I am in Christ and he is in me.
1 John 5:18
1 John 3:6 "No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him."
John 5:16 “If anyone sees his brother [a Christian] committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life.''
I pray that assists to clear your confusion.

We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
1 John 3:6 "No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him."
