If the bible is the inspired word of God, as claimed, its clarity leaves a lot to be desired.


Pretty clear to me. You may want to do a bit of research and discover why Jesus spoke in parables.

Believers get confused, arguing amongst themselves over the meaning of this or that verse. In any case, what I quoted wasn't parable.
