Some thoughts on Allegory

Written and interpreted as an allegory, the bible message is clear, simple, and understandable. But the concept of allegory is not accessible to the vast majority of humans. They simple do not have the IQ, the intellectual capacity to read something and NOT interpret it literally. So I ask why the message of the bible was intended to be hidden from so many, and available to so few?

Matthew 7:14

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

 

Matthew 13:13

Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

 

and more ...
1 Kings 6:4

And for the house he made windows of narrow lights.

 

Ezekiel 40:16

And there were narrow windows to the little chambers, and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches: and windows were round about inward: and upon each post were palm trees.

 

Numbers 22:26

And the angel of the Lord went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.

 

1 Kings 6:4

And for the house he made windows of narrow lights.

 

 

 

There was no "Jesus"!

Jesus, Krishna, Buddha, Mohammed, all exist in character only to show us the way to get to heaven with parables. Taken literally they are all different and divisive. Taken allegorically their message is exactly the same: that the kingdom of god, heaven, is within you, here and now, and can be accessed through meditation. 

The bible is allegorical and not to be taken literally... The letter kills 

2 Paul letter to Corinthians 3:4 "....“Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.”

“13:3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;”

“13:10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? 

13:11 He answered 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.”

“13:13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.”

“13:34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: 13:35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.”
