The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law. ~ Deuteronomy 29
The disciples came to him and asked, "Why do you speak to the people in parables?" He replied, "The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. This is why I speak to them in parables:
"Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand. In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: " 'You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.'
But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. For I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it. ~ Matthew 13

What can I say? When there are people who “claim to be” patriotic Americans who are so thirsty for some fame that they’d go through many troubles to twist the truth, turn it into a lie and sell it off as the ‘eternal truth’, I have no hope that...
- Jews And Christians Will Not Be Forced To Wear Badges In Iran
The National Post is backing down from the story. Here's more. This is good news. Such social separation portends very bad things, as exemplified throughout history. I am very glad to hear the Iranians are not taking this step. From what I hear (commenter...

We hear the words, and to us it means HIT ME. We hear them said and surely, we think, they must realize that by taking this path we will be compelled to act. But it's not 'all about us' The Iranians have decided. They are not afraid to roll...
