It's an allegory for either Herod the Great or his Son Herod Antipater. Which of the two was the target of this parable may always remain a mystery but, it is a message that is all to reliant today-An old trick. So what is allegory and what is not? Who decides?

Luke 19:27 - (JC to the goon squad), "Bring all my enemies here who do not want me to rule over them and kill them with your swords in front of me."
Nice to see that you can't even read.
Not only is it in the bible, so that makes it true, but I was there when I said it.
Double sux for you.
Vatican celebrates big bang to dispel faith-science conflict
I can tell you are not familiar with scholarly literary criticism of the NT-I can tell you are familiar only with the religionist scholarly literary criticism which supports your view of biblical inerrancy.
And as you should know, the OT was written during or after the "Babylon exile" and the reign of Cyrus the Great, King of Persia to legitimize the jews claim of historic rule of Judah and the Northern kingdom of IsraelYou should know that there is no dependable way of knowing for sure when the bible was written.
It says so in the OT itself-The bible says so so it must be true? Ahaahaaaa

I'm not sure what you're trying to debate hereI'm debating in my mind whether you're a troll or not.
Luke 19:11-28 is a PARABLE!Of course. A parable of what jesus promises to do to his enemies when he returns during the end times.
@Whyde, be aware that there was considerable propaganda. He was burned alive because they couldn't get at Copernicus who was already dead.
The word was sittle not spite but okay. Take for example Ottos last post. He is confusing Luke 19:11-28 with the almost identical parable in Matt 25:14-32. The parable in Matt is what he claims the Luke verse mean. Only people that don't know the source material will be fooled'I' am not confusing anything. The quote I provided came from GotQuestions.org, a typical religionist apologetics site. Why don't you argue with them?
link. I'd be happy to read about itMore evidence the troll.
"Thou shalt not suffer a wich to live" is babble. ... I agree. IgnoranceActually witches by and large were midwives, teaching the village women about contraception and ways to induce abortion.

You comment on the age of the Septuagint (classic Koine Greek aka LXX) with a completely unrelated commentary on the Torah (Hebrew text).it wasn't unrelated
Seventy-two Jewish scholars were asked by the Greek King of Egypt Ptolemy II Philadelphus to translate the Torah from Biblical Hebrew into Greek, for inclusion in the Library of Alexandria-[Jennifer M. Dines, The Septuagint, Michael A. Knibb, Ed., London: T&T Clark, 2004.]
The Hebrew must be somewhat older .... do you agree?@777markandrew
You should know that there is no dependable way of knowing for sure when the bible was writtenthis is important because the hebrew or midrash claim is "the Torah was created prior to the creation of the world, and was used as the blueprint for Creation" [Vol. 11 Trumah Section 61]
I agree that that the Hebrew scripture is younger than what we in the West believe... IS evidence of its antiquity@777markandrew
You comment on the age of the Septuagint (classic Koine Greek aka LXX) with a completely unrelated commentary on the Torah (Hebrew text)this is, by definition, a false claim (see: http://www.auburn...ion.html )
I can not make this anymore pain. I'm sorry if it goes over your head. THERE IS NO THE SAME AMOUNT OF PROOF FOR A GOD AS THERE IS FOR NO GOD ... THAT PROOF EQUALS ZERO!!!-Remember when the mastertroll pussytard used to get all cappy like this?

May 8, 2017Christians, he said, believe in a supernatural God who is responsible for the existence of the universe, while "our science tells us how he did it."
-Nice try. Typical xian doubletalk. 'God didnt merely create the universe, he used science.'
WTF
