Dark Sayings:

“Give ear, O my people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of my mouth. I will open my mouth in a parable (in instruction by numerous examples); I will utter dark sayings of old [that hide important truth]” - (Psalms 78:1-2 AMP)

This verse explains what the entire Bible actually is. It is a collection of “parables” and “dark sayings” that “hide important truth.”

The definition of a parable according to the Oxford dictionary is: A simple story used to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson.

We’ve talked about this a lot but it bears repeating, the Bible was never intended to be taken literally; as a matter of fact, the religious men who put the Bible together and organized it did us a great disservice by not putting the above verse at the beginning of the book where it belongs, and as a result, we now have great multitudes of people that have a really hard time wrapping their heads around most of the crazy stuff they read in it.

When we understand that we are simply reading parables and dark sayings of old that hide important truths, the Bible becomes fascinating and fun as these hidden truths are revealed to us; it’s a much more productive approach than being beat over the head with church dogma that leads to sin and condemnation.

Dive into these dark sayings and see what you find.

In love and light,
