No parables. I don't want to go to hell. ~ Cross reference of Matthew 13:34 to Psalm 78:1

Matthew states that Jesus spoke in parables so people should not understand, repent and be saved. Jesus however made sure his followers understood so that after he dies, they would teach the people and then they will understand and be saved. Kind of twisted don't you think? Tanakh states that the messiah will come at a time when everyone will know about the ONE TRUE G-D of the universe and no one needs to teach another [Jeremiah 32:33]. So even if Matthew claims that Jesus taught because the messiah should come to teach, should Jesus not have taught so people understand and get saved?  Parables are used to make things clear not obscure for the listener right?. Let us see if Matthew got the right cross reference from Tanakh that "prophesied" that Jesus would speak in parables and make sure majority of people go to hell.

Did Jesus speak in Parables so people should not understand and be saved? ~ Cross reference of Matthew 13:15 to Isaiah 6:9

  Jesus's disciples come to him in private and ask him why he speaks in parables. This happens when they are clueless about the parable of the farmer who sows seeds and some fall in the fertile ground, some among bushes, some on the wayside. Jesus says that he teaches in parables so people will not understand repent and & be saved. Parables are always used to make things easier for the listener to understand. If Jesus came to die for peoples sins, should have not have taught in a way so that people understand and repent and be saved?  Tanakh never talks about the messiah coming to teach people about G-d, G-d's kingdom, himself, do miracles, heal / feed people. He will come during the messianic age when everyone knows about G-d and they will all worship the ONE TRUE G-D. Let us see if what Matthew quoted as a cross reference is correct.
