Do you really think that you need to point out to me that Jesus didn't write anything down? Give me some credit here!
If you're going to try to make the point that nobody can ever know what is meant by the what the NT authors wrote, then there's really no point discussing what was written. There are some very ambiguous things written, and other things that are pretty plain! We can only discuss what the writers tell us about what He said. It serves no purpose to throw your hands up and say, "Oh well, we can never know!" We know what is written, and we know it says that He told parables for the purpose of obscuring the truth from His enemies! This is what it says! There's really no basis for an argument against what is plainly stated, unless you are going to call all of His recorded words into question. And if that's the case, then what's the point?
