I have often wondered about why that is such an important topic when dealing with spiritual issues. Obviously it is a topic that Jesus deems critical – and one that the Pharisees ridicule him about! This is the parable that Jesus tells his disciples upon exposing the Pharisees as those who really do not know about the nature and character and purposes of God."}
