## Pravidlo 5. - Pochopení smyslu podobenství a rozdílu mezi podobenstvím a alegorií

An allegory is: A story where each element has a meaning.

Je pravda, že každé podobenství je alegorií?

Some parables are allegories, for instance, the parable of the sower is an allegory: the seed is the word of God, the thorns are worries and greed, etc. But most parables are not allegories but simply stories to illustrate one point. It's dangerous to get our doctrine from parables; they can be twisted to say all sorts of things. We need to get our doctrine from clear scriptures that lay it out; then if a parable illustrates that, fine.

### Příklad 5A

The parable of the widow with the unrighteous judge in Lk.18:1-8. This story illustrates one lesson: boldness in prayer. If we draw it into an allegory, what do we have?

Zcela znásilněný obraz - Bůh je neochotný bránit práva vdov, modlitebník jej obtěžuje atd.

### Příklad 5B

The parable of the unrighteous steward in Lk.16:1-9. What is the point of the parable? Is it an allegory?

The steward is commended for only one thing, his shrewdness in using what he had to prepare for a time when he wouldn't have it. But he is not commended for his unethical behavior in cheating his master.
