God Bless you!
Fr. Spyridon, The simplicity of each video speaks more to my heart and mind than 45+ minutes of someone else's droning on about a point they never seem to make. Question/comment: are your videos an extension of your prayer?
The literary form of this account cannot be parable or historical narration because the Pharisees were the hellfire and torment teachers of the day. Jesus was telling their story back to the them with a twist of course which turned the tables on the Pharisees in their version of the afterlife. The purpose of parody is to undermine authority and expose corruption and or stupidity.
