القصة الرمزية هي: "هي قصة كل عنصر فيها له مغزى."
كل مثل هو قصة رمزية، هل هذه العبارة صحيحة ام خاطئة؟
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.
مثل الأرملة وقاضي الظلم في لوقا 18 : 1 - 8. هذه القصة تعلمنا درساً واحداً: اللجاجة في الصلاة. لكن ما الذي سنحصل عليه إذا قمنا بتأويلها إلى قصة رمزية؟
سيتشوه النص بأكمله: فالله يصبح وكأنه لا يرغب في حماية حقوق الأرملة، وكأن الصلاة "تزعجه"، إلخ.
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.
