Well, I was thinking about this other parable and now it has me scared crapless.
"The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field, which someone found and hid; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys the field. "
I am scared to death of that one.
So much so that I dont think Ill tell anyone what I think it means.

confusing...i am not sure if i understood what u meant :O
If you did understand it then it would scare the living poop out of you.
Ive been scared for about 18 or 20 hours now and showing no signs of being any less scared.
whew that was close!
I got this one now to make me feel better tho!
22 He went on his way through towns and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. 23 And some one said to him, "Lord, will those who are saved be few?" And he said to them, 24 "Strive to enter by the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. 25 When once the householder has risen up and shut the door, you will begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, `Lord, open to us.' He will answer you, `I do not know where you come from.' 26 Then you will begin to say, `We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.' 27 But he will say, `I tell you, I do not know where you come from; depart from me, all you workers of iniquity!' 28 There you will weep and gnash your teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God and you yourselves thrust out. 29 And men will come from east and west, and from north and south, and sit at table in the kingdom of God. 30 And behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last."
You don't need to be afraid. Trust in God and be willing to do his will.
yep, youre right chad!
I think the fact that you're even a little worried about it means that you shouldn't worry at all, because you obviously believe and wish to please God. It's the people who don't give a flip about Jesus' words who should be worried.
Jesus knew how to push buttons, though. I think he wants us to always be in that place where we are thinking, and struggling with our beliefs. We should have faith, yes, but we should also evaluate our actions so that we don't become complacent, religious automatons.
He also commanded us not to worry.
So, don't worry!
these commandments are starting to seem almost as hard to follow as the old ones!
Isnt that a funny thing to say!
ROFL!
Or maybe scream in terror.
I really cant tell anymore.
Good job with hiding your profile too Dot.
Although they seem quiter now those trolls are still lurking about.
