Knowledge of the secrets of the Kingdom of God were given to the Twelve and others. Matthew 13:11, Mark 4:10-11.
Then why did Jesus ask them why they didn't understand?

If I believe you he shouldn't have.
Yet he did.

THREE SPECIFIC REASONS FOR PARABOLIC TEACHING

My only point here is that Dort's use of Mat. 13:11 to prove election / reprobation is wrong...unless, of course, they intended to prove Judas was elect.
Dorf?
Well, most of the posters here are clueless concerning Mt 12 on both sides of Calvin. But obviously the hyper Calvinists are beyond repair. Too prideful.

Please clarify.
Dort - The Canons of Dordtrecht - the foundation of TULIP and Calvinism.
The understanding would come later.
Which correlates with what Nang has been saying to you.
You are misunderstanding what was given and when.
The fact is this, Jesus will not return again until the Jews as a nation ask Him to return.
The unpardonable sin of Mt 12 is not an individual sin that can be committed by believers today, it was the national rejection of the Messiahship of Yeshua based on demon possession and was unpardonable only on a national level and restricted to the Jewish generation of the first century.
Hosea 5:15 states that Messiah returned to His place. Where? His place is in heaven. When did Jehovah ever leave heaven? At the incarnation, the virgin birth. What was the singular sin/offense committed by the nation that sends Yeshua back to the right hand of the Father? The unpardonable sin of Mt 12.
The question from the disciples?
Why doest thou teach in parables.
The answer of Messiah?
To disguise the truth from that generation of Israel. The parables describe the kingdom of God now in mystery form.
Paul was forgiven of his part in committing the unpardonable sin. Jacob the half brother of Yeshua was forgiven for his part in the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Individually all sin and any sin is forgivable through the death of Messiah. Nationally it was not. But just as with Kadesh Barnea it is a national sin with physical punishment physical judgement not loss of salvation. The judgement of 70 A.D. Was the fulfillment of Yeshua's prophecy and was the issue addressed by the writer of the book of Hebrews, which was penned 40 years after the resurrection.

Well in these latter days, some will not be able to endure sound doctrine.
Nothing in the book of Revelation is new information except for the last 2 chapters. The prophecies in revelation were already penned by the Hebrew prophets. Probably can't find them right?

Revelation is filled with new information, aside from the last two chapters. The letters to the seven churches aren't new? The mark of the beast? Explicit judgments details in the likes of the bowls and vials? The 144,000? We could go on and on.
I hope you meant to say something different than something so blatantly false, and are not simply a troll or a deceiver. The latter case, well, that would be one of the dumber lies I've ever seen, worse than Preterism, and just when you think message boards can't get any more absurd.
Since that can't be the case, presuming you must have some sense, we'd all surely be thrilled to see you point out where you find all the first twenty chapters of Revelation in the Old Testament, though I, for one, won't hold my breath for that. Especially something like John going to heaven in the spirit to see the vision, at the beginning of chapter four, much less Christ telling John to write at the end of chapter one, such would be an amazing feat of Old Testament exegesis, plain historic for you to locate the apostle John and that discourse, much less the seven churches, in the Old Testament.
So, astound everybody. Not.
