The answer to your question is a primary mystery of God's kingdom of heaven which was given by Jesus, in clear and literal words, only once, to only the disciples in a private session among only them.
This is that mystery. It says, literally: All truth come only from the Spirit of Truth and not from any physical source, like the physically recorded, physical words of the physical Jesus and other physical humans.
The following is the source of the above:
John: 16 King James Version (KJV)
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
All truth is revealed only individually and privately to only 'converted' persons from the Spirit of Jesus/Spirit of Truth. This is done only through an internal intuitive connection with the Spirit of Jesus/Spirit of Truth through one's own heart/spirit . . . and not from any physical source, like the physically recorded, physical words of the physical Jesus. This is why parables cannot and do not contain any truths or Truths.
'Conversion' (spiritual awareness) is a first requisite. To be 'converted' is to cease having a heart/spirit that is 'waxed gross/covered over.
Matthew: 13 KJV N.T.
10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
5 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
Only a 'converted' person (i.e. one whose heart/spirit is no longer waxed gross) can search his or her heart/spirit to discern the Spirit of Jesus/Spirit of Truth, within (and obtain the mind of Christ and All truth).
The following is the source of the above truth:
Romans: 8 KJV N.T.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
The Spirit mentioned in the above is the Spirit of Jesus who is also the Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Intercession. The will of God is another Spirit who is the Holy Spirit. No one comes onto God, the Holy Spirit but through the Spirit of Jesus Who is the Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Intercession:
John: 14 King James Version (KJV)
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
2 Corinthians 3:17King James Version (KJV)
17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
I am, at least, a Saint because I am led, in real time, all the time, by the Spirit of Jesus/Spirit of Truth as discerned within my own heart/spirit, in real time, all the time.
It is all about live, real time, communion with the living Spirit of Jesus . . . and being led in real time, all the time by precisely what this Spirit has in mind for me to know, pray for, say and do, as discerned within my own heart/spirit. Only this is the Christian way.
Therefore, I teach on my terms. 'My terms' is precisely how and what the Spirit of Jesus/Spirit of Truth instructs me to teach. Therefore I reserve all rights, so as to serve this end, unconditionally.
I reserve and exercise the right to 'provide and quote the specific verses that "literally say" this'
I will not and do not simply, 'provide, but do not quote, the specific verses that "literally say" this'.
All truth comes to a person when he/she has/acquire the mind of Christ. Do you know how to have/acquire the mind of Christ? You will not find the mind of Christ in a book/written scriptures.
The mind of Christ is precisely what the Spirit of Jesus/Spirit of Truth has in mind for one to know, pray for, say and do as discerned, live and direct, within one's own heart/spirit, in real time, all the time:
The following is the source of the above mystery/truth:
Romans: 8 KJV N.T.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit (of Jesus/Spirit of Truth), because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
Now you ought to know that All truth comes directly and intuitively only from the Spirit of Jesus/Spirit of Truth, through one's own heart/spirit, in real time, all the time and not from parables, and the written scriptures, etc.
If you do not know the above truth, you cannot enter God's kingdom of heaven.
However God also has a kingdom of hell for those who do not know scriptures correctly and therefore, do not follow Jesus, accurately and therefore err and are not chosen. The source of the above is as follows:
Mark: 12 4King James Version (KJV)
24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
Fact is, God created and sustains all things. Each person has free will to believe what he or she want and to go where his or her choice leads him or her.
No one, not even God or Jesus can or will deny any human the above right. Indeed what one soweth, one reaps.
I am a Saint because I soweth to the Spirit Jesus as discerned within my own heart/spirit. You guys seem oblivious to your spirit and the Spirit Jesus. You guys seem to soweth to your own flesh and the flesh and blood Jesus. Therefore we reap totally different things.
Galatians: 6 King James Version (KJV)
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
. . . you need to over-come your fear of hearing the blatant truth as quoted literally from the Holy KJV N.T.
I am obliged to post them for your edification and paramount good.
