Allegorical Thinking

 The Question:  How can someone learn to understand Bible Allegories better, and where did you, Man on Fire, where did you learn? 

I learned from The Holy Ghost. 

It may be that someone may be mentored into being able to think in Bible Allegories.  Lets start with learning from The Holy Ghost. 

• I don't know.  
• I don't care.  
• Be teachable.  

Was someone a Catholic, and a Bishop or Pope was doing something wrong?  I don't know.  I don't care. 

Was someone protestant and their Pastor was corrupt?  I don't know.  I don't care. 

Was someone a Protestant, and the Catholics were right about something or vice versa?   I don't know.  I don't care. 

An Academic somewhere, he needs to produce something.  He needs to produce something to graduate, and to potentially please his peers.  Who were his peers?  Who was someone trying to please?  Man or God?  Doing things that are pleasing to God, a man may be hated.  Teaching good theology at Harvard or Yale in 2025, someone may be hated.  They hated Jesus first.  (John 15:18)

In a doctor's office in the US, there may have been some toys laying around for toddlers.  There may have been a toy with some shapes.  There is a square, a triangle, and a circle.  A toddler needs to fit the right shape into the correct hole or form.  Given someone needed false things to be true, like an Academic promoting their newest Theological Doctrine, it may have been like trying to force a circle into a triangle.  It doesn't work.  Someone was selectively reading or worse. 

How does someone learn to listen to the Holy Ghost?  They were seeking God with all their heart and soul and strength and mind.  They don't know, and they don't care. 

God's plan is The Kingdom of God.  The Kingdom of God has particular values.  Was a pastor or a priest doing something wrong, ceding things to Satan, or otherwise being a false teacher?  We may care about this.  Towards getting there, where someone is in God. I don't know, and I don't care.  The goal is to be In God, where someone loves the things God loves, and hates the things God hates.  This is taught to someone by God. 

An understanding of allegories is an understanding of the Spiritual.  To understand the Spiritual, someone may need to understand The Prophets of the Bible.
