Building your house on a rock - the meaning of this evangelical parable
"‘Everyone then who hears these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on a rock’, said Jesus. ‘And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on sand.’ What is this house? It is an image of human beings themselves: if they found their existence on sand, that is to say on unstable ground which will quake with their chaotic thoughts and feelings, it will endlessly sway and eventually collapse.

If our life is to stand firm, we must build it on this rock which represents our higher mental body, the causal plane. As its name – causal – indicates, it is from this plane that the currents flow which influence the mental, astral and physical realms. This explains why the work we can accomplish by rising to the causal plane has repercussions on our thoughts, our feelings, our daily behavior, and even on our health, as if orders were given from on high to bring order and harmony to our entire being."

No it means rock solid evidence. Not stupid concepts like the Trinity or hellfire.

In the rock solid evidence catagory, ONLY JW´s have the truth.

Evil controls the ignorant... Climate change is a hoax so is the vax you have been fear-porned into compliance!

Definition Satan from the bible: Satan (Rev 12:7) exercising his subtle (indirect) impact on heathen governments (powers) – i.e. accomplishing his hellish agenda from "behind the scenes."

Re: Building your house on a rock - the meaning of this evangelical parable
Ridiculous.

The "rock" is what Jesus called "these words of mine" and living your life by His word is to build your "house on a rock".
------------------------------------

"Jesus is ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’

Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” Act 4:11-12

 Quoting: Grundig


You're incorrect also.


Matthew 16:17
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

And what is God, the Father?

John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.


So since flesh and blood didn't reveal anything, but God in Heaven did.

It is the spirit that is the rock. The it is God's sprit that REVEALS the truth. So in short God is the rock, with his words of truth, his revelations.

So revelation is the rock of those called out (Ekklesis = Church in Greek). And since Jesus first taught that, he is the Chief Cornerstone of the Jesus. Since no one can enter but through him.

And what did he say?

Matthew 6:33 [
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Revelation 22:13
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

Isaiah 40:21
Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?

Isaiah 41:4
Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the Lord, the first, and with the last; I am he.

Jeremiah 17:12
A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.

John 2:10
And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.

1 John 1:1
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;

1 John 2:7
Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.


Not called the straight and narrow path for no reason you know.ALL else will lead to the corruption of the spirit. So Go within and seek God, and his WORD.


Matthew 7:14
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

The parable has meanings on many levels.

One such school of thought building a house on sand is the silicone computer chip society we live in (literally made out of sand)

One EMP or Solar Flare kiss and that metaphorical economic house comes down.
Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
