> Nobody could understand 100% of what Jesus was saying.
It's exceptionally clear. Most just don't want to hear it because of how challenging it is. The Apostles certainly weren't ready and the very tone of their questions is meant to indicate this.
They also openly complain at times when they fail to understand after being told. This is why Jesus cursed the fig tree, to make this exact point to them in response to their complaints and selfish questions.
> Kingdom of Heaven is a pearl you save when you find and throw all others away.
Yes, and then you need to get as many others to come with you as you possibly can. This is exactly what Jesus commands.
This is what I take from the Bible because these were the types of problems I had in my life. I was aimless and didn't understand what God wanted and that made me angry. So these are the parts I needed to focus on, personally.
The thing is the wage of sin is death. The thing is you have to die in the flesh to be born again in spirit. New wine in a new barrel. Old wine wont mix. Cant deal with evil. Oil and water dont mix. Dont negotiate with evil. Being a Christian is about fighting the good fight. The word of God is a sword. Christians are being too fragile and they are not fighting. Carry your cross. He even said about your own brothers betraying you(false brothers) and not loving father, mother, son or daughter more than loving God.
