Parables, Illustrations, FDS
by berrygerry inthere was a recent post stating to the effect that fds was simply a parable.. i always remember the debates held with christian students, about whether something was a parable or an illustration.. another thread has that issue.. regardless of whether the word parable or illustration can be applied to the fds, i have a question.. both the aid and insight books have a lengthy article on illustrations.. the article lists 30 of jesus' prominent illustrations.. however, the fds is not one of the 30 (same in aid book).. why not?.

Both the Aid and Insight books have a lengthy article on Illustrations.
The article lists 30 of Jesus' prominent illustrations.
However, the FDS is not one of the 30 (same in Aid book).
Why not?

Bobcat.
In another thread you did some explanation of the Greek.
Witnesses use the word "illustration" instead of parable.
They defend this use in the Insight book thus:
The Greek expression pa·ra·bo·leʹ (literally, a placing beside or together) has a wider latitude of meaning than the English “proverb” or “parable.” However, “illustration” covers a wide range that can include “parable” and, in many cases, “proverb.” A “proverb” embodies a truth in expressive language, often metaphorically, and a “parable” is a comparison or similitude, a short, usually fictitious, narrative from which a moral or spiritual truth is drawn.
That the Scriptures use the word pa·ra·bo·leʹ with a wider meaning than the English “parable” is shown at Matthew 13:34, 35, where Matthew points out that it had been foretold concerning Jesus Christ that he would speak with “illustrations” (NW), “parables” (KJ, RS). Psalm 78:2, quoted by Matthew in this connection, refers to “a proverbial saying” (Heb., ma·shalʹ), and for this term the Gospel writer employed the Greek word pa·ra·bo·leʹ. As the literal meaning of the Greek term implies, the pa·ra·bo·leʹ served as a means of teaching or communicating an idea, a method of explaining a thing by ‘placing it beside’ another similar thing. (Compare Mr 4:30.) Most English translations simply use the anglicized form “parable” to render the Greek term. However, this translation does not serve to convey the full meaning in every instance.How sound is their reasoning?

Yes, I apologize. Was watching this on CBC.
Typical Canadian. That is to say, we're Human Beings (hey Tal and Simon).
So, a plane crash lands (uh, hard lands ??? ).
No question, everyone is naturally in panic mode - get me the F out of here.
Mr. Earle says to himself, not out of, "Geez, if I do this, if I help this person with their groceries, if I shovel their sidewalk while in service, blah, blah, blah." says, not, this person who has lived long enough, but, THIS IS A HUMAN BEING, who needs help, and does what a fellow human being does what is needed.
We are fellow human beings.
