I was very surprised to find much of the Book ... with a little less detail, and a few stories omitted. Jesus goes a little overboard on the parables! Most of the parables needed to be explained to his disciples, and some of them I wasn't able to understand either! Although many parables have a good, inspiring morals to them, I would question Jesus as to if they were an effective way to witness to common people.

Although this implies that the Son is a model of perfection as is God, it does not clarify it by stating it outright.

Satan's moral state further ...
