... give us maybe examples of how, like, teachings or sermons can a- can also accurately explain the content of a passage while failing to communicate its intended force or effect?

Yeah.

Well, when you were talking about codes there, um, it reminds me about the parables and how, you know, there was a time in history where they were really predominantly treated as, um, allegories where every, you know, detail in the parable was just representing something specific.

And so basically your aim was just crack the code, um, and attribute.

And sometimes, I mean, Jesus himself explains some of his parables, and he does attribute specific meanings to different details in the story, but not always.

It's not always the, the most helpful way that this is just, again, a code to be cracked and then we can leave the story behind.

Um, and I think this comes back to that idea of, um, like, the, the parable of the Good Samaritan comes to mind because it, it brings back that idea of communicating maybe content.

Mm-hmm.
