Jesus had a secret language he was always speaking in code but why were the parables so complicated that the disciples had to constantly ask Jesus to explain them? You would think it would be straightforward but it turns out that it's not that easy after-all. The apostle Paul had that same understanding/knowledge and like Jesus he too was often misunderstood. It was not because Paul lacked as a teacher but simply because it appears that the writings were intentionally desiged to be cryptic.
