Luke 15:11-32

A parable, and irrelevant to the issue at hand.

Talks about a father giving his sons their inheritance before he dies. Seems like it's relevant to me.

============================================
It is relevant if God is planning to die: is that, in fact the case?

I think not.

You can give a portion of your kingdom to your children whether or not you're planning on dying.

Being given an inheritance does not require someone to die. The parable illustrates that. That makes it relevant.
Your reality, sir, is lies and balderdash and I'm delighted to say that I have no grasp of it whatsoever.
