One of the greatest parables ever told reveals the complex simplicity of salvation.  Forget Catholicism vs. Protestantism, Armenian vs. Calvinist, your denomination vs. another denomination for a minute...It all comes down to understanding the core issue of salvation.  Jesus describes salvation here in a way that is so simple that a child can understand it, yet so complex that the most educated, well-to-do religious person can't attain it themselves.  A clear understanding of this parable is essential to eternal life/salvation..
