(JST Luke 15:11.)


11 And he said, A certain man had two sons;
luke 15:1212 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods which falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
luke 15:1313 And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
luke 15:1414 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land and he began to be in want.
luke 15:1515 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
luke 15:1616 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks which the swine did eat; and no man gave unto him.
luke 15:1717 And when he came to himself he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
luke 15:1818 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee;
luke 15:1919 And am no more worthy to be called thy son; make me as one of thy hired servants.
luke 15:2020 And he arose and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
luke 15:2121 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
luke 15:2222 But the father said unto his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his finger, and shoes on his feet;
luke 15:2323 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat and be merry;
luke 15:2424 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
luke 15:2525 Now his elder son was in the field; and as he came, and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing.
luke 15:2626 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant?
luke 15:2727 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because hath he received him safe and sound.
luke 15:2828 And he was angry, and would not go in; therefore came his father out and entreated him.
luke 15:2929 And he answering, said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment; and thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends;
luke 15:3030 But as soon as this thy son was come, who hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
luke 15:3131 And he said unto him, Son thou art ever with me; and all that I have is thine.
luke 15:3232 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad; for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; was lost, and is found.

After a careful review of this parable, I concur that this cannot apply to the Savior or to Lucifer. It is a parable about forgiveness. It reminds me of the statement, I believe was made by Harold B. Lee: "Man seems to always put a question mark where God intended a period." I concede; therefore, that this cannot and should not be applied in the manner previously cited. My apologies and retraction, Bruce G. Embarrassed I am a wiser man. Thank you for your patience.
