One of the precepts of Pharisaic Judaism is "make a fence around the Torah" (Pirke Avot 1:1, partial). This means do not walk close to the edge of violating commandments, but stay well clear. One way to do this is to "keep a distance from an evil neighbor" (Pirke Avot 1:7), least you be led into sin yourself. There is a competing thread of thought, however, "judge all men with the scale weighted in his favor" (Pirke Avot 1:6). These sayings are attributed to sages from before the time of Rabbi Hillel, who predated Jesus by few enough years that they may have met. Hillel is quoted as saying "be of the disciples of Aaron, loving peace and pursuing peace, loving mankind and drawing them close to the Torah" (Pirke Avote 1:12). Taken together, these suggest that the Phariseeic attitude was "steer clear of sinners unless you see an opportunity to help them toward a better path." (Pirke Avot is one of the tractates of the Mishnah, the oldest part of the Talmud. The sayings there are attributed to people who it is generally agreed were Pharisees.)

What are your thoughts about the parable of the prodigal son?
I think this parable is often misinterpreted. People often say this parable is about sinners repenting. But if you look at the context of the parable you will see this parable is one of three Jesus told in reply to the Pharisees and scribes complaining saying ................ "This Man receives sinners and eats with them." Luke 15:2. The parables are given as a rebuke to the self righteous leaders of Israel. The father in the parable represents God. The youngest son represents Israel and the oldest son represents the Pharisees and the scribes.
Do the parables of the lost sheep lost coin and lost son refer to backsliders or sinners?
This group of three parables - The Lost Sheep, The Lost Coin and the Lost Son are about God's love for people who are lost and, in the context of the parables, they refer to God's love for the 'lost' nation of Israel.For example the parable of the Lost Son (people often say this parable is about sinners repenting) but if you look at the context of the parable you will see Jesus told this parable in reply to the Pharisees and scribes complaining saying ................ "This Man receives sinners and eats with them." Luke 15:2.The father in the parable represents God. The youngest son represents Israel and the oldest son represents the Pharisees and the scribes.The parable was told because of the attitudes of two groups of Israelites - the scribes and Pharisees. The Pharisees carefully carried out the rituals of the law while the scribe were the interpreters of the law. Both of these groups were self righteous and rejected Jesus. The oldest son in the parable had a similar attitude towards the youngest sonJesus primarily came to Israel to call them to repent:Mat 15:24 But He answered and said, "I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."The parable is not about sinners repenting because sinners don't start off in a relationship with God and then leave Him. People are born in sin, a broken relationship with God.The parable could be about backslidden Christians but then, who does the oldest son represent?

If you mean the parable of the "prodigal son" in The Bible then: I think there is no moral lesson in the parable. Parables - in the Bible - are usually concerned with spiritual truths not morals.

Luke 15:2 And the Pharisees and scribes complained, saying, "This Man receives sinners and eats with them." Luke 15:3 So He spoke this parable to them, saying: ......................... In the parable the father represents God, the youngest son represents Israel and the oldest son represents the scribes and Pharisees. The oldest son is prejudiced towards the youngest son because the youngest son is treated well, given a lot of attention etc by the father. In the gospels we can see Jesus paid a lot of attention to the ordinary people the scribes and Pharisees of the day were jealous because they thought they were the spiritual men of Israel. They were put out that Jesus "received sinners" they thought Jesus should have been spending time with them - they were the 'spiritual' ones.

What is the main point of the three parables of luke15?
The Pharisees and scribes resented the fact that Jesus fraternized with people who were obviously sinners. The Pharisees and scribes did not show grace to these social outcasts, and they resented Jesus' doing so. They complained, "This Man receives sinners and eats with them." This was true, of course. It was in answer to their complanit that the Jesus recounted the parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son. These stories were aimed directly at the scribes and Pharisees, who were never broken before God to admit their lost condition. They were as lost as the publicans and sinners, but they steadfastly refused to admit it. The point of the three stories is that God receives real joy and satisfaction when He sees sinners repenting, whereas He obtains no gratification from self-righteous hypocrites who are too proud to admit their wretched sinfulness.
The Parable of the Prodigal Son describe the characteristics prodigal son?
AnswerThe parable of the prodigal son is all about gentiles [or non-israelites] and sinners being accepted by God the Father while the self-righteous Scribes and Pharisees were not. There are 3 people in the Parable: the younger prodigal son, his older brother, and their father. Their representation is as follows:- The father represents God the Father.The youngest son represents sinners, outcasts, and gentiles (people from outside the nation of Israel) who were all to be part of the Father's Kingdom.The oldest son represents the Scribes and the Pharisees. He served his father not out of love, but out of desire for reward: he saw himself in bondage to his father (God the Father). Jesus taught the 2 great Commandments: love God and love your neighbour, but the older son did not love God (the Father), and did not love his younger brother.The Scribes and Pharisees absolutely hated who and what the younger son represented. They would have known very well that the oldest son represented them.Luke 15:1-3, 11-->1 Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying,11 And he said, A certain man had two sons:After all, the Scribes and the Pharisees were the 'bad guys' in many other parables, such as in the parable about the murderous Vineyard tenants:-Mark 12:12 And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: ...Luke 2019 And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.The Prodigal son represents the exact oppositecharacteristics of the Scribes and Pharisees as above.
