Why did Jesus say 'lest at any time they should be converted and their sins should be forgiven them' in Mark 4-12?
The words are a prophecy (Isaiah 6:9-10) concerning the nation of Israel, which began to be accomplished in the times of Isaiah; and in part fulfilled under the more plain and easy ministry of Christ.
Israel's heart had grown dull and their ears were insensitive to the voice of God. They deliberately refused to see with their eyes. They knew that if they saw, heard, understood, and repented, God would heal them. But in their sickness and need, they refused His help. Therefore, their punishment was that they would hear but not understand, and see but not perceive.

Where does the Bible say that Jesus invited everyone to heaven?
A:The Bible is ambiguous as to Jesus' wishes on this. In Matthew 18:3 ('And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.') Jesus says that people can go to heaven by being converted. But in Mark 4:12 ('... lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.') Jesus explains that in speaking in parables he is being careful not to let the undeserving become converted. Taken together, these passages might mean that heaven is not for everyone.

Do you believe that JESUS can forgive you sin if you ask?
In my opinion, NO!When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, "Son, your sins are forgiven."[Mark 2:5]If you read Mark 2:5 in isolation it is easy to see why some people think Jesus has or had the power to forgive sins.However if you read the below you might, just might, come to the conclusion that Jesus was merely passing on an instruction in Mark 2:5.By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me. [John 5:30]For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me to say all that I have spoken. [John 12:49]
What was One of the purposes Jesus had for his disciples?
One of the purposes of the disciples was to help tell Jesus's story and spread Christianity.

They also helped Jesus travel or converted as they met him because of his teachings of love. Hope that was helpful.
