Theology of Predestination and Salvation
The parables are not about some other story or set of ideas floating above Jesus in the ether, a theology of salvation. They are stories that Jesus used to explain what he was doing on the ground in the moment. The soils represent how people of Jesus' generation responded to him and his message to Israel. We shouldn't be surprised that many people aren't going to be sold on Jesus.
